He's 29; the age alone is off putting; Vardy was 25/26 when he signed for Leicester big, big difference. Your effectively buying a player who'll realistically physically decline within 2-3 years; for a lot of Money and on a high wage (He was offered per week £9k to move down a division and I assume his contract is long as well) That's probably not much less than what any championship club would offer anyway; I just don't see it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made the Langstaff post because I thought that was a bit more realistic because he will attract Championship interest; and he's spent his career climbing the Leagues; he'll be hungrier. along with the fact that he's (almost) 3 years younger; But ignoring that I still expect him to stay at County. Both Wrexham and County are ridiculously Rich even by Lower end Football League standards: the only reason there still there is that getting out of the National League is like climbing a sheer wall with toothpicks for assistance.

Ekoku: The Ambassador Of The People 122 Posted April 23, 2023 Watched the show ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ and he moved there to be closer to family. Was top goalscorer and has a stand named after him at Cambridge for his goalscorer herorics. Won’t come here. The Notts County striker is definitely worth a scout at the very least.

There are examples of it happening of course, but to see them make a jump from non league to the championship and excel is pretty unlikely.

Both Wrexham and County are ridiculously Rich even by Lower end Football League standards: the only reason there still there is that getting out of the National League is like climbing a sheer wall with toothpicks for assistance. Notts Country are indeed wealthy by National League and possibly even League Two standards, but I still expect Langstaff to end up at a lower Championship or higher League One club given the season he has had. He'll have good offers for much more money than he's on now. Mullin, however, is 28 and Wrexham will likely be paying insane wages for that level of football, so I doubt he'd receive as many offers from higher levels, and they probably wouldn't come with a pay rise either.

Again he was at Cambridge in League 1 and made the move for family reasons. Plus i bet he is on better wages at Wrexham than he was at Cambridge which obv helps with the move.

Certainly lower league He was playing for Shrewsbury in L1, not for a non league side. And you may forget but we were in L1. The point is that we are surely looking for equal-to or preferably better than what we have. By all means look in the lower leagues - we seem to have failed to do that effectively for a while - but I am pretty sure he is not the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t even know why we’re even having this discussion, Mullin not even the best striker in that division! It strikes me someone has never actually watched non league and is just going with the flow. Edited April 23, 2023 by Branston Pickle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you not bother reading replies? We should absolutely look at signing players in lower leagues. That is not, and has never been in dispute, particularly from me. My point is that imo Mullin is not a championship striker and not worth us looking at - there are better in that same division. I hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're not going to sign someone better than Pukki. We can sign someone who has the potential to be possibly at a stretch even to Pukki; eventually. To get a Pukki equivalent we'll be looking at Farke Era signings again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
