We asked you which players you have watched at the World Cup that you think would be a great fit at Nottingham Forest.

Here are some of your comments:

Martin: I identified two players, after the first games, that I thought would suit Forest. However, as both Kone (Canada) and Singo (Ivory Coast) were subsequently badly injured, I think I need to stop!

Tim: I know that this is pure fantasy but if I can dream...Lionel Messi - for all the obvious reasons. He has shown up on the big stage but can he do it in the Premier League on a wet Tuesday in Hull? Tell him we already have Dominguez and will sign any Argentinian of his choosing.

Rob: Would be nice to secure the services of Elliot Anderson for next season. We can dream, eh?

Tell us the players you've scouted so far

In the final part of our special Nottingham Forest Q&A, our reporter Nick Mashiter focuses on the City Ground's redevelopment plans and why the upgrade is being held up.

Craig asked: When will Forest start work on the main stand at the City Ground? It was originally starting summer 2026 but since the new stand proposal to make it the highest in league, there's a delay; I guess due to health and safety traffic issues. When will building work commence?

Nick: Forest had been hoping to start work on the redevelopment of the Peter Taylor Stand — which will increase the City Ground's capacity from 30,500 to 45,000 - this summer.

There is support from local residents - Rushcliffe Borough Council published new neighbour responses on their planning portal on Monday.

But Forest still need the Council to rubber stamp the proposals, with a deadline to submit any more documents for consideration set for 31 July.

The planning committee is due to meet on 16 September - with Forest agreeing to a budget of £63,000 for the Council's costs over the summer as the application is assessed.

So that all means we will not see work start this summer and by the time there is progress the season will have started, so that complicates matters further.

You're right when talking about traffic issues and Forest still need to trial their traffic management plans, especially when we are looking at an extra 14,500 fans coming to matches.

The project could be approved in the next few months but the reality means it might be delayed until next summer.
