*Mullin.


No - they’ve accidentally signed Lee’s brother. Fenty loaned them some expertise after the success of the Makofo signing.

34 goals is impressive but some context...

He took 12 penalties. He scored 9 of them & scored from a rebound for 1 of the 3 he missed. So 10 penalty goals.

There's a video on Youtube of his 34 goals last season & a lot of clever through balls and slide rule passes (Wes Hoolahan is at Cambridge pulling the strings) gave him 1 on 1 chances against goalkeepers.

Despite their increased budget will Wrexham be able to assemble a team that can provide the sort of chances he had at Cambridge?

He will be a good signing. I would be surprised if he doesn't score 15-20 goals from open play plus any he scores from penalties (if he's on them), but I don't think it's a game changer. Leagues are won by teams and Wrexham are a long way short of having a scary looking squad as things stand with 4 weeks until kick-off.

He had a Podge of a season for Cambridge!

God knows what they must have offered him to tempt him into non-league when he looked set to have a decent career in the Football League.

It's always a gamble giving players a three-year deal. We gave one to Hearn and we only really got one good season out of him because of injuries (and I don't think he'd have been on loads).

What would Wrexham think if Mullin does his ACL in the first game?

Yeah, not one to worry about for me.

I think Golly sums it up nicely.  Decent player but hugely benefitted from having a genuine game changer behind in Hoolahan who was by a country mile the best player in League Two last season.

Yeah you've gotta take the chances and be in the right places etc. But he won't have a Hoolahan quality player in the Wrexham side this season teeing him up.  

Guess location had a factor to play and I completely get that players have a short career and quite rightly they want to make the best of it for themselves.  But dropping down two levels after a season where you break records with your goalscoring....

Quoted from GtfcGarner
Individuals don't win leagues sadly, if it doesn't work out for him in his first year then it will all be curtains. I've heard a wage mentioned north of £5,000 a week for 3 years. Let's build a togetherness where all our players are side by side.


Not good for team spirit. Pearson was captain there and one hour away from signing. I appreciate everyone doesn't get paid the same but when someone is on that much and the core of the squad is on 4-5x less it's a recipe for disaster.

Individuals don’t win leagues and spending money doesn’t guarantee success but you can’t deny this is likely to be the biggest signing in Div 5 this season by a long way.

This guy has just scored 32 goals in one season in the league above and been voted the best player in that division. You would be forgiven then for thinking he’s probably at least League One standard yet he’s just dropped down a division.

Money talks. Most other clubs probably can’t compete in the NL but there’s no shame in that as frustrating as it is.

Interesting to see what next for Wrexham.

He's dropped down 2 divisions really seeing that Cambridge would be in League One this coming season.

From what I can see other than Mullin Wrexham have signed a player who couldn't get a game at Morecambe, a player who was in out and out of the team at Port Vale before being binned off by Darryl Clarke, a centre back from Southend who hardly got a game for them in back-to-back relegation seasons & a 31-year-old from Halifax.

Mullin is their only high profile signing.
