I don't rate him that highly, he gets himself in some awful positions and he goes to ground alot in the tackle, he lacks composure as well which is a surprise to me, especially as he played under Eddie Howe. He does work really hard though and is positive when he gets on the ball, if we do stay up then i hope that we don;t make his stay permanent.
I agree with that as well.
It might be interesting to note that when Arter has played the 90 minutes (or most of it), we've won 0.8 points a game when he hesn't started and 0.9 when he has. Percentage wise, he's also started more often against the top 6 than he's missed out against them. I'm not convinced he's had the impact we needed, he's been steady but I can understand why Bournemouth were happy to loan him out.
If what Arter does is so easy, you would have thought someone, somewhere in the Premier League would have better stats than him in this category. I'd definitely look to sign Arter if we stay up and would investigate the possibility of him coming here if we go down. Although, with the exception of Camarasa, I believe our central midfielders have been much of a muchness this season, I'd also say that our biggest problems have been at either end of the pitch - more than anywhere else on the pitch, central midfield is about getting the blend right and I'd be happy to have Arter, Camarasa and Ralls here next season in the Premier League along with a defensive midfielder who is also a bit of a play maker.
Our central midfield's passing stats are horrific compared to the rest of the division. Much of the problem with either end of the pitch is due to this. We give up so much possession that our defence is required to do more work than any other defences in the division, while we're hoping for a miracle up front that will feed off the crumbs we're given. It also means we launch the ball downfield at most opportunites as it allows the defence to reset and in the hope that we can get on the end of one of them to start an attack as we're not likely to from open play.
I would say we need a complete rethink in terms of how we play.
