When Ben Foster signed for Wrexham, fans thought an old-aged goalkeeper cannot become influential in the soccer club. And how the tides have turned. The goalkeeper became a cult figure after his dramatic penalty-kick save against direct rivals, Notts County. It became a symbolic moment in this year’s mesmerizing promotional push. And now, everyone’s getting excited; as well as older players like Hal Robson-Kanu. The Welsh icon scored a sensational goal against Belgium in the 2016 Euro tournament. Taking everyone by surprise, he has offered himself to play for the club. Yet, the fans seem unimpressed.

Fans react to Welsh player wanting to sign for Wrexham
Hal explained how he was a free agent for the last three years and offered his services to the soccer club. In an interview with Sky Sports Football, Robson-Kanu mentioned, “I’m happy to have a conversation and happy to donate any salary I receive to charity.” Despite those claims, fans expressed their opinions on the potential signing and look to become able scouts for the team. One fan believed Robson-Kanu thought himself to be Portuguese soccer legend, Cristiano Ronaldo. The fan commented, “Brother thinks he’s cr7, who is this geeza?”

Similarly, another fan stated how he failed to pronounce the correct name for Reynolds. The fan stated, “He isn’t getting a job calling him Ryan Reynolds.” Recently, Ryan produced a sensational song for partner Rob McElhenney on his birthday. Therefore, the two issues remain similar. Another fan commented on how he needed a payday. The fan stated, “Bro needs to get paid.”
Why not offer at the start of this season and help them get into the league?

There’s a reason why he’s been a free agent for two years 💩
The desperation now isn’t a good look either.

Another fan stated that it was a publicity stunt. The fan explained, “If you really wanted to help a club there are surely better more needy options than Wrexham. But then you wouldn’t get as much publicity I guess.” The reactions keep coming on Instagram and Twitter.

Similar signing to Ben Foster?
Now analyzing Wrexham’s need for a signing, and diving deeper into the matter, shows Reynolds has to make a decision. Considering Foster’s arrival boosted the club, Robson-Kanu can also have an everlasting impact on the squad. Considering he is a forward and Paul Mullin scores an incredible amount of goals, going into the EFL League Two showcases a considerable gulf in the quality of teams compared to the National League.
Significantly, investment probably becomes crucial to achieving success, and Robson-Kanu remains a household name in English soccer. He can provide the attacking spark if Mullin is out injured. Plus, paying nothing for him would mean astute business. With Euro experience under his belt, it can prove to be a masterstroke from Ryan and Rob. Do you think it will happen?
