Whats not true about it?....i couldn't read that article btw.....i do remember an article in which Harry said he went in and told Eddie after the Brighton game that he thought that it was time for him to move on....Eddie wasn't best pleased and Harry didn't a single minute for us after that ......that's undeniably true.
Selected quotes:
"I remember coming back to pre-season having just signed a four-year deal,” says Harry Arter, recalling the summer when he began to question his future at Bournemouth.
“I didn’t come back in a good place, mentally. I didn’t want to be in the town. I didn’t really want to be at the club. I wasn’t myself.
“Eddie Howe couldn’t work out why. He was probably looking at me thinking, ‘What’s going on? You’ve just signed a four-year deal’. It was a lot of money the club had invested. It was a contract to say, ‘You’re going to end your career here’.
“I was not a particularly nice person to be around,” he admits. “I remember in pre-season, after I signed my deal, Eddie pulled me aside and was like, ‘What is wrong with you?’ I was like, ‘No, nothing is wrong’. I thought he was picking on me. And then we started the season and I wasn’t at it. It was so unlike me, and I didn’t realise why. I genuinely didn’t have any sort of conscious feeling towards it.
“I didn’t put it down to grief at all.”
Unknown to Arter, grief had consumed him. “I didn’t start the season particularly well,” he says. “I remember Eddie pulled me aside before we travelled to Everton, and he said, ‘You are not in the squad this weekend’. I had played the week before.
“That was it for me. I felt I could use that as an excuse to why I was down, and moaning. From that point, I never recovered my Bournemouth career.
“I wouldn’t say he gave up on me, but I don’t think he wanted to push me anymore. Our relationship became a little bit distant.
“But I just wanted a fresh start. I needed to be around my family, I needed to move away from a town that just filled me and my partner with sadness, to be honest. And we wanted to give our little one (Raine) a fresh start somewhere else.”
