Ajeti scores!

There was something inevitable about Albian Ajeti scoring on his league debut for Celtic against Dundee United. If we assume the Scottish Premier League is about the same standard as the Championship then that is probably Ajeti's level. The Yeti scored a few goals for Basel but never looked a Premier League player during his few sub appearances plus three games in the Cups for West Ham. Which means he'll probably be brilliant for Celtic. 

Meanwhile the Times reports that the Irons are desperate to offload Jack Wilshere and will either buy out his contract or subsidise his wages in a loan move. Knowing the Hammers' anti-Midas touch, what are the odds he goes to another club and plays 38 games in a row?

Wilshere's tale of woe

Quite an insightful piece by James Olley on Jack Wilshere in the Evening Standard this week. His ankle problems seemed to start with a hairline fracture of his ankle when he was 16. He was told to cure it through rest over that summer, but later discovered it hadn't healed properly. He then got a kick on the same ankle which required surgery at the end of the 2010-11 season. The piece also points to the fact that he played 54 games in 2010-11 when he was just 19. Since then he's been on and off the treatment table and often rushed back too soon. 

He's looked like a poor West Ham signing with that injury record, but you've got to feel sorry for Wilshere too. For a professional athlete it's never easy when your body won't function properly, as Andy Murray has just found out. Let's hope his last chance at recovery finally succeeds.
