Signings and sales - your transfer window prioritiespublished at 10:05 31 May

Here are some of your comments:
Mark: Like any organisation that relies on stats to support decisions, Forest should now look to release players twho are liabilities and costing them matches with their mistakes. One look at the number of free-kicks awarded against players should highlight where reckless tackles have had serious consequences. If that behaviour can't be rectified in training then it's time to let a player go. So, Ryan Yates, play with your feet, not your arms...!
Jesse: Forest have a strong squad at the moment but if we want to challenge for the Champions League places next season and win the Conference League, we need to make the squad even stronger. The other teams at the top of the Premier League seem to be looking at making big signings this summer and if we want to compete with those teams then we need to sign players as well. Specific areas we need to improve are the midfield mostly, but also the bench. We do not have a strong enough bench to be rotating in all competitions. I think we also need to try to hold on to the big players.
Jack: Nuno needs to be realistic. We were fortunate with injuries last season and still struggled with depth. Now we have a potential European campaign on the cards, despite Nuno's preference for a small squad we simply must get bigger. I think we cash in on Morgan Gibbs-white now. In that back third of the season, I'm not sure how he was being deployed but it seemed all he wanted to do was beat players and shoot. I think he's a much better centre mid than being a pseudo number 10, but he wants the glory and attention so won't do it.
David: Complete confidence in the club to continue our progress. To compete deep into more than one competition, though, we need big bench upgrades but particularly need a younger, more mobile forward, more goal threat out wide and competition at full-back. Sangare fit again is like a new signing.
Peter: Most of us accept Gibbs-White will be off, likely to Manchester City. If/when he does, it's just the reality of how a club like us has to operate. He has been excellent for three seasons and now we will cash in on him. Eventually, Murillo will go the same way, but hopefully not until at least January. In terms of incomings, our lack of squad depth became painfully clear as we stumbled out of the Champions League and into the Conference League. So I expect this to be addressed and early, so that Nuno can foster the exceptional squad unity that was the bedrock of our still exceptional season.
