How long have you got? It's a bit complicated this year.
As much time as needed.
Read at your leisure then:
EFL summer transfer window When does it close?
The EFL transfer window opened on Monday 7 May and will close at 5pm on 9 August – the same day as the Premier League. This is five days after the start of the EFL season. EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: “This new approach will give clubs and managers the stability they crave earlier in the season whilst also providing the flexibility to add to their squads after the traditional deadline until the end of the month if required.”
Loan deals and free agents; EFL clubs will still be able to sign free agents and loan players until 31 August.
EFL window key dates; EFL clubs will still be able to: sign players on standard loan up to 31 August 2018 sign players on standard loan up to 31 August with an option to agree a permanent transfer when the next window opens register players who ceased to be registered with a club during the period up until 31 August transfer players out to a club in any league whose window is still open
International transfer deadline; The Premier League and EFL now have different transfer windows to their European counterparts, meaning there will be two deadline days this summer. Here are the window opening and closing dates for France, Italy, Germany and Spain: Sweden: 11 August Italy: 18 August France: 31 August Germany: 31 August Spain: 31 August Scotland: 31 August Russia: 31 August Belgium: 31 August Turkey: 31 August Holland: 3 September
We basically have an u23 squad, and we go and sign a second choice keeper first up.
Boring as fuck
No, we don’t basically have an under 23 squad. We do have an unusually large number out injured which necessitates utilising players from the under 23 squad. Unfortunately that is life in league 1.
We have not signed anyone yet, and we don’t know who the player is that is having his medical today or what position he plays.
I am interested in who it is, which is why I read this thread.
I don’t find a fuck boring, maybe you are doing it wrong?
Using too many u23s is life in League 1 eh? Tell that footballing powerhouses Peterbrough and Oxford

I did not use the phrase “too many”. I am suggesting that it is not unusual to have young upcoming players in league 1 teams.
What size squads have those two teams got then and what % are under 23 compared to us?
The way Bowyer was talking about the player coming in, doubting they would be match fit is weird as he played 90mins for villa on Monday
Unless its not match fitness thats the issue - With a Goalkeeper you'd want them to be familiar with the Defence so the two can trust each other i.e. you wouldnt want Chris Solly to leave a header for Steer to catch the ball thinking that he'd come for it when he's someone who prefers to stay on his line
i.e. Its one of the many reasons I blame for our relegation from the Championship (i.e. the fact we never had a settled back four / Goalkeeper during the season) whilst its one of the many reasons I think we romped to the League One title (because we had a back four / Goalkeeper that never changed)
If we're signing a loan keeper it has to be a relatively experienced one to be worthwhile. I haven't actually seen Sarkic linked anywhere except on here but he would be an insane signing; we already have Phillips who has potential but lacks experience. It would just be weird to sign a younger, even less experienced keeper as his competition, especially as developing Phillips is in our long term interests and developing a loanee is not. Steer would be something more like reasonable competition but I would rather see someone with a bit more recent first team football come in. Still, beggars and all that..

Igor
Fosu
Clarke
Reeves
JFC
All experienced pros, plus Djiksteel who would be in the 1st team squad too. Now Pearce, that's 7.
Steer will be well known to Andy Marshall, who would have been his keeper coach at Villa.
Must have been recommended then.
Ideally, as well as keeper, Jed Steer can also play centreback and central midfield?
Exactly what we need.
You'd think he would Steer clear of a basket case club like Charlton.

Irrelevant as we're not signing him, but it's amusing that Sarkic was actually born in Grimsby!
