    Based on the arm tattoos and other photos I've seen, I think Dennon Lewis is the one on the right, half-cropped out of the photo. So he's either on trial from Wealdstone/Love Island, or we've already signed him but have kept it under our hats.
    Okay I lolled but now I take it back, it looks just like Dennon Lewis. We probably could get him on £1300 a week.

    Could the middle guy be John Bostock???? Was obviously a Gallen target in January before Toulouse messed it up. 
    Bostock would be a mental signing for us at this level!!

    He had a three year deal with Toulouse though (signed in 2018) so unless they've released him

    We've got nothing Toulouse if we can sign him on a free.

    Yeah I remember us being linked, didn't expect us to follow up on it. 

    It's another body and he can score and assist, if he can do it at L1 then he's good enough.

    I was one of the people hammering Bonne towards the end of the season. I think the emotion of relegation was getting to me. Today, I'm quite excited at the prospect of him starting for us upfront in League One. Think he should do well.

    Lee Bowyer is hopeful that Adam Matthews will be at The Valley for the new campaign. The club's embargo means salaries will be capped at £1,300 per week for new signings, though if the takeover deal goes through, that will rise to £2,000pw.‎

    It would be no surprise if Tom Lockyer is still plying his trade in SE7 during the 2020/21 season either.

    To be fair after all the doom and gloom we could be starting the season with a decent team. What do people think the betting odds on us winning the league will be ?

    We'd be a hell of a lot stronger with those two additions.

    I really can't see either of those 2 signing for 1300 a week or even 2k a week. I'd be amazed if they can't get a better deal elsewhere.

    If it did happen you'd have 2 of the clubs best players on the least money.

    Anyone know (roughly) what sort of wage the likes of Davison and Morgan get?

    What if they want to be in and around London... Suddenly the options look less attractive.

    Lockyer won't have to sign for that. He'll be on his previous deal - whatever % relegation clause he had in his contract

    That £2000 is just a calculated average. There's a total budget of £2.5m which doesn't include under 21s or loan players, so there is some flexibility to give certain new signings more.

    IF we can come off the embargo

    I understood it that Lockyer has a current contract, he can walk away if he gets a better offer

    Lockyer was offered a new contract before the salary cap vote, sp may be able to sign that without it breaching new rules.  It was also said that he have notice of taking up the option to break his contract due to release clause - but it was strongly implied he had a month to find another club or could continue the final year of contract.

    The club were talking to the EFL about offering Matthews a new contract.  You'd assume that was because they wanted to offer similar terms as last season.  Can't see the EFL waiving their new regulations for L1 though.

    Bostock was at Forest last season, maybe he hasn't signed again after they signed some dishonourable scumbag.

    Bostock was on loan.  The loan was to be rescinded, and then he was supposed to come to us on loan.  Toulouse wouldn't rescind the loan, probably as they were guaranteed his wages were to be paid and unsure if our loan would succeed.
