Bournemouth boss Scott Parker has commented on Nottingham Forest’s summer spending spree as the two promoted clubs prepare for the Premier League.
The Reds have had little choice but to overhaul their dressing room ahead of their return to the top-flight. Five loanees were integral to Steve Cooper’s team last season but went back to their parent clubs at the end of the campaign, while Lewis Grabban and Tobias Figueiredo left at the end of their contracts, and goalkeeper Brice Samba departed for Lens after turning down a new deal.
Some players have headed out on loan, and others in the first-team squad are also expected to move on before the end of the window. As a result, Forest have had some significant gaps to fill.
