    As it stands, that's a midtable squad in my book.

    10th tops.

    RB, CB, CM, WG still needed imo.

    Would need to shift 2 or 3 on though.

    Aiden McGeady anyone? Contract expires End of this month. 36 years old, bags of experience.

    Hibs reportedly interested, but maybe our former Sunderland man can have a word.

    Dont see it personally. Dion wants the move back and based on what Hughes has said we are prepared to wait a bit on their decision.

    A step too far ? 5 years older than Smallwood…….I know where I would invest in all honesty.

    I see the Matt Derbyshire rumour as a Charlie Adam one. Ex Hughes player with a bit of name value. Nothing more.

    Cant see that happening in all honesty. Well not keen anyway....

    Still team building I would say we are ahead of the opposition on that looking at other teams in league two

    Isn't Derbyshire about 56 years old now!

    Havimg looked at the rest of the league we are way ahead of everyone in terms of recruitment numbers.

    Walsall, Crewe, Stevenage and Rochdale have done bits. Other than that nobody stands out whatsoever.

    Agreed. And of the signings that have been made, there's none so far that have left me feeling disappointed we haven't got them.

    I didnt see a single name. Although ive always been a Bostwick fan. Stevenage got a good player therr but he wrong side of 30 now. Ebanks Landell may have been ok...

    True, but I think Smallwood still has some football left in him at a higher level. Would be a real klaxon if he comes to us.
    Gary Jones was around 36 years old when he came to us. Didn’t turn out too bad!

    Yes, but for one season. He was already fading quite markedly during our first season back in L1. Smallwood, at 31, would be a coup

    Yeah, Landell is a decent signing and if there weren't the strong rumours about Odusina, I might be thinking he's one we've missed out on.

    Sign him up for one season then. Let’s face it, this season is all about promotion, next season is about signing players to build on that.

    But 5 subs per game makes a huge difference to tactics on match day.

    It sounds like Smallwood, if confirmed, is on a very good package for L2, so don’t think there will be much more room for any more marquee signings.
