Over the course of Friday, BBC Radio Nottingham’s Colin Fray will be answering your questions about Nottingham Forest.
Tony asked: Do we stick or twist in the January transfer window? Do we have the right team to challenge for a European place or do we still need to strengthen? And can we afford to?
Colin answered: There is little doubt that Forest – and ambitious owner Evangelos Marinakis – will look to strengthen further in the January transfer window, but not necessarily in a race to try to earn European football this season.
Some of Forest’s transfer work has been heavily criticised since returning to the Premier League, but there have been signs that they have been getting it right after all.
Few would argue with the fees paid (or not) for the current starting XI – or indeed the rest of the squad.
They have found good value signings in the likes of Nikola Milenkovic, for instance, and in the summer they notably did not spend over the odds on inflated fees for some potential targets.
So, expect more building in a similar fashion, certainly with an eye on the PSR rules. And do not forget, the vast majority of supporters would have accepted a mid-table finish this season – even a lower mid-table final position would represent progress from previous seasons.
Any challenge for Europe would be a huge bonus, rather than something to be expected.
