Description:
Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies has expressed his concerns that the club cannot afford to fall back on loan market and need to make permanent signings prior to closing of the transfer window.
Billy Davies has made it clear that Nottingham Forest need to make ‘three or four stellar signings if they want to improve on last season’s third-place finish.
He said: "The loan window is not an option for this club to go down and progress. The loan window is very appropriate for the situation we were in during the season before last, when we were hanging on for survival and had one foot in the grave when it came to relegation.
"This is a different situation. We are talking about a club that has finished third in the Championship and for me, unless you are bringing in players of the quality of Craig Bellamy and Jason Koumas on loan it is not worth it.
"I have experienced and suffered in the loan market enough already over the years. If you are building a young team and building a squad, then you have to build on the wonderful foundations we have laid already.
"There is no point in us not doing that now because we have put the work in."
