@_MikeVA Then to add in how bad Skenes was first start. I refuse to invest in RP early as well. It’s to much of a circus

Every year I'm reminded on why I don't invest early round draft capital on SP.

@mattbeaumontni @coffeebetz @Jayfuz @neilhay3s True! We shall see! Excited either way for next season. I just get a feeling it’s 7-8 players, all big money and push next two years.
English
@MattSpangle @coffeebetz @Jayfuz @neilhay3s I totally get about planning for where you want to be, acting like we are already there etc.
Just don't see anyone other than Ortega that is an immediate upgrade but he isn't a massive upgrade for sure.
Interesting topic with lots to follow over the summer im sure.
English
Already thinking about how busy of a summer it's going to be at Wrexham
Issa Kabore's loan will end in the summer, with no buy clause included
Andy Cannon, Jay Rodriquez, Aaron James and Ruben Egan's contract will expire
There's quite a lot entering their final contracted year
English
@AWGR_bw I think it will be way more drastic. I think we sign LWB, RWB, 1 CF, 1 GK, CM, and CB. All approaching or breaking our transfer record. I think they’ll push for promotion next year and you’ll need a strong squad. I think Arthur is gone.
English
And as a follow on to my last post, this is what is would do this summer. I have focused on trying not to go over the 25 player squad size. Would like to see us focus on quality not quantity this window. Could look at top U21 talents on loan if wanted to add further bodies
English
@craigyjones17 @_LiamRoberts I 100% agree with this. I think we get a GK option in and Arthur is gone.
English
@_LiamRoberts Ok, as you’re looking for opinions that others would disagree with, here are my initial ones!
I don’t think Parky has full faith in Okonkwo or Ward in goal and will prioritise looking for a better keeper in the summer. I would agree with Parky.
We should be looking at better.
English
Wrexham fans, I need YOUR help 🫵🏻
For an upcoming video, I’ll be reacting to your UNPOPULAR OPINIONS on Wrexham AFC (mainly to do with players) please feel free to add yours in the comments of the post if you’d like to be included in the video
Make them good 👀 #WxmAFC
English
@coffeebetz @Jayfuz @mattbeaumontni @neilhay3s Yes I do. We have a saying called striking while the iron is hot. My guess is ownership is pushing while the marketing and the interest is there and why wouldn’t you! IMO
English
@Jayfuz @mattbeaumontni @MattSpangle @neilhay3s The question was about long-term options. Most of these are already 30+, except Meslier, who will probably have other options anyway. And with Gunn, I’ve only seen him a couple of times and wasn’t too convinced
Do you think it makes sense to plan for the Premier League already?
English
@MByrne94406 @RichWXM I think he stays. He also has a rare buy back clause from MCFC.
English
@RichWXM Agree with all, squad depth quality needs huge improvement and we’re desperate for some youth and pace. I also think Doyle will leave for a Prem team.
English
Retained list will be out soon. Think we'll see a few leave/made available, including:
Rodriguez
Mullin
Revan
Lee
Palmer
Cannon
Faal
Hardie
Coady
Barnett
O'Connor
Burton
Kaboré (loan end)
Although under contract, wouldn't be surprised to see Scarr & Longman made available.
English
@StewartPrit9v3 @RichWXM This. This times 100. They 100% didn’t expect this.
English
@RichWXM You look at the names on that list and the length of the contracts and you can tell the club didn’t expect to be where we are
English
@coffeebetz @MattSpangle @neilhay3s I like Danny Ward. I'm glad he's here. But with all due respect to him, he's very upgradable.
Okonkwo has already played more career club games than him
English
English
@JGEllinson @fearlessidzine @RobRyanRed The top 2 Premiership net spends last summer in the premiership were Ipswich and Brighton. Nobody accused either of trying to buy the league.
English
I'm getting so fed up of 'Wrexham spent £30million and bottled it' so turned to AI to ask what the average cost of a Championship squad was. Ours would work out as one of the lowest value squads in the Championship. Very much punching above our weight. @fearlessidzine @RobRyanRed
English
@coffeebetz @Jayfuz @neilhay3s You have to have a long term goal keeper going into Premier League. Aurthor is not that and Ward is up in age. You wouldn’t go into premier league with either as your GK options.
English
English
@Jayfuz @1445343513 @neilhay3s Ahh. Yeah experience. I get that. Will be valuable moving up the pyramid too.
English
@MattSpangle @1445343513 @neilhay3s I think he's just there to make sure it says that way.
No one at the club at the moment has that type of experience as far as I'm aware. He's also worked at Man United as a finance guy so he should be worthwhile having around.
English
@Jayfuz @1445343513 @neilhay3s What do you think bringing him in means to Wrexham? What actions do you think he takes? I don’t think we are particularly close to spending limits. IMO
English
@1445343513 @MattSpangle @neilhay3s We've just brought in some fella from Birmingham to he chief financial officer, he was there to basically tell them when to pack it in when it comes to spending
English
@ScottMoreton5 Media has their narrative. We aren’t the biggest, didnt spend the most, didn’t underachieve based on transfer. Their heads will explode again when we sign more players. Same ole media narrative based on jealousy.
English
They’ll get automatic promotion next season ibr.
Theyll probs stay up in the prem when they do too.
B/R Football@brfootball
After three consecutive promotions, Wrexham have missed out on the Championship playoffs on the final day 💔
English
Ten years ago today. The most incredible minutes of my reporting life.
Positioned inside the most popular bar in Leicester for LCFC’s moment they win the EPL at 5000/1 odds, as Chelsea’s Eden Hazard ties the game with Tottenham for what became the clincher.
English
@neilhay3s @Jayfuz I wouldn’t be shocked if we sign 20M£ striker. I think we need premier league quality CM too.
English
@MattSpangle @Jayfuz Agree will be a big turnover again, need a really good striker to convert chances. That’s my priority,
English
@Jayfuz @neilhay3s Honestly all out on loan or sold again. I fear we will have another 7-10 in again. Most starters will remain but rest gone. We need LWB, RWB, CB, CM, 2 CF, GK at minimum. I think most will break transfer record too
English
@neilhay3s Worryingly might need 4 wingbacks again. Kabore has no buy agreement, so on the right it's immediately Longman who is a good backup & Barney only.
LWB is ever injured Cacace & fair play to him Thomason
I think Arthur might be getting sold in the summer too.
English
@MrD1by This is what I think as well. This result was probably better than promotion as if we got promoted this year I think we’d go right back down.
English
@Jayfuz I don’t think they ever were pushing in Jan window. It was purely depth and assets they liked. They were going with the team they had basically.
English
Well I did say Hull, Derby & Wrexham would be scrapping it out at the end....but in a relegation battle
Jayfuz (🗣️Rufus, but Jay) 🏴@Jayfuz
Looking at the level of where other championship teams are making signings, Wrexham finishing 1 place would be a gargantuan achievement. As it stands its gonna be a horrible scrap to survive between Wrexham, Preston, Derby, Stole, Charlton & Hull.
