Can't sign anyone else until players are sold, still well short imo so not good news.
Well short is a stretch if we get Begovic we can put a good team out with a solid bench. Yeah another two would be nice but we’re not well short.
If we want to get out of this league with Birmingham and Wrexham in it we are still well short of the quality needed imo, and Begovic hasn't signed yet that might depend on players going as well.
What quality have Wrexham got in this league?
Supposedly they have the best midfielder in the country 😄.
I don't see Wrexham as a threat yet at all. Signings are fine for this level but nothing wow. Still got a lot of work to do to be competitive. Just because they've been able to outspend and pay big wages in L2 and Non League doesn't mean that's going to be replicable in this league.
Stockport I see as a bigger threat of the newly promoted sides - recruited very well and have an excellent manager in Challinor. They could easily be around the playoffs. Likes of Bolton,Rotherham and Huddersfield are a given to be big threats for automatics.
If we can get 3-4 more quality signings (I'd count begovic and Potts in that ) then I'd be confident we could be around that conversation.
Wrexham will definitely be there or there abouts and anyone who says different doesn't understand how deep their pockets are and the momentum they have.

They have momentum and plenty ££££££ if needed.
It's needed now in this transfer window and they've not really signed anyone of note.
Admittedly there's still over a month to go and i'm sure they'll sign someone but their squad doesn't stand out.

I can’t see it if o’Connell, Dobson and Lee are starting for them.

Those deep pockets don't really seem to have done much to keep the momentum going though. Dobson is a great signing for a team that have been promoted and want a solid season to consolidate. He's not really the kind of player who is going to turn them into real contenders at the top of the league. The same can be said for their other signings honestly.
Wrexham are going to survive pretty easily I'm sure, might well be top half team. But they need much more about them before are real play-off contenders IMO.
Charlton aren't there yet either for what it's worth but we're closer to it than Wrexham are. Potts, Begovic, and a quality midfield addition could put us there.
I'm prepared to give Berry and Docherty leeway considering I've only seen one once and the other twice. But Coventry, we have had our pants pulled down. 20+ games. Was he ever better tham mediocre in any?
Had to laugh when he dribbled the ball almost the entire length of the box, when a simple touch into 18 yard area would have drawn a penalty. He ended up passing it to their keeper.
I have no affinity with Bexley, who I suspect doesn't watch games, just takes opposing views. If not rating Coventry, Gilly, Jones, Edun, Watson, Docherty is controversial then so be it.
Hardly had our pants down!! There was no fee, and I’d bet we could get rid of him tomorrow if we put him up for sale. i seem to remember plenty digging out Dobson at the start.
Wasnt the fee around seven figures for Conor Coventry?

Do you really think that Dobson deserves the same tarring at those two jokers ? Dobbo really has become Semedo already.

If he is Semedo hopefully history repeats itself as no one wanted him to leave but we went on to win the league the next season but yes he’s better than the other two but I just don’t think he’s that great , great tackler but that’s about it and I think we’ll see that this season with a more mobile midfield.

Lee is a great player. Knocks spots off our midfielders. Probably 2nd to CBT for goalscored & assists. Probably will score more goals than our midfield combined.

What momentum? Stockport look better
how deep are their pockets. The second actor is owed £5m by the club and he has a personal wealth of £40m. That doesn’t sound to deep to me

My QPR mate said Begovic is the worse keeper he's ever seen. That a lampost would move quicker. Obviously it's a very bias opinion but thought I'd share.
Your mate knows fuck all about football if he thinks Begovic is the worse keeper he's ever seen unless he hasn't watched many games 🫡

What quality have Wrexham got in this league?
I would take Okonkwo in goal, Dobbo in midfield and Mullin up top against anyone we have at the moment. Very good spine to a team

None of them have done it above league 1 or 2 where as we’ve signed majority of accomplished championship players, there’s levels .

Good point about the spine. Currently we don't have a goalie, we do have a prospective leader in defence with Mitchell A, we don't yet have a proven midfield general, maybe Berry but have not seen it yet, and we don't have a fit 9 to lead the line. So a lot still to be desired about our spine.

Mullin in l1?
Dobson has spent three years playing for a lower mid table team 🫢

That would be the same Mullin who when last in League one scored a whopping 3 goals in 20 games? Okwonko, a keeper who has never actually played above L2 before? Dobson we know the qualities of but again he's brilliant if you want solid and dependable but he does not turn an average team into a good one on his own as proven by his stint here.
Wrexham are easily good enough to be a decent L1 team. But they are no better than that.
I'm not really that sure we're that much better ourselves at present and I think we're still a far way from being real promotion contenders. But honestly if we don't do better than Wrexham we will have been much worse than I was expecting.
Nathan Jones said the goal for this window was for us to come out of it categorically stronger.
In light of losing CBT, May & Dobson in 2024 the jury is out as to whether we’re better than last year in my opinion (we haven’t replaced these players with better from what we’ve seen so far….albeit early days)

If we sign Begovic, then him, Docherty and Godden are proven at a level far above where any of them have played. Plus that's their 3 best players apparently, the majority of their squad isn't at the level, even O'Connell didn't pull up trees here
