Royals and Racers C Scott on X has claimed today that Abbey is off to Notts Forest and then loaned to Olympiakos and Holmes off to Luton but loaned back to the end of the season.

Webster750 Have posted the same in the rumours thread but also heard Abbey > Forest and Holmes > Luton. Holmes should be confirmed over the next few days, Abbey likely later.
Hadn’t heard about the Olympiacos loan but suppose that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, can’t see him returning here.

If true, then good luck to them. If Abbey plays at Olympiacos, that's a good step up for him.
I'd much rather keep Abbey than Holmes until the end of the season, simply because his attributes are different to all our other CBs (especially when it comes to his pace). Bindon would've been able to cover for Holmes without issue; Dean and Mbengue would cover at RCB. At least we've got plenty of CBs - McIntyre, Mola and Dorsett can play LCB.

Hound Would prob look at TMc/Mbengue
Similar partnership to Holmes/Abbey. Left/right footed, one pacey etc
It’s shite news though

Pepe the Horseman Forest expecting to be informed on Monday that they’ve been found in breach of PL profitability & sustainability rules for 3yr cycle to June 2023.
Will this mean they can't sign Abbey?

Yeah.
We won't be seeing any money from it. But at least with Holmes and Abbey it doesn't hurt us too much, compared to say Smith or Knibbs or Azeez.
An insanely positive outlook would be that Dai's selling them to make up the difference between what he wants and the offer from Genevra or whoever and the deal will start progressing now.

They'll just get Olympiakos to sign him and transfer him to Forest later.

Delboy Can we sign any replacements already lost Ballard and Ejaria ?

YorkshireRoyal99 The next problem is who comes in to replace these players? I doubt they will be the only two to go and, somewhat fortunately, we are decently stocked up at CB. Even without them both, we've still got Bindon, Mbengue, TMcac and Dean in our squad.
I certainly wouldn't be surprised if all of Wing, Smith, Azeez and Knibbs go as well alongside others who are continuously linked with a move away like Savage. What a disaster this is turning out to be after a pretty impressive run of recent results.
