Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney warned against 'going big' in January and told why splashing out on players can 'easily damage' Wrexham

League One

Wrexham

Blackpool

<p>The 2025 winter transfer window, less than two weeks away, is set to bring significant <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-ready-spend-wrexham-transfer-talks-confirmed-phil-parkinson-reveals-when-hollywood-co-owners-get-involved/blt58d67d267f34fd8f" target="_blank">activity to the Racecourse Ground.</a> Under manager Phil Parkinson, Wrexham brought in nine players during the summer transfer window, supplemented by three free-agent signings in recent months. Despite these acquisitions, the club is still in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wrexham-keen-england-international-striker-40000-a-week-contract-patrick-bamford-deal-leeds-difficult-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt2167bfbe809e57ac" target="_blank">market for a striker,</a> with numerous players already linked to a January move.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>This ambition to bolster their squad reflects the club's upward trajectory. However, the importance of prudent decision-making has been stressed by football experts, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/seemed-dumb-paul-mullin-reveals-embarrassment-wrexham-hype-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-hollywood-project/blt32737c262943c5b5" target="_blank">specific warnings against excessive spending</a> that could destabilize the team.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman has issued a pointed reminder to Reynolds and McElhenney about the potential pitfalls of overzealous January spending. Speaking to <a href="https://coinpoker.com/" target="_blank">Coin Poker</a>, Goodman reflected on his own experience at Wolves, highlighting how an influx of new players once disrupted their dressing room dynamics.</p><p>“Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mclehenney need to remember it’s all about balance. If they were to go big in the January window and go all-out for promotion, they could very easily damage the equilibrium and spirit in the dressing room," he warned.</p><p>"I experienced a similar scenario at Wolves, when we brought in around half a dozen players and it upset our spirit within the dressing room. Although I’m sure they’ve got the money to buy players and spend big, they have to get the balance right. If they’re going to bring players in, they need to make sure the policy is quality over quantity."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>Goodman commended Wrexham’s strategy so far, noting that most of the squad who earned promotion from League Two last season remain integral to the team. This continuity has been a hallmark of the club's progress under Reynolds and McElhenney's stewardship.</p><p>“If you look at the team which drew with Cambridge at the weekend, most of them were at the club last season in League Two," he added. "They did a little bit of business in the summer but stuck with the majority of players who did so well last season, I don’t think they’ll go mad in January as they didn’t in the summer. They need to focus on bringing in players who will go straight into the starting lineup.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Currently sitting third in the league after 20 games, the Red Dragons are well-positioned to push for promotion. Their impressive run has been built on team spirit and tactical cohesion, assets that could be jeopardized by disruptive spending. The team will face Bristol Rovers away on Saturday, a fixture that provides another opportunity to solidify their standing in the league. </p>
