Loan rumour - Mamadou Loum

[Snowflake Royal]

You’re just fishing for a new beef there…bored of Paul and Nameless

I love Pepe the Horseman.


You're certainly right I'm bored of those two.

[From Despair To Where?]

I'm getting quite strong Bikey vibes about him. Hard as nails, maybe a bit mental but doesn't take any shit.

[Nameless]

Can’t be much good if he flew all the way here then didn’t get selected for our final preseason game

[Stranded]

Ince hopeful this is done next week.

[Hound]

Yep Sarr and Loum - going to add a hell of a lot extra physicality

Considering where we are think this is the right approach. Stronger at set pieces, just generally hopefully able to bully a few teams

[Zip]

We will definitely pick up a lot more yellow cards next seasons and I suspect few reds too.

[Brogue]

I called for it last season, said we needed 11 warriors on the pitch. not interested in all this tippy tappy bollox we been trying since stam. Let’s get 11 6ft + players on the pitch and play hoof ball ala Wimbledon from the 90’s. Rough and ready. Make other team scared of playing us. Glad we seem to be going for this approach.

[Snowflake Royal]

Sadly, we still seem to want to pass it around the defence and keeper. Lumley in particular seems to want to live life dangerously.

Agree here and I think that's been part of our problem for a number of years now, our teams just haven't been physically imposing enough to deal with teams that generally are physical and teams like Millwall have shown that you can be successful with a physical side.

Providing the transfers come off, the spine of our team consists of Lumley, Sarr, Loum and Joao, all players that have a physical presence, they are all 6ft+ and, in the case of Loum and Joao, give us technical ability as well. Supplement that physical spine with the likes of Holmes, McIntyre and Meite, we should be able to physically compete with teams and be a threat from set pieces in both area really.

I quite like the look of our side now really, I think there is a good blend between technical players and powerful players and I think it's beginning to look up. If we can stay largely injury free for the majority of the season, we should be fine I think.

Agree, things are looking up

Dont worry - feeling is utterly mutual.

Wonder if there is any danger of him weaving his way into the squad this week?

Pete O'Rourke's sources tell him that -

The 25-year-old Loum has arrived in England to undergo a medical and complete a season-long loan deal with Reading.

Isn’t that old news ? Yesterday Ince said Loum had gone back to Portugal awaiting his visa, which would suggest he had a medical earlier this week and terms have been agreed, probably EFL Signoff as well.

Pete O'Rourke's sources must be past their best before date...

It's a bit like the various sites claiming this story as an exclusive the day after Ince had said he was interested in the player during a radio interview.

[Sutekh]

Oh what a tangled web he’ll weave when first he practice to deceive the centre back with an inch perfect through ball.
