He'll almost certainly be the preferred option on the left. Obviously along with being a goal threat, he wants his wingers to be a creative outlet by delivering balls into the box and creating chances. I've mentioned this previously, it's not that Haji necessarily doesn't do that, but as a...

Yeah I think if a CB has excellent IQ and as you say can read the game and anticipate danger well, then pace is somewhat irrelevant. Mertesecker was a good example of this. At the top level he's probably one of the slowest centre backs in existence but his positional sense and general awareness...

Also slapping £7m on Broadhead is categorically awful business. Not to mention that he has a history of recurring hamstring issues.

Wrexham are building a capable midtable Starting XI but as it stands it still needs a huge amount of work. They won't be anywhere near play offs. And as predicted they're having to majorly overspend for what are fairly average players at this level.

£2.5m for Binks and a free for Bauer - DK been drinking some of the SISU Kool-Aid has he?

No chance of that, he was only at Rushden and Diamonds last season. I'd imagine the club will be looking to send him out on loan again this window. Possibly to the NL.

Agreed, unlikely we'd let one out unless another was near completion.

Oh interesting. Thought it'd be the other way around. Suppose people will probably make a more last minute decision with friendlies though. Doesn't help a lot of people are away.

It'll be interesting to see turnout tomorrow. I'd imagine a lot of people will be doing the same. 7pm KO isn't that ideal either.

It definitely wasn't baffling. He had all the markers and attributes to make a quality CB at this level but it just didn't work out. His positioning, awareness and concentration needed a lot of refinement and if anything all three regressed rather than improved. I suspect some of that was...

He's more Dick Van Dyke than Virgil.

He's actually a reasonable defender at this level he just has the athleticism of an asthmatic pensioner which is why he's regularly caught out.

I don't think that's totally fair. Binks showed some promised in his first season while on loan and at the time there was a lot to build on. I can see why he was signed. The problem is he massively regressed and in reality he just doesn't suit Championship football.

A potential consequence of the Gyokeres sale.

Good deal for all parties. I think he's probably one of those which is much better suited abroad than he is to the Championship. He was never going to push on here and clearly struggled.

They didn't pay that for him last summer so why would they now? I really can't see him moving unfortunately.

Valid points but as it stands they still have a squad that's more than capable of reaching the top 6. Granted though, it's a squad that needs freshening up - and as you mentioned one that lacks a real goalscorer now Vardy has gone. Other than a soon to be 34 year old Ayew and Madividi I'm not...

If McGoldrick was 7 years younger he'd be ideal. Someone of his mould really is what we should be looking for.

That relied on a ridiculously good pass by Grimes to unlock the defence in a friendly against a vastly inferior team in all fairness. But yes it's something we do need to do more as we often look terrified to make a forward pass. Fundamentally though, 'better movement' alone isn't going to...

Fundamentally young players improve by getting consistent game time. He isn't likely to get that here given who we have in midfield currently.
