Former Premier League striker Gabby Agbonlahor has compared Nottingham Forest's summer transfer business to a computer game.
Forest made 22 signings during the summer, with more than £150million spent. Big fees were paid for the likes of Morgan Gibbs-White, Emmanuel Dennis, Orel Mangala, Neco Williams and Taiwo Awoniyi.
Steve Cooper saw his squad from last season's Championship play-off winning team depleted quickly with Djed Spence, Keinan Davis and James Garner all returning to their parent clubs following successful loan spells.

Some have questioned the number of signings made, though Cooper has defended the decision previously. However, the Reds have endured a difficult start to the season, with them sat second from bottom ahead of Monday night's trip to Leicester City.
Speaking ahead of the first East Midlands derby of the campaign, Aston Villa old boy Agbonlahor has revealed his prediction for the Reds this season and given his verdict on the club's recruitment policy.
"The business that Forest did, I found it funny," he said on talkSPORT's 'Face-off'.
"Just everyday waking up and putting on Sky Sports News or seeing talkSPORT alerts on Twitter, they've signed someone else and they're in for him. I used to play Football Manager/Championship Manager, it was like that."
When asked who he believes will go down out of the Reds and the Foxes, Agbonlahor said: "I'm going to say Leicester because they're not playing like a team.
"The players that they've got should be nowhere near where they are, but they don't look interested, some of them. They're not playing like a team. They could lose players in January, Forest don't need to sell any players. Maddison and Tielemans could go in January."
