Like Sarr he’s a decent championship centre Half. However I thought his limitations were clear and obvious against Forest. Releasing him hopefully means that we are looking to improve. Exactly same goes for Sinani as well actually. Who we're replacing him with is the worst kept secret since "we might be bringing Jordan Rhodes back". My understanding is that Will Boyle is a slight downgrade but much cheaper, freeing up cash to strengthen higher up the pitch. If the Boyle thing is true, surely you don't sacrifice the defensive solidity found to strengthen the attacking options? Seems counter productive, especially when we have just made the play off final. I'm ambivalent to Sarr's departure as we have cover in the form of the returning loanees but it does seem strange that a bloke that started the play off final is released for whatever reason. |

Only started because Pearson was injured. We have 2 young central defenders learning their trade in lower divisions. I liked Naby as a person and player but if he is expensive he has limitations as we all know. But can pick a pass as well as anyone on the squad (limited success rate 😉) Thanks Naby a big lad with a big heart |

Releasing sarr isn't a big issue if we replace him adequately enough.
My hope is the club are not going to get a substandard replacement but with the Boyle rumours I suspect we are as not been convinced when watched highlights of him etc.
Hopefully i will be proven wrong if he signs.

Alternatively, if a slight downgrade on your 4th choice centre half (which is - at best - what Naby was last season) helps to fund a big upgrade on your first choice attacking midfielder, that might be worth it. All that is hypothetical btw. I have no inside info on who is coming in or leaving. |

And he still has no club-he was great for us and scored some key goals -money is tight of course but get him back on a short term deal -and he could play up front for me

Did that fall through? I think they're still under a transfer embargo and he hasn't been registered yet, probably because of his wage level. |

Sarr seemed to becoming a far better defender last season and cannot understand why such an experienced player wasnt retained when other defenders were leaving
He certainly would have been a good back up player to cover injuries ,suspensions and players showing poor form
Seems yet another give away to me and think he will certainly do a good job for another club

I would welcome Sarr back in a heartbeat. He was not only a decent defender but an attacking threat from corners. Why he was not retained is obvious: he had an expensive contract with regards what the Chairman was prepared to pay. So, we get a cut price replacement which means cut price quality which, if not, corrected will lead to cut price defending which means conceding goals. Why Sarr was necessary a few seasons ago but not now is the real mystery. His contract was agreed under the Big Phil era yet now it is dispensed with. Of course the irony is we are short of top quality centre halves just when he would have fitted right in. Is it only Town that consistently do these kind of things?

Sarr was prone to the odd error, but I thought his passing etc improved last season. No disrespect intended, but when you see the standard of the next class down, you realise just what’s required at Championship level. |

That happens and nobody is questioning us allowing Sarr to leave. Plenty on here were lauding Boyle's arrival...but there's an element of hit and miss with even the greatest of players. |

Sarr had his critics but as supposed improvements go, Will Boyle for Naby Sarr is a piss poor example

A player we're crying out for right now. Must have been on some hefty wages.

Sarr played a big part in the play off run in, scored in big games and, rightly or wrongly, started at Wembley for us.
If he was still here, would he have started the game for us today?
100%, yes.
Did his direct replacement, Boyle, start today, in the midst of a central defender shortage?
No.
Says it all, really. The squad is shit because of decisions like the one to let Sarr go and replace him with a lower league camel like Boyle.
Cheapskate, short sighted and ultimately it will cost us.

I predict Sarr will somehow contrive to score against us probably from a corner and we will lose to Reading a team we beat twice last season scoring 8 goals. Just saying ...

Am the only one who thinks we might have got 3 points v W B A if we still had Sarr ,Toff and Pipa in defence.
How on earth did the club let go better defenders than what we have at present and replace them with some who do not have the ability to do the job
That to me spells RELEGATION and Hoyle must not be able to see it
