I would say the vast majority on X were saying he's been solid for them and always fights for the jersey ect.Quote:

Fletcher released by Wrexham. He sure speaks highly of his time there. 'Most magical club I've ever played for'.
Sounds like he was on a downer when arrived. Glad he got some joy.Quote:

I think you're wrong about that. The guy was going through some difficult times a couple of years back and the move to Wrexham has been a real lifeline for him. I've seen him talk about this before and there's no question he utterly loves it there.Quote:

Even at his peak he'd more often than not try to get the ball on to his left before getting a shot away, by which time the chance had become harder.
He didn't have too bad a career for a one foot wonder, eh? :greengrinQuote:

Their rise up the leagues is certainly magical, so from that point of view being part of that story and the Hollywood stardust behind it that generated worldwide publicity for the club is no doubt something truly memorable in his personal football journey.Quote:

Dalby has left Wrexham. Might be an option?
Dalby based on this season would be a brilliant signing
Think he’d really suit our style of play. Sort of player that would compliment Boyle and Nicky Cadden really well
You just hope it’s not a one season wonder and he can replicate this form, don’t think he’s had a prolific season before this or even close to it

I think in January someone posted his goals to games ratio or goals to minutes ratio, and it was only slightly poorer than his record in the first half of this season with Dundee Utd, but the caveat was that he’d not played loads of matches each season, so although the ratio was decent, he’d just not had much time on the pitch - could be talking absolute mince though ��
Definatley going to need some new fire power in the forward areas
I know he's scored goals and strikers are judged on that but I genuinely don't think he's even that good. He's got no pace. I know loads of people rate the guy so It's probably just me 🤣Quote:

See I thought the first game at Tannadice before he started scoring goals he was a bit of a handful and a good target manQuote:

Just think we’ll be looking for a target man and he’d be a good option based on the past season
Tbh Dalby looks to me a Yam identikit centre forward.Quote:

If Del formally of Rugby Park, manages to retain Shankland, his general formation is 433. So maybe no room for DolbyQuote:

Monetised rather than magical, though credit to any long term Wrexham fan and am sure they are enjoying things these last few years.Quote:

I'm with you on this one, for me Dalby has been their best player and a really good option up front, well worth enquiring about imoQuote:

Would be a waste of a signing, Big Myk much better especially in terms of output when not scoring goals.
I agree with the sentiment but pragmatically that is a blind way to build a squad. Who knows what we will come up against in Europe and if Myko doesn't re-sign we will need a target man to give us that option when it's 1-1 going into the last 15 minutes on a tattie field in Chisinau.Quote:

How is Fletcher a better option exactly?Quote:

Better in the air, scores goals, technically very good and all round better footballer even despite his age.Quote:

Wanting a ‘battering ram’ up top in Moldova is all well and good but not one who can’t control a ball. Not that European football really allows for such tactics nowadays.
Stuart Armstrong being released by Sheffield Wednesday.
Just turned 33. We should be all over this.Quote:

Please be 2 years
Looks like 1 more year (looking at the sticker on the boiler!)
Cracking post on WhatsApp, pic of a boiler.
Looks like a year, better than nothing.Quote:

Yep, never spotted the sticker, looks like the year option then.
Like the temperature on the "Boyler" - 98.
Two more tomorrow would be nice.

Also sure I read somewhere we were trying to get him tied up for two years on less money per week but more over the two years, so looks like he decided against signing .Quote:

Sad news with Gayle then they get us back up with the news of Boyles extension.
Did go through a little spell where he would probably admit he deserved the criticism, has stepped it up the last 6 months or so and will be vital for next season again.
Would imagine he’ll be at ER the morra then.Quote:

Another of our corse squad members sorted for another year.
Rocky
Triantis
Holiett
Myko
Still To go. Three from that four stay and I’m delighted.
The best thing about this transfer window for me is that we can make a fair £ from selling Vente and Youan despite the fact they haven’t contributed this season. Normally the only way we make good transfer money is by loosing our best players.
I think we will be trying for all four. I suspect Triantis might be the most tricky and take the longest to agree especially if it’s a loan deal.Quote:

I think Holliett stays if we want him to, and I don’t see why we wouldn’t.
I think Myko should be easy to negotiate. Swansea probably don’t want him back, and 1 year left on his contract makes a Loan next season pointless.
Has he signed a new deal or is this an extention of his current contract 🤔Quote:

Would keep all four. Would like to see what Vente could do in this team, but know he wants away. Youan I'd love it to work out with him here.Quote:
