One issue for Arter would be that he has nothing to compare it to. Not that his comments are particularly negative but he has been on a great journey with Bournemouth that has created a natural bond. The England set-up would surely be much, much different.
I'm sure it would be much the same experience - rather new and daunting - for any player joining up with an international squad for the first time, especially if no other team-mate at his club also plays for that country, but, as you say, Arter only has his experience of joining the Irish set-up to comment on and has no other experience to compare it to.
I'm a big fan of Arter. He's a decent lad and definitely strikes me as a thinker; he's self-aware, knows his place and I sense he appreciates the privilege of being part of the Ireland set-up. He's come through a lot personally and certainly doesn't deserve the suspicions and aspersions that have been cast his way by doubters - out of ignorance really - in the past.
Agree with everything there. For a player who probably won't reach great heights at club level, he's going to have a great career post-football. My first instinct would be as an analyst as I think the big networks would be mad to get him for some of the afore-mentioned traits.
I saw a tweet here saying he was injured but I've no idea if that's confirmed elsewhere, nor have I seen it mentioned elsewhere: https://twitter.com/merrisman/status/911586480702869504
It's possibly just the tweeter's (incorrect) assumption. Other tweets mentioning Arter seem to suggest he was dropped due to poor form, although it's surely odd that he isn't even in the match-day squad.
knock in training according to a post on bfc forum, sounds credible to me, if they were gonna drop him you would expect it to be the bench.
he for a decent rating on his last game, his best of the season iirc.
Has a 90% tackling success rate, second in the Premier League according to planet football: http://www.planetfootball.com/quick-...rs-five-games/
Well Bournemouth lost without him.
He is below his form of previous seasons about 6.45, been closer to 7 in the past, but his last match was a 7.03
best of the season so far.
He was injured and was not in the squad today. also a doubt for the Ireland fixtures.

HARRY ARTER HAS emerged as an injury doubt for the Republic of Ireland’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Wales.
The Bournemouth midfielder has not trained all week for the Cherries and manager Eddie Howe revealed that he will miss the side’s clash against Leicester City tomorrow.
“The problem isn’t a serious one, but he is injured and hasn’t trained with the group this week,” Howe told reporters at his Friday press conference.
Arter hasn’t played since the 15 September and missed Bournemouth’s last league fixture against Everton.
However, he was included in Martin O’Neill’s squad for the crucial double-header. So, it would represent a serious blow if he misses out.
Jon Walters and James McCarthy are absent for both fixtures because of injury while James McClean and Robbie Brady are suspended for next Friday’s clash with Moldovs
is that right that McCarthy is out?
I doubt Koeman will be too happy if McCarthy breaks his leg against Moldova!
Koeman should be OK, at least untill Xmas, they have some easier fixtures coming up (bar Arsenal) which should help.
