Craig Mackail-Smith would have been good addition to Notts squad I think. Some good deals done here though but Vassell to Birmingham is a shock to me as i thought they would have gone for more proven goalscorers but wish him luck.

Managers keep certain players until they can find adequate replacements, if / when these have been found the managers then have the "honest" conversations, which mean you're not wanted so the players come to an agreement (usually 30% of salary left on contract) then they leave for pastures new
