With the signing of Philip Billing looking to be over the line, attention has turned to Harry Arter and the possibility of him heading off to Fulham to join brother-in-law Scott Parker on loan. Harry has played in the full pre-season for AFCB, but with another central midfielder coming to Dean Court, it is clear that Arter sees his future elsewhere, and with Fulham being a London club, it works out well for him and his family who have been living in London over the last year.
The Daily Mail has judged that Arter is worth £8m and that AFCB would sell, but Fulham would have to sell other players to buy Arter, so a loan deal is most likely. While Bournemouth have sold a few players this summer there is less need to bring in cash for every player and with Arter not being part of the clubs plans for more than a year, having spent a year on loan at Cardiff, he looks to be running out his contract on loan.
Playing with the number 88 shirt this season was one thing that brought a smile to fans faces this summer. Arter loves his number eight which he had at AFCB for many seasons before Jefferson Lerma took it last summer. The midfielder might get it back at a new club, but played with the number seven shirt at Cardiff last year.
It has at least been good to see Arter running in his usual industrial style again over some of the pre-season games. His performances are still very high and it has been like a long goodbye for fans. Time will perhaps be up though on his AFCB career this week.
In other news, Philip Billing joined AFCB yesterday and is the third signing this summer.

However, there is said to be interest from Stoke City which is an intriguing twist. AFCB had signalled an interest in Jack Butland but didn't come to an agreement on a transfer fee. Could a deal for After be done whereby that was taken off the valuation for Butland? Sheffield United and Cardiff City are also thought to be interested in AFCB's old number eight.

Is A shame to see Harry go. Be a gd player over the yrs. We know hard and seeing players come and go. Guess we think at times. What that football club doing selling so and so for.We see and know how hard it is to be and stay in premier and move forward as well to win both bigger things. When ever u go Harry thanks and the best whatever u play for in the future.
