Yes. With loan players, you can send them back if they don't perform. Judicious use of funds...especially when the Forest rebuilding job was beyond what most top 6 clubs have had to perform.
A balance has to be struck. That '£ 3 million' maybe able to go to a really good striker on the last day of the window...or an outstanding Vuk' style CM. If they can have RB on loan and Ojo on loan rather than just spending the money all on the RB? I think pushing the overall quality of the squad higher rather than the semantic of a 'permanent' RB. (Let us remember, Forest are only 8 months into a complete squad overhaul that has been coming for the best part of twenty years...and even more so after the shakedown of the last 6 plus managers leaving Forest with a journey man squad of nomads who just weren't leaving it on the pitch...a patchwork quilt of different manager's players and a back line that hadn't been shake up in years and in the last 3 years Forest have 'just' avoided relegation 3 times. No coincidence.)
It's a game of poker.
And so far, Forest have played a blinder in both Jan' and Summer especially.
It's called being 'well run'...and we're not being 'pants downed' (no pun intended) over players anymore.
SA.
In short: agreed.
Cha-Ching!

Yep. Thats my take too.
Take him on loan and go buy another player with the 3m saved.
In short: agreed.
Cha-Ching!
