Sarr and Loum

[WestYorksRoyal]

Anybody know why it's taking so long? Sarr in particular has been photographed in a Reading shirt and sounds like a done deal.

Presumably they'll be too late to feature at Blackpool now.

[Wycombe Royal]

Probably waiting for EFL approval.

[Hound]

Expect they are training with us and think it only needs to be official by midday Friday for them to play

But wouldn’t expect them to anyway - maybe on the bench at best

[Millsy]

Probably waiting for EFL approval.

This EFL approval thing is doing my head in, if I'm honest. Why do they need to approve it? Why not just get Millsy's approval. I approve loads of stuff all day. I know what I'm doing and can judge impartially.

Didn’t Sarr’s agent tweet that Naby had signed a 4 year deal earlier this week but guess it’s subject to ratification by the FL thus nothing official. Presume they’re still weaving the paperwork for Loum.

I expect that even at the EFL they're looking at these deals and wondering why they're not for a left back or two and have asked the club to explain themselves.

Expect NGW will sign. If not McIntyre perfectly capable there short term

[YorkshireRoyal99]

There appears to be quite a lot of deals in the making then at the moment. Sarr and Loum look like they just need to be pushed over the line and then there seems to be strong(ish) rumours regarding Hutchinson and Drinkwater as well as trialists like BOO and NGW that we assume we haven't already decided on yet.

Ince has also said he does want to add another attacker as well before the window is closed, so could yet be another 7 signings (assuming they all come off which they probably won't, would say it's looking more like 5).

If Loum is training with us (not seen any evidence he actually is) then there’s must be some sort of agreement in place. Can’t see a club allowing one of their players to train with another club unless there is some form of formal agreement. If he got injured then there would be a serious issue of who has liability for treatment, wages etc.

Maybe the club just preparing 1 big announcement with the away kit, squad numbers, NGW, Loum, Hutchinson, Sarr and Drinkwater all in one post

They could roll in Ince’s sacking, Cat 1 reinstatement and appointment of Bowen as manager as well....

Confirmed relegation to League One? Or is that too far...

Don’t think that would need a formal club statement....

Don’t forget the move to Scours Lane.

Ooo, not heard about that.
Exciting !

Just hope we don't get stitched up.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Was there a press conf today? Usually is Thurs before a game.

JLow's gone on holiday, he's had three months for that and goes just before the season starts

Edit - just read on Twitter from Dellor, Sarr is done and Loum just waiting for a visa, everything else done.

[Sutekh]

Sarr is, as we thought, awaiting FL approval. Loum is expected to join up once visa issues are sorted.

Neither will be involved at Blackpool.

[windermereROYAL]

Loum confirmed.

[Zip]

I’m optimistic Loum will turn out to be a very good signing.
