Similar to Hart I'd say fair play to him. A good signing for Bournemouth and he gets to play for a hardworking footballing side under a promising English manager.
Plus if you've got injury problems and you're not first choice then you can end up almost never playing for one reason or another.I'd be delighted if I were a Bournemouth fan. Massive boost to the club. Bags of talent but injuries preventing him from showing it.
He goes to Milan and makes an impact he has restored his reputation, if it doesn't work he will still be highly regarded in England, same with Roma. He goes to Bournemouth and does well it impresses no-one because he's playing for a team happy to avoid relegation.
Turning down Roma and AC Milan to play for Bournemouth seems bizarre on paper. He probably thought he wouldn't get a lot of games at Milan with all the midfield players they have. He could have gone to Roma though. It would have been good for him to also be away from the English press. Another English player turns down the opportunity to play abroad when the chance arises. Strange.
To be fair, if I were him I would do the same.Another English player who pussies out of playing abroad.
In fairness how many times have we collectively said on here that loanees are better off playing in the PL if possible rather than in, say, Serie A?Another English player who pussies out of playing abroad.
