Arfield would be the sort of player (like Barr, and Naismith) it's worth taking a punt on because of their potential sell-on value. I feel we have to bring through our own stars though, as from such players point of view they might feel that there's little point in those players moving to another SPL club to further their development, when they can stay put and get another season or two under their belt, then the championship or even Premiership.
Interesting quote today from Hughes saying he is unsure whether the young players, in the context of his expectations of where he wants to take Hibs, are good enough to do it.

I think we'll see some moved out on loan and I'd expect the remainder to get maybe a year or two and if they haven't made it they'll be out too.

Maybe one or two will stay to be sold on in 3 to 4 yrs.

I did take it from Hughes comments that to move on as a club we need to be bringing in better players, in the short term at least, and I'd expect some action probably on transfer window day, where we pay cash for a couple of players.
