COLIN Calderwood is adamant the capture of Rob Earnshaw will entice other high profile players to join Nottingham Forest.
The Reds boss has seen Sammy Clingan move on to Norwich City this week- the second player to turn down a new contract after the departure of Kris Commons to Derby County.
But far form feeling the moves have dented Forest’s squad building, he feels Earnshaw’s signing is the real indicator as to the club’s intentions in the transfer market this summer.
He said: “I think it will help(attract other players to sign). Anyone with any knowledge knows the group is potentially quite good but what we’ve added is a bit of experience and a certain firepower from the past but we certainly think he’s got a great chance of having that in the future as well.”
“In a perfect world everyone will be here in pre-season so you could do the whole thing as a group, but it just won’t happen like that.”
“But I think there won’t be any hurry up signings-it’ll be someone we’ve looked at, spoken to or spoke about-they’ll be the ones who join us.”
“We won’t take anyone who suddenly shoots up from nowhere.”
“But something will happen between now and the start of the season where a change of ownership or a change of manager at a couple of clubs and suddenly someone becomes a first choice(target) when we didn’t think they’d be first choice.”
