The former Forest star, writing in the Nottingham Evening Post, said: "They certainly need more firepower, with only Dexter Blackstock and Simon Cox looking to be in Billy Davies' plans, and more width."
Burnley striker Charlie Austin is the latest to be linked with a move to the City Ground as Billy Davies attempts to beef up his forward line.
Meanwhile, Walsall winger Jamie Paterson is seen as one of the answers to the width question although Middlesbrough are also fans of the player and are set to match the Reds bid.
