I know it's the rumours thread but this is why I want Eaves. I've tried to keep it realistic and with players that we have been linked with or players on record Bowyer has praised.

The playstyle speaks for itself, I noticed last season how selfless Lyle is and how effective he is when he drifts out wide, feel like with a proper target man we could exploit that, Lameiras a typical winger, CJ Hamilton can play as a versatile left sided player, his pace would protect Naby on the overlaps when Naby gets adventourous with his passing, it would allow them to two up on any sort of tricky wingers. That's where I felt Naby got exposed at times last season, Lockyer to break up the play, sort of the Yoni Buyens role, play the ball forwards to Oztumer, Oztumer to create the chances, if he gets targeted he can be well protected and we could run the flanks. Nathan Thompson as a right sided CB, he played as a right back all last season but I think Anfernee could be a seriously decent wing back, has pace, can beat a man and confident on the ball, would link up well with Lyle imo and there was glimpses of it last season. Pearce to do his usual hustle and bustle, lead from the back.

That would be my game plan for next season and I think it's realistic. The diamond we were exposed at league 1 sometimes and that's with players of quality like Cullen and Bielik, without them it's gonna get worse I just don't think we have the complete full backs to play a system that relies a lot on one on one defending, Dijksteel showed signs.

Heard from what should be a reliable source this morning that Lameiras is very unlikely to be joining, even though he's spoken with Bowyer. Not enough money. Possibly heading back to Portugal.

Not enough money? The guy has played for league one Coventry and league one Plymouth!

Wtf are we offering?

I've said on here several times before .. briefly .. what is a 'nice earner/good living wage outside the M25 might be inadequate in 'real' London. On a couple of grand a week (or a lot less) (e.g.) Lameiras could live like a prince in Portugal .. players have to maximize their earnings and savings in what is a short career ..  living and working in expensive cities like London would make a hole in a player's potential cash pot .. In this context, I mean a player outside the 'parachute bolstered' Champ clubs and the Prem of course 

100%

When a player moves one of the major factors to consider is where they are to live.

The club he plays for is possibly secondary to this.

£2.5k a week is approx £130k pa.  That's the salary of a top grade Hospital  Consultant (inc extras). Good enough to get you a 4 bed house in Chislehurst, Beckenham or  Bromley. Hardly slumming it..

I suspect that Bowyer and Gallen will get pretty frustrated losing our targets to better offers.

To be fair, none of the players we've allegedly been after have signed for other clubs yet

Players may be after money but it doesn't mean they'll get it. After all Ben Reeves waited all summer for a better offer before he joined us

True, but Reeves did have a good offer from us to 'fall back on'. 

I highly doubt players like Eaves will fail to get more money elsewhere. 

I've no idea, but I doubt Reeves was offered more than the sums that the likes of Aribo and Bauer were offered for example

In the summer of 2013 we had ONE first team player on £2.5k a week or less - the typical salary was double that. That was six years ago.

So the logical conclusion is that as a club, that is about where we should be pitching our salaries, with out external investment.  That's what we offered BFG.  What's the problem then?

So we're offering top end 4/5k a week hardly enticing for top level league 1 players let alone championship. Our only pull for any of these players is guaranteed first team football or the opportunity to join a United unit under lee Bowyer. I think personally we need to get a core of 18/20 to see us through to Jan, new owners pump a little money in and that's where bowyer shows what he can do. Him and gallen are lethal with little to nothing imagine what they'd achieve with abit of wonga
