Jack Wilshere today completed a loan move from Arsenal to Bournemouth.

But one Arsenal fan predicted the move would happen - lats June. Tom Gordon, posting under the Twitter name @GoonerGordo (giving some clue to his club allegiances), wrote on June 27th 2015 "Wilshere is joining Bournemouth". https://twitter.com/GoonerGordo/status/614801274463219712 Now, call that incredible foresight, call it spooky, or simply call it what it is, which is a lucky guess, it's still a bit weird. And it still impressed some of his followers when it came to pass today: https://twitter.com/TheGunnersWay/status/771086199721168897 https://twitter.com/Goonerette_7/status/771085542591258625 And then the inevitable: https://twitter.com/Jonny_Phang/status/771089135176130560 Bournemouth chief executive Neil Blake said: "Jack is a fantastic addition to the club. "He is a player that needs no introduction and one that, quite rightly, our supporters will be excited to see in a Bournemouth shirt. "He will bring a wealth of international and Premier League experience, so we are delighted to be able to welcome a player of his calibre to the club." Wilshere has spent his entire professional career at Arsenal, save for a short loan spell in 2010 under then-Bolton boss Owen Coyle. He has played 157 games for the club but has struggled with injuries, restricting his first team action, hence the need for a loan switch. The new GAA Hour football podcast is here.
