Paul Scholes isn’t impressed with Jack Wilshere’s move to Bournemouth.
In fairness to Jack, little seems to impress the former Manchester United midfielder, who appears either underwhelmed or very underwhelmed during his punditry duty for BT Sports.
However, Scholes made some good points when asked about Wilshere’s season-long loan move to Bournemouth.
The Arsenal midfielder has, so far, failed to build on his early promise, and has suffered a series of injuries in recent seasons. Arsene Wenger couldn’t guarantee him a first-team place this season, and made him available for loan.

The 24-year-old turned down offers from Roma, AC Milan and Crystal Palace to join Eddie Howe’s side, and Scholes says the player “may have set his sights too low.”
“I would have liked to have seen him, if he did have to leave Arsenal, go to a big club like Roma,” Scholes told Sky Sports.
“Get some experience abroad, I think that would have been great for him and would have been great for the England team as well.”
It was put to Scholes that Wilshere’s move to Bournemouth made sense because it would enable him to play regularly and regain fitness.
However, Scholes made a good point about the player who last completed a competitive club game in September 2014, saying: “Just because he is going to Bournemouth, doesn’t mean he is going to play all the time.”
Scholes seems to think there was no guaranteed chance of success with any of Wilshere’s potential moves, so he would’ve been better served playing for one of Italy’s most famous clubs.
