It also helps when you can belt the ball 50 yards to an animal up top who will chase after it.
In his last Championship season he did best on the ball, in the top 25% of the division for pass accuracy and completed long passes. He was also in this for tackles won and interceptions, but around the middle of the pack for winning duels on the ground and in the air.Away from the performative dramatics, do any of the stat lovers have one of those nice little graphs on Woolfenden to tell us what we might be getting? One from his last season in Champ and one from his season in the Prem might be interesting. I would look myself but everything i find looks like you have to pay for this data.
Thanks in advance.
So by your rigid set of principles we should be bidding £20M for Hughes as Hull say that's what he's worth ?It is if his club value him at £12m
wouldn't want them at the price they have paid for them
Thing is, i get why people like a foreign signing, its the unknown isn't.. like Asante as a CB target, could be shit, could be one of the best in the league. Who the fuck knows. But you have to have a balance, sometimes its just good to know what you're getting, especially at centre back. If we can get him for a good price its a solid addition for us.In his last Championship season he did best on the ball, in the top 25% of the division for pass accuracy and completed long passes.

Been around a while as broke into their first team at a young ageDidn't realise Woolfenden was only 26. For some reason had him down as closer to 30.
Wrexham must be the first club in history to agree to a buy back potentially worth less than they paidLooks to be £7.5 million
Are people not happy with Woolfenden? He looks a good signing to me, ticks boxes that people were crying out for.
Squad yes. First team? Doyle probably the rest doubtful given the current line up.Callum Doyle
Lewis O'brien
Nathan Broadhead
Keiffer Moore
All get in our squad tbf
I think the club played themselves with people on here. Most people were saying we should buy an experienced CB, as i said before Woolfenden is experienced without being old which is ideal... but the club had to go and bid on Hughes who is one of the outstanding young CBs in the league with potential to go even higher, so having seen that bid people suddenly changed their expectations.Are people not happy with Woolfenden?

Ideally we get centre backs in who are strong in the air, strong in the tackle, quick and have excellent passing range. Such players cost bigger money than we have and don't tend to stay long in the Championship, so you need to make compromises.Thing is, i get why people like a foreign signing, its the unknown isn't.. like Asante as a CB target, could be shit, could be one of the best in the league.

Nor were we last year, but we still made the playoffs.I wouldn’t. And they aren’t exactly off to a flier are they.
Are you angry that we didnt take a low offer for MvE? Should we have just said yes to the highest bidder regardless of what that bid was?You’re missing my point.
Doug and Dean sit down last season and decide were going to sell Milan. Well first we should see if anyone is out there who might pay £10m for a RB outside the PL and if so what other options are on the market. Basically is this a thing that’s actually going to happen or not? We aren’t taking him to CEX we need an interested buyer and that kind of deal takes months to finalise. If there were no serious buyers sniffing at the start of the summer it’s time for plan B.
But again if we were hanging everything of a big sale why the bids for players? We’ve clearly got money but feel the squad is too big maybe, so why extend Eccles Allen Bidwell and Wilson who are all nowhere near the first team?
It’s shit management decision after shit management decision I’m sorry. An no I don’t accept Lampard just doesn’t want to sign anyone.
Ipswich fans have quickly forgotten all the players who shot them to a double promotion with a 96 point Championship total then. This has allowed them to get to the point where they shop in a different market to us i'm afraid, you think we could buy either of the 2 that start ahead of him?Just on what @shmmeee was asking earlier, I spoke to my mate who’s an Ipswich fan about Woolfenden and he said “He’ll be alright for you guys, bit inconsistent and would be more of a bench option for us but he’s solid enough. Only decent at the right price though.” So to me that seems like a polite way of saying he’s alright but nothing amazing. Also, if Ipswich are happy to ditch a player to a top 6 rival then he can’t be that amazing, mixed feelings on Woolfenden atm.
They dont want to sell him to anyone, but rumour has it he wants to go to get more playing time.Just on what @shmmeee was asking earlier, I spoke to my mate who’s an Ipswich fan about Woolfenden and he said “He’ll be alright for you guys, bit inconsistent and would be more of a bench option for us but he’s solid enough.

Give me the combined cost of those players.
Why would he want to come here to be on the bench? Hes doing that where he is.They dont want to sell him to anyone, but rumour has it he wants to go to get more playing time.
He's a good option to have on the bench, but so was Binks, so I wouldn't pay much more than what we got for Binks.
I certainly wouldn't pay £4m+
There's cheaper options out there.

They can afford better than him, we probably can't.Not saying we can or can’t, just simply stating what my mate told me. Seems like they’re happy to get rid of Woolfenden, I can only assume they think he’s sort of average, which is backed up by what my mate said (and he’s not a glory-hunting lunatic like some Ipswich fans).
Well they've altered their ambitions on signings, 100s of millions of pounds will do that. From our point of view he was a first team regular for a top 2 team 2 seasons ago... that's not 'average' by Championship standards.Not saying we can or can’t, just simply stating what my mate told me.

I don't think Doyle would suit our system, he's not the quickest or best a turning so that left hand side of him and JDS would be interesting when we push the line up the field.That's a different issue to the quality of the players. I would have loved us to get Callum Doyle in but I wouldn't want him on the terms of Wrexham's deal. That said, if Wrexham's plan to throw whatever money it takes to get promotion bears fruit I think they will be more than happy.
For the general well-being of the club I still prefer DK's approach. I reckon he is our best owner/chairman since Derrick Robins.
Always did better in a back three. Happy for him. Maybe we’ll have a sell onI think we should have a look at this Binks chap who plays for Brondby. He was the outfield player of the match in the Europa Conference League match against Strasbourg:

He's probably just what we need.
cool story, it's bollocks as the indications they want to keep him but he wants to leave for more footballNot saying we can or can’t, just simply stating what my mate told me.

Only six more days for VardyVardy, Fulham Winger and Woolfy wouldnt be bad.
He's too cultured for the championship. Over the years we have had players who were just too good for us. Gillespie, Keane, Pearce, Wallace, Yorath. For different reasons they had to move on and Binks, I believe, will be one of them. it wouldn't surprise me if he does the same as Viktor and develops abroad (I know Binks has done so before) and in a couple of years where he is constantly playing European football comes back to a high end premiership club.I think we should have a look at this Binks chap who plays for Brondby.
