Jack Robinson

One of two potential left back signings with Fabio hopefully.

Hopefully.  It's a position that seems to plague Forest.  To have strength in depth in that position is important for a real swing at promotion.  Jack, probably a decent player and step up from some of the LBs Forest have had.  And can cover CH?  Even better.  But to have a top 6 charge depended on someone with a track record of recent injuries?  Prudent to have Fabio some in as 1st choice LB (and can't he cover RB as well?)  That depth to defence in the back line is important as well as a couple of players who can cover other positions as well.

Forest constantly seem to have come undone from fullback positions over the last few season, added to mediocre CHs and it compounds the problem.  Can't stop the cross, can't head the ball away etc.

Again, Forest are starting from such a relatively low base (several 'almost' relegations...) that going the extra mile and rivet tacking each position with a quality 1st teamer and a quality squad member who can push them for their place is a big job but if Forest want to really swing for the fence this time, it's about time Forest thoroughly overhauled the complete squad of '24.'  (The 1st part of that overhaul was in January and the more complete review appears to happening this Summer.)

Finally.  Karanka is the man to do it.
