Nottingham Forest boss Sabri Lamouchi is keen to cut his squad before the transfer window closes, having seen an influx of players this summer.
Eleven new signings have come through the door so far, with relatively few heading in the opposite direction.
Matty Cash has been the most notable departure - the right-back having made the move to Aston Villa and made his Premier League debut earlier this week.
It led academy chief Gary Brazil to speak of his “pride” as Cash came up against fellow ex-Reds youngsters Ben Osborn and Oliver Burke in Villa’s victory over Sheffield United.
And with that in mind, we’ve taken a look at how the players who left the City Ground this summer are getting on.
Matty Cash
The right-back sealed a £14m switch to Villa Park earlier this month, and this week made his first appearance for his new club.
Cash played the full 90 minutes as the hosts beat the Blades 1-0, and made a solid start to life in the West Midlands.
Ashley Preece, Villa correspondent for BirminghamLive, said of his debut: “Immediately showcased what he's all about with a surging run down the right flank just seconds in. He crossed well for McGinn on that occasion and remained an out-ball.
“Showed boundless amounts of energy and, judging by this showing, looks to have more quality and control than Freddie Guilbert who didn't make the 18-man squad. Good physically.
“Was ordered to talk more by vocal leader Mings at the back.”
Tyler Walker
Another academy graduate, the forward joined Coventry City on a permanent deal this summer.
And he got off to the perfect start for the Sky Blues, scoring in his first game.
Walker netted the winner as MK Dons were beaten 1-0 in the Carabao Cup.
He started the next cup match, as Coventry lost on penalties to Gillingham, but has found game time harder to come by in the league.
He was a substitute in City’s Championship opener against Bristol City, then remained on the bench in their 3-2 win over QPR last weekend.
Costel Pantilimon
After falling out of favour Trentside, the goalkeeper left for Turkish side Denizlispor when his Forest contract was terminated early.
He kept a clean-sheet for a 0-0 draw against Trabzonspor on his league debut.
Marcus McGuane
The former Barcelona and Arsenal man initially linked up with Forest’s Under-23s when he joined.
But he is now playing regularly on loan at Oxford United, making four appearances so far - including one start in League One, in a 2-0 defeat to Lincoln City.
He was singled out by Karl Robinson for his performances in pre-season, with the U’s boss saying: "I thought Marcus was just a powerhouse in there.
“He oozes so much power and pace, he was a real joy to watch.”
Danny Preston
The youngster is getting plenty of game time on loan at Grimsby Town.
He has started the club’s two League Two matches so far, as well as their defeat - on penalties - to Morecambe in the Carabao Cup.
Ben Watson
Has yet to get fixed up with another club after his Forest contract came to an end, despite rumours of a link-up with QPR.
Lamouchi said of his situation earlier this month: “For personal reasons - his family is living in London - he is looking at a club in London.
“We keep in touch with Ben and the last time I spoke with him was last week.
“Probably the discussion with the (other) club is thinking to sign (him). It’s not done yet.
“We will see what happens with him.”
Liam Bridcutt
Like fellow midfielder Watson, his Reds deal also came to an end this summer and he sealed a move to Lincoln City.
Was sidelined with a hamstring problem initially, but came off the bench in a 5-0 League Cup win over Bradford and then started a League One clash with MK Dons last weekend.
Wears the captain’s armband for the Imps.
