lol you can trawl though as many old threads as you want its not going to make your point anymore relevant.....like i said you really needn't go though all that trouble .....you only had to look though this thread to see that he was in and out of the team....he wasn't completely dropped at any stage.....he started that game against Brighton and it was only after that game when he expressed a desire to leave that he was dumped......youth team players were getting promoted to the bench instead of him.
Surely what he says is perfectly relevant. Arter was dropped because he was well off form. Eddie gave him loads of chances but his form didn't improve. The player wanted out because he knew it wasn't working. If Eddie gave up on him it's because he knew, despite giving him loads of chances, that it just wasn't going to happen for Arter at AFCB after that. Player and manager had both come to that realisation.
I don't think any blame whatsoever can be laid at Eddie's door after you’ve heard Arter's side of the story. It's all very sad but he simply didn't deserve a place in the side after that.
