The level of spending on new players has taken many fans by surprise and while that is 絶対 no 保証（人） of success, Forest 明確に won't die wondering.

経営者／支配人 Steve Cooper was 約束d a kitty of £50million after they 安全な・保証するd 昇進／宣伝 but owner Evangelos Marinakis has 許可／制裁d over £70m of spending already - and they aren't done yet.

Forest are now 重さを計るing up a 取引，協定 for Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis, who 得点する／非難する／２０d 10 首相 League goals にもかかわらず their relegation last season. Watford want £25m for him, 押し進めるing that level of spending closer to nine 人物／姿／数字s.

The City Ground club also want another winger and another attacking midfielder to 支える squad depth and are in 会談 with former Manchester 部隊d player 足緒 Lingard.

There was excitement when Lingard 地位，任命するd an Instagram picture 船内に a 私的な jet and fans 跡をつけるd his flight from Manchester to London, believing he was off to 会合，会う Marinakis for 会談. Mind you, he's also linked with West Ham.

足緒 Lingard has been 申し込む／申し出d an in itial two-year 取引，協定 by Nottingham Forest

The former Manchester 部隊d 星／主役にする has been jetting around the globe during the off-season

On Wednesday it was 報告（する）／憶測d Lingard's 代表者／国会議員s want £10m for finding him his next club and the player has been 申し込む／申し出d a 取引，協定 価値（がある） £200,000-a-week.

With 10 players already through the door, Dennis and Lingard could take Forest's summer 取得／買収s to a 一連の会議、交渉／完成する dozen with not a 広大な／多数の／重要な 取引，協定 recouped so far in sales.

Goalkeeper Brice Samba was sold to レンズ, bringing in £4.3m, but every other first teamer to leave has been 解放（する）d for nothing.

What's 確かな is that the Forest 味方する that 再開するs 最高の，を越す-flight life at Newcastle on August 6 will be very different in complexion from the one that （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Huddersfield 1-0 to 勝利，勝つ May's 選手権 Play-off final at Wembley.

One obvious 推論する／理由 is that a 核心 of players from the 昇進／宣伝 team were only on 貸付金 - Djed Spence is now a Tottenham player, James 獲得する could make a 打開 at Man 部隊d, while Philip Zinckernagel and Keinan Davis were borrowed from Watford and Aston 郊外住宅 それぞれ. Samba has since 出発／死d.

Cooper has a delicate balancing 行為／法令／行動する ahead.?

He will want to be loyal to the 核心 of players who helped end Forest's lower league purgatory but also 確実にする they are best equipped for the 首相 League by 統合するing the newcomers.

England international Dean Henderson is a solid 交替／補充 for Samba between the sticks, even if he might not bring やめる the same colour and character as the Congolese stopper.

Henderson will be desperate to impress ーするために rubber-stamp his 傾向 in England's World Cup squad and show 部隊d what they're 行方不明の as he finally gets a run of first-team football.

In defence, Forest have 強化するd with the 調印s of Moussa Niakhate from Mainz and Giulian Biancone from Troyes.

Niakhate, whose 取引，協定 could be 価値（がある） up to £13m, could slot into the 支援する three in place of Steve Cook. But given Cook's 広範囲にわたる 首相 League experience with Bournemouth, he shouldn't be dispensed of too lightly.

Joe Worrall could be 押し進めるd by Biancone but is likely to keep his 位置／汚点／見つけ出す and could 井戸／弁護士席 be 船長／主将 for the （選挙などの）運動をする ahead, while Scott McKenna won the club's player of the year last season.

Nottingham Forest have 調印するd Welsh 十分な-支援する Neco Williams from Liverpool for £17million

There will be change in the wing-支援する positions. Neco Williams, who cost £16m to buy from Liverpool, is 始める，決める to be afforded licence to rampage 負かす／撃墜する the 権利 and the 21-year-old could be the ideal 後継者 to the very impressive Spence.

On the left, Omar Richards, a £10m 調印 from Bayern Munich and at Reading before that, will be keen to 攻撃する，衝突する the ground running in English football once again.

Between them, you'd imagine 学院 卒業生（する） Ryan Yates will keep his place and he could be paired with 吊りくさび O'Brien, who 完全にするd his move from Huddersfield と一緒に Harry Toffolo on Wednesday.

The attack may have to be remodelled わずかに to 融通する Dennis if Forest get the dea l over the line.

There was a 抱擁する sigh of 救済 when homegrown 星／主役にする Brennan Johnson committed to a new four-year 契約 earlier this month and he'll be champing at the bit to be 抑えるのをやめるd on 首相 League defences.

Johnson is a versatile 今後 and could easily assume a No 10 position in behind the two 今後s; Dennis and another summer arrival, Taiwo Awoniyi.

Former Liverpool player Awoniyi netted 20 goals last season as Union Berlin 達成するd a remarkable fifth place finish in the Bundesliga, 収入 資格 to the Europa League.

It's little wonder therefore that Forest needed to break their club 記録，記録的な／記録する to buy him for £17m.

Given that, he is 高度に likely to be a first choice up 前線, whether he partners Dennis, Johnson or someone else.

Forest will play eight より小数の league games in the 首相 League compared to the 選手権 but the step up in 質 and intensity has seen them wisely 捜し出す 増強s in almost every area.

They 港／避難所't been afraid to splash the cash and come 支援する into the 最高の，を越す-flight 用意が出来ている to give everything to finish 17th or higher.

Only time will tell if this lavish 支出 keeps Forest up. Many have spent 類似の 量s in the past and failed.
