Rumour from Wrexham Season Ticket Holder friend is that we are in for the 19 y.o Belfast born central defender. Wreham web-site says he is away and a free agent. Friend says he is a talent has pace, good in the air and scores a few goals.

 

Young Irishman ponders his future.

The Club can confirm that while we have made a long-term offer to Danny Devine, it looks likely that the player will be heading away from the Racecourse.

After completing a loan period from Fleetwood Town and then being released by the Fylde club, Danny is a free agent and able to sign for any team, now that the transfer window has re-opened.

Late in the day he has received contact from other clubs and he is reviewing his options before making a commitment.

We had hoped that the Belfast-born defender would have agreed to remain at Wrexham, but at this stage, that seems unlikely, with clubs from higher up the footballing ladder showing an interest.

Wherever Danny finally ends up, we thank him for his contribution over the last three months and wish him well in his future career.

Now reassured, cheers bughtmaster

Or IHE even.

Looks like Devine has signed today, and the likely change in manager clearly didn't put him off.

16 days to go yet

I suspect if we progress to the League Cup Final we may see another signing or two to bolster the squad for the run in. If not, I believe we will have to make do with what we have and hope for not too many injuries or suspensions.

Interesting (and perhaps somewhat encouraging) to hear that this might not be the only new signing in this transfer window according to Butcher in his interview last week.  In all positions, I'd say that there's cover all over the pitch, even with players ready to step up the mark if the likes of McKay et al were to get injured.  The only area I would say that some cover is needed (and this is where the Arsenal link might come in handy) is at left back.  With the loss of Brislen-Hall and the punting of Blackman, you've got to wonder what would happen if Graeme Shinnie at left-back.  Warren can apparently play anywhere across the defence, but I think something would be lost if he wasn't in the centre.  I don't think I'd fancy seeing Raven or Meekings drafted in there.  Simon King may be option as he's left footed but he seems to have disappeared into thin air!

 

All in all, I think a back-up left back is needed.

Question?

 

Is it if and not "when is"  regarding Chris Hogg's return?

King is still recovering from injury.

I'm aware of that aye.  He's been out for months though, which is strange cause they thought he'd only be out for a few weeks at the time!
