I read it as only if he can move players on?

Big question is who will replace Bodin in Jan?

In a recent interview dc said something like "we will need to move players out to bring some in"
I noticed it because previously he talked of keeping some budget behind for january.

Wish fans would get off individual players backs

Another player from the Northern League Premier Division that i reckon could play at a higher level is the 22-year-old former Derby County youngster Andy Dales. He has played for Mickleover Sports for the past few years, being named their Young Player of the Year in 2014 followed by the player of the year award in 2015 and was instrumental in helping them achieve promotion during the 14/15 season, also being named the Evo-stik Division One South Young Player of the Year. He can play on either wing or an attacking midfield role and is decent with both feet. So far during 17/18 he has scored 9 goals, created numerous assists and impressed again. Worth scouting and a look in a development squad game IMHO.

Hi Pirate can you think of a few older heads who could add some leadership and strength to the team who might be affordable in January - you know the positions: central defender, defensive midfield and wide midfield/ winger? 

There aren't many I can think of off the top of my head in this country, but the winger Whitely at Dag&Red is still someone I'd like us to get. Wide midfielder/winger Jack Barmby isn't an "older head" as such, but impressed me in the past - he's out of contract on 31.12.2017. 6ft 2in, CB, Israel Puerto would be quality and would suit the game in this country, whether he would be affordable or want to move is another matter - he's out of contract in the summer. The same for 28-year-old, 6ft 7in, CB, Jannik Löhden. I would've gone in for Jay Spearing, but he's at Blackpool now. Allesandro Mastalli is a class act who can play as a defensive midfielder, whether he would be interested or affordable I'm not sure. It's hard to really say looking in from the outside without knowing who is potentially available or what sort of money we have to spend.

Edit: Centre back Sam Hughes is only 20, but would be a good option on loan from Leicester if available.

30-year-old centre back Matthew Connolly isn't getting game time at Cardiff, perhaps he would be available in January?

Kortney Hause is a quality CB not getting game time at Wolves, I wonder if he would also be available for loan?

Dorian Dervitte is another good CB not playing much, if he could be tempted on loan from Bolton it would be an excellent signing.

Players currently without clubs: Niall McGinn, Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, Chris Eagles, Nigel Reo-Coker, Chris Malonga, Jerome Thomas, Miles Addison, Kelvin Wilson, Joel Ekstrand.
