When buying in the summer you have time to get the new players integrated into the club and team. In that sense you can take bigger risks. When buying in January you unfortunately don't have that luxury. Players need to perform more or less straight away if they are to have a significant impact. From that perspective going for proven Championship or PL players would be the preferred option. Going for young foreign talent with a lot of potential is probably not the smartest thing to do in January.
And it's all about quality now and I believe the decision makers at Forest are very well aware of that.
This is absolutely spot on chap. The random hit & hope approach won't cut it.
