Nuno urges club to take care as he sets about Nottingham Forest transfer ‘noise’

When asked what transfer he would like to make in January, Nuno Espirito Santo, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, had no hesitation at all. The Portuguese’s response was quite explicit. Nuno has a slightly more modest hope than some managers, who may be shaking their fists over the possibility of a big-money acquisition or a slew of fresh faces to improve their teams. When his inquisitor had completed the question, he declared, “Everyone stays here.”Nuno’s top priority is maintaining the essential elements of his dressing area.

He is aware that he already has a solid team and that things are going well on the field. Speaking to the media on Thursday before Saturday’s FA Cup match against Luton Town (3pm kickoff), he continued, “Everyone together, with better team spirit, with more commitment and ready to go.” In the summer, Forest adopted a comparable strategy. There was genuine interest in some of their valuable assets, and plenty of conjecture about others. However, the team remained steadfast, even turning down Newcastle United’s last-ditch bid to sign Anthony Elanga.

That tactic has worked. However, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the Reds’ resolve put to the test once more before to the February 3 deadline of 11 p.m.Retaining their best players through another transfer window would be just as significant a declaration of intent as any new players Forest might bring in.Even more so if some of them accept to new contracts.New deals have been discussed with Ola Aina, Chris Wood, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Murillo. It would be excellent business if all four had written something by the end of the month, even if no incomings were missed.

The way the first half of the season has gone has made the transfer window even more crucial for the Reds.Every choice they make must be balanced against the possibility of halting their progress since they are very much in the running to qualify for Europe. This is why the goal is to have futures sorted as quickly as possible, even though there are indications that agreements will be reached with the aforementioned quartet. Nuno calls this type of background “noise,” and he would prefer that the level be lowered. During his pre-game press conference, he stated, “We must take care of and address every small issue that can cause us a little bit of noise.” “Let’s not let it disturb us, even if it’s a minor issue.I hope that individuals are taking care of things and that the club is aware of it.
