They've been surprisingly quiet so far. Until today I think their only new face was the goalie they had on loan from Arsenal ? They've tended to leave it late every season since their takeover. I think Okonkwo was their earliest signing yet. They go for the absolute marquee signings from higher up that will likely want to explore their options before committing and/or everyone knows they have lots of money so they may get quoted silly prices (or wages) initially and have to wait it out. Just a guess. Genuinely think their recruitment infrastructure is a bit behind ours too. I think Okonkwo is a very good signing though.

Might be the best for him given what happened the last time he was on a US tour.

I'm sure they'll spend big on a new striker this summer, their frontline does look big on numbers but lacking in quality. Mullin when fit you suspect will do well then Fletcher who only seems capable of cameos (albeit effective ones), Marriott didn't seem to tear up trees for them after signing in January, Palmer whose best days seemed to be behind him even before last season, Sam Dalby who struggled to regularly impact games in the National League, and Billy Waters who is effectively already gone. Oh and their young lad Bickerstaff who I know nothing about. Of those only Mullin and Marriott I'd expect to be starting every week if they were all fit. Edit - and tbh the joke was pretty route one so I don't doubt it's already been made by Wrexham fans

they've been linked with Bradshaw (31) from Millwall Stephen Humphrys (26) from Wigan too. They needed another striker anyway because, as SH said, the rest aren't that impressive. This just amplifies their need for at least one. I doubt this announcement will help them get one at a decent price, clubs and agents will have them over a barrel now. You can guarantee they'll go all out for a signing now though.

They’ve made some panic signings and have wasted a lot of money over the last 24 months.
Billy Waters signed from Barrow. Did nothing and then didn’t even get registered for most of last season.
Jack Marriott was seen as the star signing that would win them the title. He barely got a kick for them.
Parkinson is not a great manager & his style of play is years out of date.

Atleast it's not Chesterfield who are away at Gillingham now a 12.30 kick off and the fun begins and the season hasn,t started yet. Feel this will become an ongoing theme throughout this season. If this season goes the way i,m expecting regarding KO times it might actually be the last one i,ll get a ST for. It will save me a minimum of a 90 mile round trip drive that i detest now and cannot see that getting easier or cheaper. over the coming years

Parkinson is not a great manager He's just won back to back promotions and has a pretty impressive CV prior to Wrexham. Not exactly a bad Manager is he?

Pete O’Rourke reporting that MK are set to sign Liam Kelly from Crawley.
Crawley have well and truly had their team ripped apart haven’t they. Huge job on their hands to replace them and stay up this season.
