[Albion] Scott Arfield

[HastingsSeagull]

Would be a very solid pick up at OUR price. But you know every time he decides he'd rather come here, one of those muppet clubs like them up the road will kick in more and more money till he's poor value. Will then follow the money and rot somewhere rather than being part of a core group.

Back in training according to last weeks Argus

Missed that, good news. Although will presumably need a month or so of U23 games to get some match sharpness back I guess.

I think most people would have missed it...towards the end of this article..talks about him targeting a mid Jan ‘return’..i’ll take that with a pinch of salt

Interesting point. At 29, he is not old and 2/3 years would only bring him up to 32. I could understand it if he was in his 30s now.

Scotty's style revolves around his workrate, he's not the greatest passer of the ball but he's quick and works very hard. I'm speculating but getting older will impact on this more than other parts of his game thus having more of a detriment. From what I've read he has been offered a contract at Burnley but not signed it, I sense he'll want the longest contract he can get and perhaps Burnley aren't offering this (or his agent is trying to see what else is there as an option or leverage).

There was a club comment last week that Sidwell expected to be available for the 4th round cup game. I must admit that I thought at the time that it might not be an option for us, but now we're through.........

We are, allegedly, after another defender too in case you hadn't noticed, Baldock is back too Jesting aside I really like Baldock, will be good to see if he can crack it in the Premier League, positive comeback against Palace imo

I’ve always rated SB. Pace and direct on goal ... possibly the only striker we’ve had in the Amex 8 years of that type.

Could this pave the way for Arfield? (in case you can't be bothered to click, Aaron Lennon is on his way to Burnley)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football...dnt signing Lennon have been a better choice.

Wouldnt signing Lennon have been a better choice.

Not really, he's a one trick pony with his trick being sprinting down the flank in a straight line and putting in a cross, with varying degrees of success

That would be an improvement

 

[LamieRobertson]

That would be an improvement

Perhaps put in bold the varying degrees of success and perhaps it wouldn’t be an improvement
