DERBY County have signed Stoke City's Ryan Shotton on loan with a view to a permanent deal.

The 25-year-old is a versatile defender-cum-midfielder.

He has a year to run on his contract at Stoke where he has made 69 appearances and scored twice.

Standing at 6ft 3in, Shotton plays as a right-back and has also figured in midfield, although Derby might also see him as a centre-back. He possess a long throw-in.

He goes straight into the squad for tomorrow's Capital One Cup tie against Charlton Athletic.

Really happy with this.

Pretty confident Ibe will sign this week as well. If he does then we have a very very strong squad. Infact one of the strongest squads we have had in a long time.

The Ipswich game we could have this :-

Grant, Christie, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth, Eustace, Bryson, Hendrick, Ward, Martin, Russell.

Subs:- Roos, Shotton, Mascarell, Hughes, Ibe, Best, Dawkins

That is a brilliant squad. With options everwhere.

I cant get Whitbread, Naylor, Freeman etc on my bench.

I have read the comments and I'm still unsure about whats he been signed as... From his interview he doesn't sound like he thinks he's here as a utility/ back up, so I wonder where he's gonna play, cos I'm not sure either what his best position is ..? Sounds like good cover for a couple of positions, but that would mean he's on the bench unless someone is injured ? I guess we'll see
