    Personally think we pulled the trigger on signing Alli too early 






    Too early? We should never have signed him at all. Nowhere near Championship standard. Even Fevrier would have been better, and he was not great.
    So you made that judgement on what ??? He looks a very tricky winger who showed last week like Grant yesterday he can cross a ball and create chances … 
    Blimey i’m agreeing with Colin (RM) . Wonders will never cease

    The argument of whether to sell/loan between JRC and Doc is an interesting.  JRC is more skilled on the ball but not as good defensively than Doc.  My initial reaction is NJwould want the the more defense minded mid but given the lineup yesterday, maybe he thinks between Ouma and potentially Sichenje that we have enough defensive cover.

    Could someone not just phone up and bloody ask him!? This endless "he's on....", "no he's not!" is doing my melon in.

    And whilst we're at it can't we drop the "per week" crap. This isn't the 1970's with brown wage packets on a Friday. Why cant footballers salaries be expressed as an annual salary like 99% of the working population.......esp when they are earning millions.

    Maybe Edward’s is further away from fitness than we think and will be sacrificed from the squad naming, giving him the opportunity to come back into the squad in the next window.

    Would be an incredibly demoralising thing to do to him, highly doubt it will happen

    Okonkwo signed for Wrexham when they were in league one after a successful loan (in league two). Even with the money they throw at players, surely his wages aren't crazy high?
    Suppose what he was on at the club he was on loan from, which I believe he had a silly contract for a young goalkeeper. So maybe true.

    Agree even with a promotion wage hike I would be surprised if he’s on any more than 10k
    I would guess he’s somewhere between 10 and 20. Wrexham were paying L1 wages to players they deemed worth it while in the NL. That and him coming from Arsenal means I wouldn’t be surprised if he was on 9/10k in L1 and then had a 20% bump on promotion
    I believe he is on a bit more than me, but then I am not going to say what I earn so keep guessing for what it is worth as you will probably never know for certain.
    So what is the point of this conversation 🤔

    I think it’s a distant one now but Holsgrove is not involved in the Estoril squad again today.
    Let it go mate

    I'd get rid of Doc, Asiimwe, JRC, Carey (high 6 figures, as with Kanu) Burke & Knibbs. Possibly minor fees.That leaves us with 4 CDMs and I'd buy a ten from Huddersfield or abroad (Holsgrove?). Keeper in and out and JRS for £2m.
    A ten from abroad. Simple really

    Don’t know where this Okonkwo on 20k has come from. He signed when they were in League One. Someone posted something the other day that stated he earned the least of their four keepers on 5k pw hence why he wanted a move. The fact is no one really knows what he earns but I’d wager 20k is way wide of the mark.
    Rich Cawley said on his podcast that the salary he has heard Onkonkwo is on would make him by far our highest earner
    Interesting. I trust Rich more than anyone, all I heard was that he was closer to higher League 1 wages than upper Championship.

    Either way, we are interested in him definitely from what I have heard.
    Can’t imagine AO being on anywhere near TK’s wages. TK has come from (fairly recently) The Prem, AO from Lge 1. I saw this the other day which would suggest his wages are the lowest of the Wrexham keepers….. but who knows?!?

    With Kelman coming back with Mbick, I'd let Godden go for money. L1 is his level.
    This manager lark is a piece of cake...🤦‍♂️

    Really hope this is meant to be ragebait, I understand football is about a game of  opinions, but some opinions just really don’t deserved to be had

    I can’t work them out. This reads as total rage bait but part of me thinks they also genuinely believe this

    Sorry, who of those would you keep and why? How many starters in my list?

    I think you had people going, until you said high 6 figures for Carey and selling our two most proven goal scorers at this level.

    Carey for high six figures with 8 goals from midfield in the championship? 😂

    Carey started yesterday & the cup win (and scored) last week.

    JRC came on yesterday. 

    Holsgrove will cost too much

    And you can probably doubt the fee for JRS 

    Apart from that you're all good 🙄

    Don’t apologise mate, we all write dumb things occasionally.

    Official bid has gone in according to the other site. I personally think he'd be a vast improvement. I wonder if Ouma is a loan to enable us to bring him in on a perm.

    I'll keep it brief.
    I've heard/read the same as everyone else.
