Phil Parkinson shares another Wrexham injury concern after Ollie Rathbone blow 'Need to assess that quickly...'

That isn't even the only injury concern either, with Parky confirming that Jay Rodriguez is still feeling the effects of a foot problem

The striker will have been looking for a strong pre-season campaign, so this setback is a real source of frustration

One Wrexham player can count himself very unlucky after Phil Parkinson’s latest transfer move He may drop down the pecking order now...

Difficult not to feel sorry for Wrexham goalkeeper Callum Burton after Danny Ward's arrival.

We only saw him for a brief period last season, but he looked more than capable as competition for Arthur Okonkwo

Studying the average age of Wrexham's signings under Phil Parkinson, it's not what rival fans would expect It's not just veteran heads at Wrexham...

Aaron Cresswell, Craig Dawson, Tom Cairney, Danny Ings... a lot of experienced players are being linked with Wrexham this summer.

We've seen it all before in terms of fans saying Wrexham only sign 30+ players, but Phil Parkinson has been finding a balance

Some of the commercial income is Premier League level, and surely only going higher in the Championship. They have the money to spend and Parky loves spending on proven quality at the level - Cairney fits in perfectly in that regard. Expecting some younger targets too, just like last summer

Let’s see if it comes to fruition. Creativity has been an area of concern for me and Cairney may be getting on a touch but still has so much quality. Real statement of intent if it can be pulled off. Have seen the FFP criticism but people don’t grasp how much money Wrexham are taking in

Both Howard and Fletcher going feels like Wrexham know there is a chance to really go for this. Would have been β€˜easy’ to extend both and I expected them to either stay or retire; that they’re both just moving on suggests to me that Wrexham are gonna have a real go
- Cairney an unreal rumour

On holiday but so much Wrexham stuff going on, quick breakdown

- Fletcher leaving stings, just a proper cult hero. Felt he could have still made an impact off the bench
- Sad to see Mark Howard go as well, played well when called upon last season and another great character.

For all the signings made over the years, it's always Max Cleworth who impresses me most for Wrexham - a future captain if he stays long enough, making every step up look absolutely seamless
