We are just weeks into the summer transfer window and already Nottingham Forest have been linked with a number of new arrivals and players departing.

Forest have already signed Michael Dawson on a free transfer and are reportedly lining up a load of new signings because Aitor Karanka is still trying to put his own personal stamp on the squad he inherited from Mark Warburton last season.

The Spaniard was busy towards the end of the January transfer window and he is busy again this summer as the rumour mill is in full swing and plenty of speculation is flying about.

But with new arrivals means that players are inevitably going to leave and Karanka seems more than happy to let several men go to fund moves for his own targets.

Here are three players that Karanka must look to bin in the coming week to ensure they have the funds to complete transfer moves of their own.

Striker Vellios had another poor season at The City Ground, netting just twice.

It is time that the 26-year-old left Nottingham Forest and possibly returned to Greece to reignite his stalling career.

McKay was very much a Warburton signing after the Rangers pair both moved to Nottingham Forest.

But the wide man flattered to deceive a bit and he could be sold to Olympiakos soon.

Mancienne is not the man he once was at the back and his performances have started to cost Forest some points.

It is time to cash in on the 30-year-old and bring in a better centre-back to partner Tobias Figueiredo at the back.
