They've just bought two strikers eh, so maybe his time is up over there

They've bought 3 strikers in haven't they?Longman, Smith and Rodriquez, though none scored yesterday. Another dodgy goal ,95 minutes , foul assisted again , according to Crawley fans posting on HYS.

Strange that Mullin " is finished" according to Durham , following his injury in the USA ?
Broken ribs aren't usually a career ending injury , unless there was some internal organ damage ?

Mullin at "third man " might be an option to bring on and the earlier he comes on the greater possibility of " winning " penalties and free kicks.

I presume the vast majority would say Macca, but Mullin would bring a few of the dark arts that we may need to get over the line.

With the squad as it stands, Id bring Macca in given the choice.

If Jatta left, Mullin would be the first one in the door.

I thought I remember reading that he punctured his lung in the collision.

Thought Mullin was going to Port Vale

He's currently got a shin injury (minor according to Parkinson) and he has started or been subbed in the last six matches (I stopped looking further back). He's been getting 70 mins if starting and 40(ish) mins if he comes on. so not finished yet! He might not be cutting the mustard after his spine surgery in June 24 but the American injury looks to be long gone. Would I take the cheating sod? If the shin injury isn't an issue then yes.

I swear they've been living off last-gasp winners for years. Had a quick look at their site, and they're mostly pissed off with Parkinson, despite back-to-back promotions and being third in L1.

Would I take Mullin? Yes, absolutely! Horrible player to play against, and while I really don't like him, I'm sure that would change if he played for us. Back up to Jatta of course.

He might do a job in L2 but he's not cutting it one division higher, as is so often the case. It seems to be a bigger jump for a forward to make than other positions, our own Gary Jones tore up this division but couldn't buy a goal just one level up, and then there's Macca for evidence. And he would be on Hollywood style wages, no doubt including under the counter add-ons that the cheating effers don't declare, a bit like Man City.

Mullin is a different level to Macca I?m afraid, he has far more to his game and it would be a massive statement if we could sign him. He is already proven at L1 level but maybe his age has caught up with him for that standard.

He won?t go to a championship team and I doubt Wrexham would want him going to a L1 side. Of the sides in L2 that could be suitable I guess Walsall would be favourites now Lowe has left them. Port Vale, Notts, MK ****ing Dons, Cheaterfield? Who is going to really take a chance and go for it?

Would have him here in a heart beat.

If he lives Wrexham way, Port Vale and Walsall would be much more convenient for him.
I think McG, Jatta and Mullin covering those 2 spots till the end of the season would see us home. Provided of course that he is not carrying an injury.
We will end up with Reindorf though. It might turn out OK but more of a gamble.
