He'd add good depth to the midfield given Sidwell doesn't seem close to a return and looks like good value available due to contract running out in a few months.
If he's only valued at 2/3m as reported, this could be decent actually. Can play CM and RM, which are two areas that we could do with more depth in. Very workman-like player which Hughton demands from his squad. If we're on a budget after the (hopefully) striker signing I wouldn't say no
Phew. At last, the top flight quality striker with pace, we’ve desperately sought since Easter.
A big well done to Bloom and Winstanley for solving the striker issue.
I doubt Burnley will be selling any members of the first XI for £2m. Especially as it's a position where (thanks to Brady's injury) we have no depth at all.
This we have as much chance of getting Arfield as you had of getting Stephens.

Big fan of Scotty and he represents a lot of what Dyche has done for the club. He was a free signing from Huddersfield who really improved under Dyche. I'm not so sure he's as effective as a CM though, his best work is from out wide, usually cutting in from the left.
The only reason I can see him going is that he wants a 2/3 year contract minimum and we aren't keen to offer that to a player in his role who has just turned 29.
