He can't play on Satuday
Excellent news - and probably just as well. He can, however, tell us all about how Bournemouth are likely to set up against us...Quote:

Pleased with that. Should fit in well.
Prefer him to Grujic personally.
Excellent news. Looking a lot better now. Lets get behind the team now and upset a few people.
No ayatollah. This lad takes no shit.Quote:

And me , thought the Grujic panic, was so over the top, it was as if he was some bloody superstar , thought he lacked a lot of composure when playing for us ,showed some promise ,come the end of tge seadon nail biter we decided on Brayson(and rightly so )Quote:

The two lads we have are better, by far , one is a proven operator in this league , the other has played against top quality, in La Liga.
Good signing that! Hopefully we got a midfield duo today.
Last season Arter played in 13 of Bournemouth's 38 games.
He started the first 5 and completed 90 minutes in each. Bournemouth lost the first 4 winning the 5th against Brighton.
His last PL game was the New Year Day draw at Brighton, he didn't feature in any of their last 16 league games.
How many games did Gareth Bale start at Spurs before they won a game?Quote:

Well saidQuote:

If you think comparing Arter with Bale makes sense, then knock yourself out.Quote:

Surely that answers your implied point nicely.Quote:

Remembering that there were once doubts over Bale and Mail articles highlighting spurs never won with him in response to your post doubting Arter and highlighting that Bournemouth didn't start well last year. You seem to like stats tonight, can you find Bale's paper rating at the time to Arter's last year? If they both scored 5 and 6's at the time then another way they're similar.Quote:

In the other thread you admit he does significantly improve our midfield options so 50% of his job done and it sounds like he wants to impress Howe (or another premier league manager) which he'll do by competing the other 50%. Sounds like a decent signing on the face of it.
I like stats every night. By the way, the burden of proof is on the person who thinks comparing Bale with Arter makes any sense at all. You can find the newspaper reports, if you wish, but I would question their validity - being as it's just one person's opinion of a player performance in one game.Quote:
