was just thinking the same. Strange that all the youngsters are getting signed up except Sam.

Bamba is supposedly a done deal, just waiting for him to get back from holiday to sign the paperwork and do a press announcement, etc.
As for Byram the rumours are that a contract has been tabled so it could be one of a few things holding it up. We could be waiting for him to get back too, he could be waiting to see if we accept an offer from a prem club or there is just some back and forth between the club and his agent about terms (I'm guessing he will at least want a hefty pay rise if we won't let him go to a prem team and maybe some assurances of us going up in the near future). If he doesn't sign soon though I think he is probably going to go what with supposed offers of £6-8m been touted it wouldn't be worth letting him run down his contract.

I thought Bamba could electronically signed the contract? This would suggest that the contract had not been signed for whatever reason and the longer this goes in is worrying as it would suggest he might be waiting for other offers.

With Sam Byram, I can't imagine him running his contract down, he'll either sign a new deal or go. Whatever he decides will be good for Leeds. £5-£6m if re-invested would bring quality into the squad or Sam on a new deal would be great for the team and show Cellino's intent. Let's wait and see.

Yeah I did see something about Bamba maybe signing electronically but he could have already done that and they don't wanna announce it till they can get him to ER to do a press conference (bit of an anticlimax to do one a week after) especially as if he signs he has to be prime candidate for captain for the season doesn't he? Could also be waiting for a work permit maybe? don't know if he qualifies as an EU citizen tbh. Just seems to be too many sources saying its basically done for it not to happen.
