Bournemouth fans insist Jack Wilshere is not as good as Harry Arter as loan move draws closer

Reputation often precedes players.

Footballers backed for huge things at a certain club so frequently flatter to deceive. Jack Wilshere, amid his impending loan move to Bournemouth, is expected to have the quality to comfortably keep the Cherries in the Premier League this season. The Arsenal midfielder was once referred to as "the future of English football" by Barcelona and Spain legend Xavi but has seen his first-team chances limited recently, with only 37 minutes of gametime under his belt this season. He's been unlucky with injuries but will be hoping to kick on for a team in which he'll be under less pressure. And while most Bournemouth supporters are delighted to get an England international in the centre of the park, plenty believe that he will be just the second best midfielder at Eddie Howe's disposal. The first? None other than the Republic of Ireland's Harry Arter. https://twitter.com/LHurlz/status/771019238303797248 https://twitter.com/LucaFavell_/status/771018844785770499 https://twitter.com/JFenners/status/771016520679972864 https://twitter.com/AdiUnited_/status/771013919263432704 https://twitter.com/Miles_chunsk98/status/771013652698791936 https://twitter.com/Jewneeb/status/771010528999116800 https://twitter.com/RobLove95/status/771005805051142144 https://twitter.com/FutbolAndrew/status/771005094582218755 https://twitter.com/Jack_afcb/status/770599450494509057 Read more from SportsJOE:
