The Arter signing seems great, but the fact that we are able to get him in League One makes me a bit sceptical has he completely fallen off a cliff the last couple of years? I know Fulham fans don't like him at all but obviously a huge gap between us and them where he could still be more than good enough for us
This is all reminding me of the Ben Watson hype with added one-of-our-own. Let's see what's left of his engine shall we? A playing career can take it out of you somewhat
If Arter does sign, who gives way? Neither Clare nor Dobson has exactly shone thus far.
I would assume it would be Clare of he's still carrying an injury, not to mention Dobson being more outright defensive would free Arter up to focus on the attacking aspects.
I've got to admit that the idea of Arter feeding passes to the likes of Kirk and Lee with Stockley as the target man is one that SOUNDS like it should be very potent.

That said he's a couple of years younger than I thought!
Think that would leave us needing a left back, back up right sided centre back, and striker.
If we can use five loans, three have been taken (Famewo, Lee and Arter) so either one of those 3 is a permanent signing or just not happening. I think the LB and striker are going to be prioritized given Adkins' seems to be impressed by Elewere.

5 years younger and 4 years younger than when he signed.
Totally different situation. At league one he should have a couple of years at least of being a top player l.
Will be a very good signing. The sort of player we need in that midfield. Yes he does like a challenge. But him Gilbey and Lee will be wxcell as a midfield
Really like Arter, or at least I used to. Concerned that rock bottom Forest are willing to let him go? Worried of a Watson/Arter midfield pairing? But then again, can it be worse than what we have already. If he has been brought in to add guidance to the younger midfielders what does that say about Watson? Dempsey or Lowery would have been preferable but a budget is a budget.

Although Arter is 31 and Watson is 36. Ronaldo is 36 and still has an engine. I'd still take him.
Would be one hell of a signing in League One. That would pretty much sort out the midfield and we could then aim on getting in a left back and hopefully, another striker.
Arter at this level, well done all for getting that done, seriously impressive.
Was watching Burton v Cheltenham last night... Dont think we'd stand a chance in hell, but remember him facing us last season; Lucas Akins would be a great Aneke replacement

Definitely another striker. We are weak as piss up front at the moment outside Stockley. Need an Arter level signing up top, and also at left back.
I think the squad is lacking right sided Cb cover for Inniss personally but could look at an U23s loan signing from a prem club here.
If he has signed on loan, does anybody know when? Is he eligible for today’s game?
Its not been announced on the OS yet.
So in that case I'd be extremely surprised if we've kept it quiet since midday yesterday.
Fair enough but that's what we have been fed for ages isn't in "lots going on behind the scenes", nice and quiet, so who knows, could all be cleared paperwork wise for today

I’d be happy with him in the championship.. In league 1 I’m over the moon with it.
Also it places Dobson and Clare firmly in the back up part of the squad.
Still not sure why we signed both of them - but I guess we need a squad. Unless Adkins has not been impressed by what he has seen.

Arter will be a great replacement for another energetic left footed centre midfielder who we sometimes forget won our player of the season.

Very similar type of bulldozing player
