Said earlier on in the thread that i guess this means we won't be going for Lowery or Dempsey but i hope that isn't the case.
Whilst Arter is a good signing, i thought that we as a club would be moving away from loan signings which therefore mean recycling 4-5 of the first team every summer. Lowery and Dempsey are both decent players who would be cheap and if they did well would give TS a good profit, so i think that's still something he needs to look at.
But absolutely no complaints this week, Lee and Arter are quality signings.

Just for the record, we haven’t actually signed Arter yet, have we?
Not as excited over Arter as most. Played one minute since February, and loaning a 31 yo from a struggling Forest isn't the sort of business I'd hoped we'd be doing.
Arter from a few years back, in league one, would be absolutely mustard. I hope he's still got it.
Having Arter is a positive move to have depth in the squad. Competition for places is good. Also as Arter is an older player his home club will be less bothered if he doesn't play every week. I definitely prefer bringing in experienced players than loaning in young players to develop for other clubs, who contractually have to play a certain number of games.
Who on earth are you expecting us to sign in League 1? Some of you who going on so much about Lowry, Dempsey etc saying you’d rather them when you have seen them play 1-2 times.
Arter is a good signing in a position we are extremely weak in. We have played 4 games and our midfield has lost nearly every battle. We need a player like this to get a grip of the game. Morton, Dobson, Clare are most certainly not going to do that!
Re: Arter's age, Gallen said that we would look to bring in a few experienced players as well. It's not just going to be all young'uns.
Also, I would be surprised if his legs are gone at 31 years old.
Gunter was only 31 when he came in, and is only 5 months older than Arter, and it can be argued that he's declined significantly from his peak
I don't think Gunter's legs have gone. He's just been shit.
And will Arter be shit just because Gunter has been?
The real question will be whether he's lost his motivation and is just playing out his final years, or he's gunning to play football again after being frozen out at Forest. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

What other explanation for a player of Gunter's pedigree being substandard can there be other than physical degradation? He's gained more experience, had more training. Short of getting the yips (which isn't really documented in football aside from in strikers), how could Gunter, once of Spurs, be hapless in League One if his legs haven't gone and he's trying to make up for it and failing?

You're intelligent enough to come up with some other reasons without me helping!
