Nottingham Forest have already splashed out £24m on 11 new faces this summer, including £13.2m record-signing Joao Carvalho – and now they want to add Sam Byram from West Ham United. “He’s one on the list,” Aitor Karanka said. “We have been working since May to try and build a good squad.” On Saturday, the Forest manager warned his new flurry of recruits that they have no time to bed in:
The players from abroad are realising that the Championship is really tough; it is not the Champions League, Portuguese league or the Spanish league, it is really tough and everybody has to realise that we need to fight with the same intensity. In this squad they don’t have time to settle in, because if they take time they know they are going to lose their position. You don’t realise how big, how tough this league is until the moment you arrive here. When you are here, you enjoy it and you suffer it

Taken in isolation, Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink’s description of Frank Lampard as a player without an awe-inspiring skill could be interpreted as an insult. When Hasselbaink thinks back to the youngster who joined him at Chelsea in 2001, he recalls a footballer with a good shot, decent technique and some pace. “He tackled alright,” the Dutchman says. “I think if you look at his abilities, there was nothing really outstanding.”
Hasselbaink, however, is in the middle of paying Lampard a glowing compliment. The point he wants to get across is how hard Derby County’s new manager worked to become one of the finest footballers of his generation. “Everything together made him an exceptional player,” the former Chelsea striker says. “He came from West Ham and we had some big names in the team, but it didn’t faze him.
