Ryan Reynolds defended as Wrexham hit back at Chris Wilder transfer claims | OneFootball

Wrexham assistant Steve Parkin has defended the club’s recruitment after Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder accused them of targeting players across the division during their move for Callum O’Hare. According to Wales Online, Wilder’s frustration centred on Wrexham’s approach in the recent window.

The Welsh club lodged a bid believed to be around £6.5 million for the midfielder. After the Blades ownership approved the offer, the transfer was finalised on deadline day and the former Aston Villa and Coventry City player signed a three-year deal in north Wales.

With Hollywood co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham have not shied from investment since promotion to the Championship last year. Last summer they made 13 signings, including Nathan Broadhead, Ben Sheaf and Callum Doyle, spending more than £30 million.

Goalkeeper Nathan Patterson arrived for a club-record £8 million, while Danny Imray and Ben Whiteman cost a similar amount combined. This window brought Jacques Ekomie for about £7.5 million, Issa Kabore for £2 million and Joe Worrall for around £2 million, taking post-promotion spending to £65 million.

Wilder had suggested Wrexham submitted multiple bids for players in O’Hare’s position and said the deal was not guaranteed at the time. Parkin countered that Wrexham identify specific targets rather than scattergun bidding, adding that managers can be upset when key players depart. He said he looks forward to catching up with Wilder before facing Millwall on Wednesday night.
