Tranmere have just signed the striker who was at Wrexham last season on a two-year deal.

Their fans were a bit mixed on him towards the end of last season but looks a decent signing on paper anyway!

The Wrexham fan I work with is well and truly pee'd off

From what I've heard they're gutted about losing him. Great signing in my eyes!

No to get a couple of full backs in

I heard young and quick and was sold instantly

Great signing this. Wrexhams top scorer last season with 14 and I'm hoping we will continue to play him in midfield and actual have a goal threat and creativity coming from there.

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!

Great news, we have signed Wrexham's player of the season from their squad. They have only offered seven existing players contracts, our Connor was one of them.

And they stole Riley off us, the scoundrels!

Brabin happy, Mills sad, Id say!

Can anyone tell me if he was the quick one, who McNulty was struggling with, when we played them only a few weeks ago? If so good signing.

I would like to see us re-sign Hughes and Vaughan, keep Sutton and Mekki, find a couple of full backs and another midfielder and we wont be too far away.

The last ten days have been very good.

Concur!

A great bit of work by Mr Brabin and the team . He could have gone to any div 1 or 2 club.
Keep the Faith.

Another positive signing, this might suggest Jennings and Cook up front with Norwood on the wing

Jennings can also play attacking central midfield I think so there's also the possibility of Cook and Norwood up top and Jennings behind.

It will be interesting to see!

I make that 59 goals last season between those three!!!

Yep

I feel it'll be Cook & Nors up top with Jennings behind them.

Just to play devil's advocate Sub, you could argue that Cook & Jennings had players feeding them better....

Once got sent off for a foul on his brother, that must be a first
Connor Sent off

also it's nice to see the powers that be finally pulling their fingers out of their ar#@s. All that sitting around doing nothing while other clubs were busy rebuilding was annoying.

great stuff

Mr brabin is slowly regaining my faith, 2 fab signings and a decent finish to the season....

Great signing this....Wrexhams Captain,leading scorer and player of the season...Wow! brilliant, can't wait for the season to start.I hope the inspirational Adam Mekki now signs to complete my day.

Surely we have a League 1 quality front 3 now?

I can certainly see some form of diamond shape formation or even a sole striker with Jennings (C) and Norwood behind with this news. Also makes the signing of the other Jennings more understandable I think, as this would suits a three-man central midfield, which might help all involved. It might make the winger some have been clamouring for redundant though, or at the very most a off the bench option, which Kirby can probably do.

Agree with this.

I see it as

LB________Iheikwe______McNulty________RB


Harris_S.Jennings_Maynard


C.Jennings


Cook_____Norwood

Not bad for a club apparently doing nothing whilst the likes of Gateshead shot off.

Cheap shot that deadly. Tut, tut.

I was critical originally but now starting to feel more confident.

I wouldn't favour a diamond formation though because of the tendency for that to lack width. Connor Jennings adds great competition for places which should help us play better.

4-4-2 or 4-3-3 for me!

Good business and the right age in terms of putting together a squad that could look at a double promotion before any possible restructure.
Hopefully we have two full backs of similar quality already lined up.

I would be very surprised if Mekki has a better offer but he is relatively easy to replace.

I notice Zoom is stalling on Crewe's offer could it possibly be a return?

Jesus! It was a joke! Lighten up!

I remember thinking the same this time last year with the signing of Norwood, mangan and co. Hope GB gets his formation right. Jennings and cook up front for me with nors out wide. He's done well out wide at all his other clubs.

Surely no one can moan or criticise now............or can they????

There's always the scoreboard inadequacies to moan about LOL.

A season to look fowards to is on the cards! fantastic of the club to say promotion in the no.1 aim ! another winger or 2 and our squad looks pretty decent if we manage to keep the rest of them too

Not everyone appreciates the lords name been taken in vain. Some do find it offensive. Like I tell my kids "think about what you say, unless you truly mean it right or wrong" then you can say it

and don't forget the non league Yaya Toure.

didnt mekki have a year contract if the club wanted to take it up . eney wat good to be back but not for long as im on hols in greece in two weeks . yippy . just had a great time at the test match great two days there . right er we go . two fab players . still hoping we get a warhorse of a midfilder someone whe gets stuck in . think thats were we fell short lst year . we need to sort out the full backs . im realy happy an me an the familly are gettin are seasone tickets . in next few days come on my fantastic club

I'm done with this Forum now. Just unbelievable.

Are my eyes deceiving me? Fans now moaning about the term 'Jesus' on a thread about a new signing.

