Arsenal: Bournemouth Perfect For Wilshere To Recharge
Jack Wilshere has signed for Bournemouth on a season-long loan from Arsenal. Amid a host of other options, it is the ideal place for Wilshere to recharge.
In recent years, the importance of loan deals has grown more and more and the size of the best squads have grown, so much so that the top clubs are now able to loan out players of increasingly high quality to sides in the same league, rather than having to scour down the lower leagues, desperately trying to find a place for their wiry, young winger who lacks both the technical and physical tools to succeed. Arsenal are taking advantage of such a revolution.

The likes of Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri and Juan Cuadrado (in a bizarre three-year loan deal that conveniently runs out as his contract does) have all left their respective clubs on loan on transfer deadline day. That is a caliber of player that is very rarely seen signed on a temporary basis and is an indication of the changing times.

Arsenal are also now in a position of great strength in numbers and have in recent days utilised such strength to provide fringe players with regular playing time away from the Emirates. Calum Chambers signed for Middlesborough where he will likely start at either centre-half or right-back, gaining much needed defensive experience.
The other, more surprising loan departure in recent days was that of Jack Wilshere. The local boy who has long been the face of the Arsenal development program is now no longer in it, having faced the music with an exit to South Coast club Bournemouth. It is somewhat of a coup for a club that has never been in the Premier League before last season and is still considered a small club for the second tier of English football.
However, while the size of Bournemouth may be scoffed at, fans should be cheering the final destination of the now 24-year-old. Under Eddie Howe, a young and enthusiastic coach who has shown great nous and astute management throughout his tenure with the Cherries, Wilshere could well blossom in a system that will now likely revolve around his talents.
He can walk into the club as the best player there – if he can stay fit that is -with full knowledge that Howe has brought him in to be the centrepiece of the side. The boost in confidence that that will give Wilshere is invaluable. He will be number one, the main man, and he’s the type of player who has in the past, excelled when the system focuses on his talents and the responsibility has been placed on his shoulders.

There is still a lot that could go wrong with the move. Injury being the primary worry. However, once it was announced that Wilshere would be allowed to leave, with a host of different options for Arsenal to choose from, they could not have cherry-picked a much better one than Eddie Howe and Bournemouth.
