Know-how and solidity - Schlager joins as Glasner makes his mark

[Getty Images] Xaver Schlager is not part of a Nottingham Forest rebuild - the Reds certainly do not need that - but it is immediately apparent Oliver Glasner is making his mark on the squad. Schlager played for Glasner at Wolfsburg and the Austrian taking charge at the City Ground and his influence have clearly helped in the move for the midfielder. Forest always wanted two midfielders to help replace Elliot Anderson and Schlager offers good experience with no transfer fee. With over half a century of caps for Austria, Schlager will deliver know-how and help solidify Forest's midfield after Anderson's exit. Anderson's influence at Forest was key and it would be unfair to expect the same impact from the 28-year-old, at least straight away. Glasner was confident Forest would have signings join them on camp in Portugal this week and Tottenham 's Lucas Bergvall remains the top midfield target. Forest are still chasing the Sweden international and he would be viewed as the main replacement for Anderson, should he eventually move to the City Ground. It is about quality this summer and Forest have already set their stall out by moving for Glasner to replace Vitor Pereira earlier this month.
