These 3 are the best Nottingham Forest bargain-buys of the last 10 years

Supporting Nottingham Forest over the last 10 years has resembled a rollercoaster ride, although the bad times have been more frequent than the good times.

Other than a couple of Championship campaigns that have seen the Reds reach the play-offs and a promotion from League One in 2008, there hasn’t really been a great deal more for those of a Forest persuasion to shout about.

Things had looked to be on the up for Forest at the start of this campaign but the sale of starlet Oliver Burke has seen the Reds go five games without tasting victory, offering cause for concern that another season of struggle is on the horizon.

With a few of boss Philippe Montanier’s new signings struggling to get used to the demands of the Championship, Football League World writer Lee Clarke decided to take a look through the archives at Nottingham Forest’s three best bargains buys of the last 10 years.
