Not over the moon with this signing, may be solid but just one i can't get excited about
I think we need a CM who can spray the ball to the wingers (Knock/Cava) if we are going to be successful. Arter is not known for his passing ability to put it nicely
Hope he proves me wrong! I think he will do alright

Of course your not,he's English,and his name isn't Koriagosmiky or whatever.

Was good then but slow. Now two years older!

My worry.    Yes, we replaced a slow Mac with a slightly less slow...but grittier CDM.

The team is still incredibly slow and short.

I like the upgrade on MacDonald though.   


Number Six

Never seen Arter play.. any comparisons? How does he play?

He's not a holding midfielder and he never was for Bournemouth - Surman was always the player that sat behind Arter, who was deployed as an 8 playing box to box

bencher

For me, he replaces StefJo in the team. But what the team needs overall is higher intensity in the centre of the pitch, and I'm not convinced this switch is enough.

Hope not.   If they didn't want him back at Middlesborough I don't want him on Fulham's squad.

Arter is an upgrade on either Mac or Stefjo...so I'm ok with it.

I just could not understand the complacency about having the same middle three as two years ago. Talk about living in the past.!
Two new plus TC  is our only possible patching up solution.

Combative box to box type. Simple but accurate passing generally. Can be a bit volatile and card waiting to happen. Got a good strike on him and capable of spectacular goals.  Industrious hard working player who should do more than a job at this level.

Cairney is he playmaker, lets hope Arter proves to be the ball winner.

SteffJo is not good enough and was shocking against Barnsley

Just asked Artur, says he's not english. No gun jumping here.


Facts Not Fiction

Does he go into the starting XI? Yes.

Can't be a bad signing then.

MacDonald pinged a few long balls to Fulham's flanks...but other than that..defensively he was more useless than Stefjo.

I think Stefjo had a bad game.   I don't think Mac can play with more intensity to save his life.   Both should have better players in front of them.

Well, it's a big improvement now with three games in a week KMac, Stefjo and Arter only need to start twice each. Four Old Guys are better than Three Old Guys.
