Also see 20yo Sol Solomon scored 2 for Marine, this boy averages a goal a game in the last 2 seasons I'm not saying Latics should immediately sign any of those I mention (except Haughton) just have someone check then out. Maybe they have already. Not having a pop at you but this “being watched” means very little. I was sat by a Preston scout in the Main Stand a few years ago - he had come to watch Fage. That didn’t come to much! And some of us recall Andy Holt being “watched” by Celtic (when they were a big club) . Nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even top clubs get it wrong though as in the case of Chris Waddle when in non league and I was told he'd as never make a football league player at any level in a million years. It's all about opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Any chance Royle & Royle will be able to prize some money from Franks tight grip now we have some TV money coming?

Players from the EFL would have to have exhausted all options to drop out of the league, unless silly money is waved in front of them. I don't think Latics have the clout to do that, hence his comments regarding the wait until January, which probably means a raid on Everton. Free agents, there must be a reason why they are free or go for players from non-league. As I said previously, I think Unsworth will assess returning players and hope we can stay clear of the relegation zone until January, with new blood coming in to push the team on.

Thanks, I'll check him out when Mossley are at home to 1874 Northwich on November 5th. He's only 20yo, with a background of Manchester United and Crewe it looks promising.

No. Just a recognition that it's not easy getting quality to sign for a non-league club. We certainly don't want signings for the sake of it.

Wrexham have the luxury of being able to throw bags of money around to tempt players who will definitely be quality in this league. Despite what some are saying regarding unaccounted for gate receipts, I don't think the club has the money it would take. It feels a bit like that period between Christmas and New Year, one peak of excitement just gone and everything is in a flat limbo, waiting for the next one. Fingers crossed ours is on the way.
