Good progress so far, all that's left is the first eleven.

2/3 Centre Backs. We only have ONE Centre Back good enough for the starting 11 and he might be off.
1/2 Wingers

That would probably do me, maybe a Tex/Lingard style Prem loan creative CAM as well.

I think we look short up front. Hughton does not rate Colunga and O'Grady cannot be relied upon to score. I think it's highly likely that one or both may not be at the club by the end of the window but even if they are - will they deliver the goals we need? On the evidence of last season, I very much doubt it. That would leave us with just two first team forwards. When Harper is fit, he'll begin in the development squad so we also need another first team striker.

Depends on a couple of things;

Whether Hambo/Harper are straight into the first team squad.
How many we play upfront.

If we play one up front then we have TOO MANY strikers.

Eeyore · Jul 23, 2015

Happy to see Hemed and Baldock headline a 4-4-2. I rate Baldock in the right combo.

More concerned about a winger and a central defender, sooner rather than later.

The way we have set up would suggest a little and large partnership. Hemed and Baldock currently 1st choice. COG/Colunga 2nd and Hambo/Harper ther future?

I'd certainly still like to see a new pacey forward to be Hemeds partner as im not convinced about Baldock.

whos this pacey forward you would like us to sign then

Marshy · Jul 23, 2015

I still believe strongly that come the opening fixture we will still play with 1 up front.

Baldock will if he gets in the side still be playing a wide role much like last season.

Marshy · Jul 23, 2015

1 winger, 1 striker and 2 centre halfs required still.

British Bulldog · Jul 23, 2015

Centre half, winger & striker who are all first team ready and then I think we're there.

sorry disagree why would we start pre season playing 4-4-2 then if you think come the 1st game we will start with 1 upfront

there will ofcourse be times when we will play 4-4-2, probably if were chasing a game.

But generally much like last season in my opinion it will be 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 which ever way you look at it.

We will simply get over run centrally in a 4-4-2 in the championship...

sorry disagree i feel we will play 4-4-2 or 4 -4-1-1 this season and start with 2 wingers with baldock and Hemed up front

We better buy more than the 1 winger your after then Mark as we currently have March and Lua Lua as our wide men.... both hugely injury prone ...

we shall see regarding the formation, but the numbers of central midfielders compared to wide men we have suggest 3 centrally.

Napper · Jul 23, 2015

Another day without what we need desperately .

Looks like it !

Rod Marsh · Jul 23, 2015

I'd like us to get one additional winger in before the season kicks off. A second winger I imagine may well be a long loan from a prem club after the season starts. One top notch centre half around about 28 years of age with prem experience ideally. Another striker to compete or compliment with Hemed. If he gets injured we are in big trouble if its down to COG/Baldock. I'd also love some real flair in the attacking midfield, tex mk.2

Lurchy · Jul 23, 2015

Think Hughton will give the youth a chance this season - with Rea, Harper, Hambo, Tilly and Dallison all being on the fringes of the first team, but definitely need a few more experienced heads around them.

We definitely need an experienced centre back ( if Dunk goes), pref in his mid to late 20's and who knows the division. A versatile and creative winger who can play on either side and also a striker in the Gary Hooper mould.

Expecting 3-4 more very good signings, prefer quality over quantity.

5 more to come i think. Harper was wrapped up on Tuesday so if Hughton said 5 more last night i don't think that would be inlcluding Harper. Harper would make it 6 which i think would be right.

1 CB
2 Wingers
1 CAM
1 Striker

Chicksen, COG, Colunga to go.

Sounds right.

Minimum needed by Forest ( preferably by Sevilla ) :
1 Winger
1 Central Defender

Additional needed by Transfer Deadline Day :
2nd Winger
1 Striker
1 Central Attacking Midfielder

One Teddy Maybank · Jul 24, 2015

Winger x 1 (though wouldn't mind 2!)
Creative midfield player
CB

Would offload Colunga (as seems likely).
Chicksen on-loan to Crawley
COG on loan somewhere from October, when the new signings are fit.

If we could find a replacement I would take the money for Dunk as well.

I would add one more striker to that list. Would keep Dunk unless he wants to go.