Get a grip!

hey sub wats up . connor played most of his games in a attacking mf role have seen him a few times as some of my familly are from there . he is good from there . an think brabs will use him as that . come on boys the dragon fans are miffed with this . well lets wait an see who else turns up hear is lookin forward not to the euroes@#$%&the new seasone

Good signing, does this mean the club have had an answer or indication from Mekki he's off as they seem quite similar players, hope not. Cook Jennings up top, Norwood in behind, Mekki Maynard Harris behind. I think these are defiantly better signings than last year

I think sub does a great job with the forum and has never offended anyone ... And always puts forward a reasoned and logical view

As regards the signings the last 2 seasons we have struggled to score goals so cook and Conor Jennings are to me a good step towards addressing the problem

An attack minded left back should be our next priority

I thought you'd had an epiphany and binned him for good.

As for Jennings, I'm not convinced about the comment on him playing for any league 1 and 2 club, or he'd have gone to a bigger club and when he was at Scunthorpe his record wasn't stellar, but to be able to bag a decent sides top man from what I am inferring is heartening indeed and it shows ambition, that top 10 clubs are being targeted for their 2-3 candidates for player of the season, so a good signing all things considered.

Then I ate his Liver.......... with some baked beans and a can of coke.

do you know if he took their corners. Heard somewhere he did and if so are they better than what we have had

So we have 3 very good strikers in the squad. Let's just hope they don't fall out with Brabin and he ends up getting shot of them. So far things look promising! I'm not bothered about the Euros, I just wanna get the league going again and see some positive results!

It's just going to be the same as last season, signing good players & having the best squad in the league, but with a clueless manager you've got no chance. Same sort of scenario with England, players aren't too bad but Hodgson is completely clueless.

Hodgson is an incredibly experienced manager in a few countries to boot. Clueless he defiantly is not. And let's start this season on an even keel for Brabin, can't be doing with abuse at Prenton on day 1, could be our year. SWA

Roy Hodgson is a terrible manager TranmereFan. Back to Tranmere, I really hope Brabin proves me wrong this season but I just can't see it. We're going to have a really strong squad again this season, so I'll give him the first ten games to prove he's turned it around, if not he needs to go. We can't afford to be in this league for a third season.

Nice to see players with a bit of pace which is what we lacked last season.

think some forwards did last season

I think Jennings will work best at the head of a diamond midfield, just behind Cook and Norwood. Bringing in a couple of wingers would help the supply. Perhaps if we gave Dale Jennings a chance to rebuild his career, and signed Ryan Jennings who was on loan at Grimsby from Wigan last season, we could go for a midfield of Jennings, Jennings, Jennings and Jennings.

Whilst I think Dale Jennings is too much of a risk to sign, I now think we should for comedic effect.

seems to have been a fair bit of activity at the club over the past couple of days with connor Jennings and the 3 youngsters signing their first pro contracts and bringing lee jones in. seems as if most on the forum are not overly delighted at jenno staying on.

The Euros serve, like pre-season friendlies to fill a gap, before the season. It is just less important than the friendlies

Good signing, the forward line looks strong, we now have 3 proven goal scorers at this level who all contributed 20+ goals last season, unlike this time last year when we were getting carried away with Cole, Margetts even though they hadn't played in this league.

Not a fan of this diamond formation people are talking about, you need very creative attacking midfielders and good pacey attacking fullbacks for this to work.

I think 442 or 443, although we do need pace out wide, fullbacks and at at least 2 wingers have to be the priority now, the spine looks strong now.

For me pacey players out wide is the key, especially playing at home, we need something to excite the crowd an enjoy watching us, that's why the diamond wouldn't work, we were to narrow last season and after half an hour of trying to break teams down the crowd would just be on the lads backs, even in this big bruiser league, pace is key in modern football!

SWA

Having lost both Riley and Hogan, we need another central defender as cover also.

We may still have Sutton and that would provide both cover and sufficient quality to provide competition. The quality iof signings thus far makes me hopeful that we will also secure quality full backs.

I have real doubts about Brabin but it does seem unreasonable that every action is used by some to add criticism. Last years squad was not as strong as some claim ,in part because of players inherited. It is the first time in his career that he has had the time to really shape a squad. There is a real chance that he will grow with experience and having choosen the most of the squad he may be more confident in the tactics deployed.

At the very least he should be given credit for what on paper look like two excellent signings. The loanees (as is always the case with such players) were a mixed bag last season but he has made few mistkes in terms of long term signings.

Experience matters and there is a real prospect that he will develop as a manager. In the interim,he should at least be given credit for good recruitment
I like the fact that we are signing players that are experienced but young enough to give s number of years service and may even get better.That alone suggests that he can be more strategic than some suggest

Is he responsible for signing players though?

yes jennings can take corners an can get a real good ball in to the box . can also do ok from dead ball to . has a real good turn of speed . can go missin some times . but they all do it at times
