‘With the greatest of respect’ – Wrexham told why ambitious January transfer is unlikely despite ‘glitz and glamour’ of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney

<p>With Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-how-much-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-spent-wrexham-summer-transfer-window-record-signing-eight-deals-promotion/blt2b42ee8a6fa41d12" target="_blank">continuing to make the funds available</a> that allow Phil Parkinson to recruit in each passing window, the Red Dragons have seen a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-keen-england-international-striker-40000-a-week-contract-patrick-bamford-deal-leeds-difficult-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt2167bfbe809e57ac" target="_blank">move for England international striker Bamford speculated on.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He is, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-price-range-no-patrick-bamford-wrexham-alternative-leeds-raid-january-transfer-window/blt53381141d1e1e1e3" target="_blank">on big money at Championship promotion hopefuls Leeds</a> – having previously represented them in the Premier League – and is not expected to reach an agreement that would see the 31-year-old swap West Yorkshire for North Wales.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Wrexham are, however, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-resources-available-january-transfers-wrexham-boss-phil-parkinson-explains-how-winter-window-tackled/bltcd490383fee7e7c6" target="_blank">being linked with other forward options in January</a> and EFL pundit Don Goodman, speaking via <em>Plejmo.com</em>, has said: “With the greatest of respect to Wrexham, it's a brilliant project with all the glitz and glamour, I think Patrick Bamford would have greater ambition from a footballing point of view, as despite them having a brilliant season, it’s possible Wrexham could still be a League One club next season.</p><p>“I could see Ryan Hardie being an attractive option, however.

WHAT EFL PUNDIT SAID

<p>Scottish striker Hardie is currently on the books of Plymouth, where he was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-how-wayne-rooney-reacted-dark-side-football-plymouth-sacking-man-utd-legend-tipped-top-manager-horrible-time/blt33b949a2ff8bb0b3" target="_blank">recently working with Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney</a>.
