Glasner's Forest: Quality Over Quantity In £84M Haul
2 Sep
Summary
- Liam Delap and Ousmane Diomande join for a combined £84 million.
- Daniel Munoz's arrival puts pressure on Ola Aina's starting position.
- The squad prioritizes quality with fewer arrivals after last season's exertions.
Nottingham Forest has adopted a strategy of quality over quantity this summer, with manager Oliver Glasner focusing on a smaller, more effective squad. This approach has led to significant investment, with Liam Delap arriving for £50 million and Ousmane Diomande joining for £34 million, collectively costing £84 million. These signings are intended to bolster key positions and enhance the team's overall strength.
Diomande is expected to integrate into the back three alongside Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic. Additionally, Daniel Munoz has been acquired, intensifying competition for the right-back spot currently held by Ola Aina. Liam Delap is viewed as an ideal long-term successor to Chris Wood, offering the potential to regain form and consistency.
Xaver Schlager, a player familiar to Glasner from their time at Wolfsburg, also joins the squad. The club has navigated the summer without a direct replacement for Elliot Anderson. With no European competition scheduled for the upcoming season, the squad will be better equipped to manage demands, avoiding the depletion experienced after their Europa League semi-final run last season.
