Winter behind, Summer arriving?

So from John Percy on Twitter...

Benfica's Joao Carvalho and Diogo Goncalves are flying in tonight for medicals at #nffc on Thursday.
Midfielder Carvalho will be a club record deal at around £13.2m while Goncalves, a striker, is joining on loan for the season.

So Forest are spending big to overhaul a bang average squad. This has got to be viewed that promotion is the aim for next season.

18000+ season cards sold, new commercial deal(s) and ground regeneration about to be announced; are we in Spring?

Cautious optimism or unfettered excitement? Whichever it is, the Winter has been long and hard, but it seems to be over.
