Options up front for Reds.

This summer saw Forest spend almost £4.5 million worth of talent, in an attempt to build a squad capable of reaching the Premier League within three years


Lee Camp, Joel Lynch and Chris Gunter signed on after successful loan spells at the club last season, however they remained the only additions to the defence.



Davies brought in six other players to provide much needed competition in midfield and attack.

Dexter Blackstock signed for a reported £1.6million fee, along with former Southampton hitman David McGoldrick for a cool £1million. Dele Adebola arrived on a free from Bristol City, after the Nigerian born striker rejected their offer of a new contract.



Paul Anderson made his loan a £250,000 permanent deal from Premiership giants Liverpool and the long pursuit of Paul Mckenna finally paid off when Davies got his man from Preston for £750,000, and immediately made him skipper replacing the out going Ian Breckin.



Radoslaw Majewski completed the spending spree by arriving on loan from Polonia Warsaw, with a £1.5million agreed to take place in January.



It is the attacking flair that made most Forest fans optimistic this season. With the signings of Blackstock, Adebola, McGoldrick, Anderson and Majewski, Forest seemed to have more attacking options then ever before.



Add to the list the strikers already at the club, Nathan Tyson, Joe Garner and the previous season's biggest addition, Welsh international Robert Earnshaw and Forest looked very dangerous on paper.



Manager Billy Davies had said in the summer he wanted six quality strikers and he certainly got them. But Davies knew what sort of strikers he needed to complete the set.



Overlooking former fans favourite Marlon Harewood, Davies chose strikers he knew would give Forest a more 'rounded' look.



Davies claims he has sorted Forest's scoring problem and the Reds can now see off games.



Dele Adebola offers Forest the strength and power up the top, McGoldrick offers skill and guile, Blackstock offers composure and height to the attack.



The three strikers from last year also have their roles within the team. Robert Earnshaw is classed as a 'fox in the box' by Davies and a natural goalscorer, Joe Garner is seen as the team's 'poacher' and a real handful for opposition defenders. And finally Nathan Tyson offers blistering pace and a deadly left foot and can drag defenders out wide to create space for the oncoming midfielders.



This sees the Reds have a variety of options if they need to change the game up front in some way. And if the likes of Mckenna, Majewski, Mcgugan, Moussi, Cohen and Anderson can offer the right sort of service, then there should be no reason why Forest can't be there or there abouts come May.
