Loads of West Ham fans are unhappy with Jack Wilshere’s return on investment
Twitter has reacted negatively to Jack Wilshere’s current contributions to the club.
Wilshere signed for West Ham United on a three-year deal, but some fans are questioning whether the Englishman’s contract is too lengthy.
The 27-year-old midfielder has only played 177 minutes in the Premier League this season, which is the sixth-lowest in the whole squad – as per WhoScored.
The Englishman’s only goal this season came in the League Cup in a match whereby he played a starring role against League Two outfit Newport County.
We cleared Carroll off the wage bill just to have Wilshere for another 2 seasons on £90,00 a week.
712 minutes of football in 13 months. Ridiculous decision to hand him a three-year deal. #WHUFC

It’s been said that Jack Wilshere could earn up to £100k-a-week – according to football.london.
It’s hard to see where a fit Wilshere will play and who will be dropped, with Robert Snodgrass, Mark Noble and Declan Rice all playing against Sheffield United.
The English midfielder has a WhoScored average rating of just 5.9/10, however, he has managed to keep a respectable average pass percentage of 82.8%.

Baffling.

Wilshere can be quality but him, Caroll and the other injury prone players should always be on a pay as you play deal.

I said from the start offer him pay per play #robbingaliving

Said this from day one.
Ludicrous decision to sign him on a three year deal.
Even when he can manage to get himself out there he’s miles off the pace.
Try and come to a settlement and get shot of him.— Richard (@Richardod64) October 28, 2019
i think all those injuries have caught up with him
