Smith wasn't on offer as a loan though was he. We would have to commit to buying him. McBean might not cost us hardly anything as Galaxy might be paying his wages.
RCC, Stokes, Stevenson, Harries, Willis and Ponticelli are the ones who seem to have potential. But it is only potential.

The Burton side was built on several seasons of progress, not a succession...
A foot in type player who can break up play and then distribute with simple passing.
