Shaun Derry: "You look at the history of the player, the calibre of the player - he has played in the Premiership when he had a cracking move from Ipswich to Newcastle and at the time Newcastle were top four or five.

"So I don't think you go to places like that if you are no good. And I know he's been involved in a relegation season, but at the same time he has been a name on a number of Championship managers' lists for the past four or five years.

"He has obviously played for our rivals, but at the same time when good players become available you want to try to get them."
