Dean Saunders is hopeful of adding experienced Premier League duo Pascal Chimbonda and El-Hadji Diouf to his Doncaster squad in the coming days.[LNB]The former Wales striker saw his new charges pick up their fourth point from his second game in charge in the 1-1 draw with Hull, and is now looking to recruit some fresh faces as he looks to move Rovers off the bottom of the npower Championship table.[LNB]Rovers now have five points and were watched from the stands by former Wigan and Tottenham full-back Chimbonda, who is a free agent after being released by QPR.[LNB]Saunders has also held talks with Senegal international Diouf, a reported target of Wigan, having been released by Blackburn earlier in the season.[LNB] Twin targets: Diouf (left) and Chimbonda[LNB]'I spoke to him (Chimbonda) before the game and will speak to him afterwards,' Saunders said, after watching Simon Gillett cancel out Martyn Waghorn's opener.[LNB]'I haven't discussed the ins and outs but he's obviously interested or he wouldn't be here. To sign a player like him at this club would be brilliant. He's gone for millions and millions in his career and it would be brilliant.[LNB]'I will discuss with him what he wants to do. He looks fit and is a class player and if I could get him in he would make such a difference to the whole club."[LNB]On Diouf, Saunders added: 'I'm hopeful it might happen. When it appeared on television yesterday I thought other clubs would have come out of the woodwork and it looks like that might have happened.[LNB]'I did speak to him. I want to get some players in. Players like that don't come around very often and if we do get them, they'll be short-term, probably benefiting us and them.'[LNB] Doncaster 1 Hull 1: Saunders' unbeaten start continues at RoversDiouf weighing up his options as Wigan and Doncaster make move for forwardDoncaster 1 Crystal Palace 0: Saunders enjoys instant success as Rovers end dismal run[LNB]
