We bid 7 million for Hughes so clearly we could have matched the bid, they probably offered more wages
We bid 7 million for Hughes so clearly we could have matched the bid, they probably offered more wagesThey have the Disney boys ploughing in money that we can't. If money were no object as it clearly is for them, different story
£3.5m on a backup?
Well thats the thing. If MVE was on his way out I could understand it but he's not.
£10m on Broadhead was utterly laughable - He is shite and had just one year left on his deal, must be a decimal point missing somewhereWrexham going to spunk a lot of money to still be a pretty shite team. Their transfer strategy so far has been absolutely honking tbh.
Well the confusion is we spent £4m on a backup RB but we currently have Bidwell as a backup LCB
That's if we were ever seriously in for Doyle. If we were bidding a similar amount for Hughes, it's unlikely we were in for both players.We bid 7 million for Hughes so clearly we could have matched the bid, they probably offered more wages
To bring in an old head we would have to revert to a back 5 to accommodate him. When we have Fadz in between McNally and Doyle we admittedly conceded very few goals but I cant see Frank reverting to thatThe thing is if we sign a Hughes or Doyle for £10 million we have to play them, they can't sit on the bench, which begs the question, are they better than what we have?
Obviously not if Thomas is attracting Burnley and Brentford (premiership teams) and Doyle and Hughes are not attracting that kind of team, so why sell Thomas if he is better than them?
I always think a good yard stick on assessing a person's level is if they are out on loan, and then the loan finishes, does the club want to buy them, for Doyle, where it is said he made his biggest impact was with us, Leicester and Norwich where he was also on loan aren't interested in him, so he hasn't made significant progress.
OUTCOME - keep Thomas and bring in an old head like Fadz who can teach the players we already have. i am sure there are quite a few mature CB in the championship who can come and be back up for a season.
Bassette will come good. Not sure what the issue is to freeze him out atm
£15-20 million if premier league clubs are in for Hughes, less if it's just championship clubs.….. and if we sell Thomas to a Prem club for £15 million what does that do to Hull’s £20 million valuation of Hughes? Asking for our recruitment department.
What? We have Perry and Bidwell
Coady 5 years ago maybe, he's well gone nowI'd be happy with their CB pairing of Coady and Doyle.
They're in relegation form alreadyWrexham are not getting relegated.

If Doyle is available for £8m then we clearly either don’t want him or don’t think he’s worth the money.
I like what little I have seen of Perry but I don't think he's ready yet. We need battle-hardened CBs if we want to make a serious push for promotion.
Big odds to go down too. Its a tempted!They're in relegation form already
No link at all just fan talk, would have thought we might have been thoughHas there actually been a proper link to Doyle for us? I'm not counting that one that linked about a million teams including Norwich which was quickly rubbish by the local Norwich press?
They'll all played a lot more first team games though.Not always, I remember Gary Gillespie and Phil Babb coming in. Both quickly became two of the best defenders we ever had. Stuart Pearce came in from non league and didn't look out of place in top flight.
you'd attack Coady with pace wouldn't youCoady 5 years ago maybe, he's well gone now

turning circle of supertanker these days
Ah yes...I see that you know your Judo wellHe’s joined Wrexham just for enjoying a meal? A succulent American-Italian meal?
Think we’ll sign 1 cb maybe, that forward from Denmark looks class too, would be a big statement to get him inIts starting to look like we arn’t signing anyone
why?Its starting to look like we arn’t signing anyone
Let’s not kid ourselves into thinking the clock isnt ticking though, you’d hope this week someone comes inwhy?
Did you know anything about us bidding for Hughes before we did? At that stage we'd made 2 bids for him.
got 2 weeks of the window so no need to worry yet, no need to worry until after the window is shutLet’s not kid ourselves into thinking the clock isnt ticking though, you’d hope this week someone comes in
We were never seriously considering Doyle. I believe he was on the list, but got struck off weeks ago. Here are the clues:That's if we were ever seriously in for Doyle. If we were bidding a similar amount for Hughes, it's unlikely we were in for both players.
They broke our transfer record to sign Nathan Broadhead, they're operating in a different financial reality to us.
How many do you think we’ll get in? I do worry with it getting so close we could end up getting priced out of a hughes dealgot 2 weeks of the window so no need to worry yet, no need to worry until after the window is shut
I’m very confident 2 more come in, a centre half a versatile attacker.How many do you think we’ll get in? I do worry with it getting so close we could end up getting priced out of a hughes deal
