Karanka has repeatedly said he wanted the majority of new arrivals in for start of the preseason slog.
Paul Taylor has said even more times that the club looking to acquire 6, 7, 8 up to 10 players (talk about spread betting)
So with a week to go, it sure looks like it’ going to a busy one for the club, especially as I am also sure the manager also has a quite a list of players who he simply doesn’t want to be in Burton on the 25th.
Karanka said “It is important to have your group together as soon as possible. We are going to St George’s Park to be together on the pitch and be together in the hotel. It is important to be together to create those relationships. The club is working really well in the transfer market and hopefully there will be more.”
I am sure Forest fans must’ve spent all of last week refreshing their pages and looking for news as we were told that last week was going to be a busy one, as it was we saw just two arrivals in the Portuguese, but the club smashing its transfer record to do so. At the same time we lost out on Hutton (who I know the club really thought they were getting) and no noises on all the other players we seem to be in for.
All in all it MUST be a much busier 7 days ahead if the club really want to back the manager. And guessing Marinakis and Kominakis will have to get their wallet outs and Vrentzos in top form for all the negotiations!
Not only that, surely this week they will be announcing the full preseason – we cant afford to make the same mistake as last season and only have 4 “proper friendly” games
So how many incomings and who?
Who will we see leave this week?
Exciting times to be a Forest fan, just lets hope we are all overwhelmed come this time next Monday!
