We can't go and sign quality Championship level players yet, we all know there's an enormous overhaul needed if we go up. Which is why most people think it's too much too soon this season, we all know that we would be hammered most weeks up there with our current squad.Getting Covid fucked Jones up here really, he wasn't the same after that.
Not surprised he performed two levels lower than he was when he was here, or that he's not had too much game in L1 with you. He had that promise in his earlier years, close to a Championship move, but he's probably settled as a lower half L1 midfielder now.
Are Ormerod and Adebola coming out of retirement as well?!
Genuine question, and I suppose this is to all Wrexham fans rather than you specifically, but at what point do you start to think a bit more long term? Getting yourself in a position where you forward line options are those sort of ages is pretty mental. You've got 12-15 players in that 30+ category as well I think?
I can understand that whilst you've been winning you don't want to up-skittle the squad too much but it does feel like it's a bit of a ticking timebomb where the sort of squad overhaul you're going to need is a risk. At the minute you can buy decent L1 players and take out of favour Championship ones at huge money but once you go up, and whilst I understand you've obviously got money, to then get those deals done when you might need half a squad's worth is a hell of an ask.
As for the age, a lot of those 30+ will be gone this summer in any case. The average age of the first choice starting XI would be normal for this league I would imagine.
