Premier League: Nottingham Forest "chopping hand collection", if this is still relegation is not successful, where is the reason?

In the summer window of 2022, Nottingham Forest is undoubtedly the most beautiful boy in the Premier League and even the five major European leagues, with 22 consecutive signings and hundreds of millions of euros in operation, which is undoubtedly stunning.

Of course, Liaoqiujun once explained in the summer window that the reason why Nottingham Forest can rush to the Premier League is because most of the core players of this team are on loan. While buying + lending a total of 22 players, Nottingham Forest released 8 players in the summer window, while 8 players were loaned, and 5 players left at the end of their loan contracts, and overall, the players who left were almost the same as the players who bought loans.

Brennan Johnson is Nottingham's own youth academy

In addition to the crowds, Nottingham Forest also have a small number of home-grown players, with Brennan Johnson as the main development target.

Before the 2023 winter window, Nottingham Forest spent hundreds of millions of euros, and in 16 games in the Premier League, Nottingham Forest has only 9 points. And as the winter window began, after a winter window, Steve Cooper became more comfortable with Nottingham Forest, and the team gradually merged into a whole.

However, the poor performance in the first half of the season still caused great concern among the Nottingham Forest management, worried that the hundreds of millions of euros spent in the summer window were completely lost, and a new round of signings was already on the table of Nottingham Forest in front of the winter window.

Nottingham Forest hit it off with Newcastle

Nottingham Forest desperately need to improve the quality of the team, and it just so happens that a team that is rapidly improving in the Premier League also needs to clean up some redundant players, that is, Newcastle.

In the last winter window, the Saudi boss brought in players such as Chris Wood in order to relegate as soon as possible, but after the 2022 summer window, Chris Wood, as a functional striker, was quickly eliminated by Newcastle as a substitute, and Nottingham Forest saw the time and decisively loaned Wood, and both sides had a mandatory buyout clause.

This clause is very interesting, about Chris Wood three appearances, Nottingham Forest will be forced to buyout, according to some media speculation, probably Nottingham Forest wants to buy out the amount, include it in the 2023 fiscal year, avoid focusing on 2022, affecting the team's financial review.

Nottingham Forest also signed Sherbey

In addition to Wood, Nottingham Forest also signed with Shervey at an unknown price, after Newcastle signed players such as Guimarães, Shervey's position is already very low, Nottingham Forest is willing to be the catcher, Newcastle is also happy to be an adult.

In this winter window, Nottingham Forest has also brought in Atletico veterans Felipe, Andre Ayu, loan Keylor Keylor Navas, etc., many of them are strong veterans, Nottingham Forest can be said to be doing their best to achieve relegation this year.

The continuous signings also made Nottingham Forest's squad overcrowded, with a total of 35 players in the first team. Of course, this is because Nottingham Forest have players such as Dean Henderson, Omar Richards, Awoniyi, Biancone, Nyaquette, Yates and others with long-term injuries.

Overall, however, Nottingham Forest's results have improved considerably after a World Cup. In addition, the improvement of home results has gradually lifted Nottingham Forest out of the relegation zone.

Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their last seven home games

As the winter window came to an end, Nottingham Forest's lineup changed again, and Chris Wood started continuously, becoming an important fulcrum for Nottingham Forest's frontcourt, allowing the team to play more directly. The rest of the players such as Servey, Danilo, Felipe and Andre Ayu have also slowly integrated into the team, and Nottingham Forest have officially left the relegation zone.

At present, Nottingham Forest beat teams such as Wolves, West Ham United and Leeds United to temporarily rank 14th in the Premier League with 24 points, and now there is a gap of 6 points from the relegation zone. This has also allowed Nottingham Forest to gradually get rid of the title of "unjust head", and looking back at Nottingham Forest's successive signings, you can also find some "potential stocks".

For example, from Atletico Madrid, 24-year-old Reynan Lodi, 23-year-old Gibbs White from Wolves, 21-year-old Danilo from the Baja Liga, 21-year-old Neco Williams from Liverpool, etc., these potential stocks will become the core of Nottingham Forest's stay in the Premier League if they continue to improve.

Steve Cooper has kept his position for the time being

However, Nottingham Forest still has many problems, such as Nottingham Forest is the second fewest goals scored in the Premier League, averaging only 0.77 goals per game, ranking the bottom three in the Premier League on goal difference, these two statistics will force Nottingham Forest to get more points, otherwise in the case of the same score, Nottingham Forest is likely to fall into the downside due to goal difference problems.

However, the current situation is still positive for Nottingham Forest after the winter window is strengthened. Everton did not bring in the winter window, although the signings of Bournemouth and Southampton are strong, but they are not powerful compared to the signings of Nottingham Forest, whether Felipe, Ayu, Shelvey, Keylor Navas, these are the long-time players in European football.

Newcastle's rapid improvement in recent seasons has also proved that the veterans who work will be much more useful than the youngsters, and Nottingham Forest in today's situation, if they are eventually relegated, it will probably be an unimaginable disaster.
