    Apparently we made an offer for George Dobson
    The player who was on loan to Wimbledon last season from Sunderland?

    No thanks.

    Aneke and Amos still deciding whether to sign new deals.
    Time to shit or get off the pot. 

    Fitness testing tomorrow & Friday with players coming in next Monday to start pre-season. We really want to know where we stand with these players. Might be one thing trying to entice a player away from his current club but its another when the player has been here a few years & it's really just weighing up deal A with us or deal B with someone else. 
    Good job it's not us that it's up to then isn't it?

    But being linked to players from Cheltenham, Exeter and morecombe is okay?

    I've heard he's actually pretty good, and young.

    Lots of talk and reporting from Rich for which we are grateful, unfortunately, most seem to be for people we are not going to sign, or indeed we maybe ever had a serious chance of signing, nice to dream of this or that player, but what we need to know is if we have any serious or realistic rumours or potential signings, because the clock is ticking, and yes I know Henry,...WIOTOS, but by then it ain't a rumour :)

    If we'd have had 5 signings from non league football already, people would be complaining. Missing out to teams in the league above us and people are still complaining

    Seems like hes a tough tackling midfielder as he can play defence aswell. Need someone with a bit of bite in the team.

    I mentioned Dobson the other day, should be a player we are looking at. Holding midfielder that can play, plus still only 22/23. London boy we will hopefully be attractive.

    Not complaining, just pointing out facts, this thread is supposed to be about rumours, not the rights and wrongs of signings, that can come later, plenty of time for that discussion.

    Not so worried about Amos but I think we would miss Chuks goals....if he hasn't signed by now I think he is going elsewhere.....which is a shame. This would show me Thomas isn't throwing a lot of money at his Charlton project

    We have a budget, we probably don't want to pay top tier wages for a player who can't play more than half of each game.

    If Chuks expects to be paid Stockley wages, let him go find them elsewhere. Thomas has been clear we have a budget to work to and the team obviously think those funds are better distributed :)

    Neither has Chuks signed for another club so that could equally mean he's not going elsewhere.

    Until he signs somewhere else there is a chance he'll sign for us.

    Will he sign for us?  No idea but yesterday morning Pearce wasn't signing for us because he posted a quote on Instagram.

    Benchuks Wantekson. Sign him up
    I think Chukbeneka Watsaneke sounds more believable.

    There is no rush on JFC is there, he basically has until the 1st of August to sign a contract somewhere, then he risks not getting paid.  He can't sign for anyone else because he won't pass a medical, he probably can't even take one let alone pass one.

    I heard the differences were wages with Aneke and length with Amos and the first one was agreed yesterday.

    Matthews?  I just don't think he likes playing in August.......

    I thought the ‘testing’ to be COVID tests before they start pre-season on Monday.

    Its difficult with Chucks. Good player yes and causes all sorts of headaches for defenders. However, Up until now he cant last 90 minutes consistently and if he does manage that, he aint playing the next game. Ideally you want a squad who can play 90 minutes barring injuries & suspensions etc. 

    If his money is less as a result of injury issues and is given is performance based bonus to bump up his wages then he might think sod that, ill go sit on the bench at another team who pay me what I want + the bonus. 

    Its good business to get the possible deal for the club at the end of the day and if the club think they arent getting value for money from a player who cant last a season without guaranteed issues then you gotta cut them out. 

    Aslong as the club have a replacement or 2 in mind then it shouldnt be an issue long term. 

    I do want him to sign btw!

    What about the player that Wimbledon  loaned from Brighton or Southampton.  A winger who ran rings round us at Wimbledon and scored 1 or 2. Wouldn't mind him joining. 
    Ryan Longman? That's a very good suggestion. Would think Brighton will look to loan him out again.

    Played just about every game last season for them, showing promising durability, and 8 league goals which is a decent return. Brighton might be looking for a Championship side though for his next move

    Maybe not, it depends if they think he is worth a new contract or not.  They might want to cash in on him if they don't think he is premier league material.  His contract runs out next summer.

    Intresting choice of agent as well.

    You know the rules - write a player off before he has even put pen to paper…. Particularly one you have only seen play a couple of times and probably didn’t even pay much attention to.

    Might be a good idea he talks to Lyle Taylor around the "take the bunce & sit on the bench" marlarky. Depends on what you're happy doing & being remembered for I suppose - a great bloke & team player or a self centred money grabbing *****

    Oh I'm not saying he should....far from it.

    Just wondering if the club might think its better to put his wages to good use elsewhere.
