With the depth we have in midfield, loaning Jack out was essential. It's good he's at Bournemouth because there's no way he'd get that 90 minutes at Arsenal.

I'd assume he'd be under a contractual obligation not to refer to his status as an Arsenal player while at Bournemouth—not to mention it just isn't good etiquette.

There's a little rust in Jacks game that can only be fixed with regular game time which he was never going to get here. This is definitely a good move and in hindsight, Bournemouth is the perfect place for him to do that without too much pressure and in the position he needs with a good sensible manager.

Calum Chambers' game by numbers vs. Bournemouth:

100% aerial duels won
86% pass accuracy
8 clearances
4 interceptions
2 tackles won

Had a good game today.

Has there been any match reports on how the Nigerian lad is doing on loan? I know he had finally gotten a start here and there but no report on his performances.

Just watched MOTD. Looked like Wilshere at his best.

I watched the first half and jack looked good. Bournemouth play very good passing football now which is ideal for him.

Eh? He's only started 2 of their last 7 games and got subbed off a half time in one of them. And he's scored less than Ox. And this is in the Portuguese league.

And he's been criticized heavily in the Portuguese press.

Even though i don't think he has a future with us, i thought Campbell did rather well in the Premiership last season.

He did what you could expect from a 3rd choice player, yeah. Its just that last season our 1st and 2nd choice players did worse than him.

You are right and it was unfortunate that a 3rd choice player, as you rate him, was often our best performer on the day but constantly got dropped for non-performing 1st and 2nd choice players. Never heard him moan so i wish him all the best.

Next 2 months is make or break for his season. I was reading an update about his loan spell and apparently Jorge Jesus put him on the LW for most of his games this season where he struggled. They have their most talented player since Nani in Gelson Martins playing on the right, which means his favoured position isn't available most of the time to start in. They couldn't find a position for him in the team so he was on the bench. That has changed after they found him to be a great SS for Dost, he had a MOTM performance last time around. He should start most matches in that position the next few months if it was to be a successful loan. Their fans has been calling for him to start instead of the Jesus's favoured players.

He was heavily criticised in the Portugese press for celebrating a last minute goal he scored in the 95th min against some relegation fodders. Sporting fans was incensed and thought he should have restarted the match immediately.


Wilshere with a MOTM performance yesterday.

Good thing that he won't be able to play next weekend.

We could really use him right now with Caz crocked.

He should be here right now in the form he's in.
