SEAN O'Driscoll today said Nottingham Forest's summer shopping spree is over.
The Reds boss has added 11 new signings to the dressing room since his appointment at the end of July.
But, while the loan window has opened again, O'Driscoll says there are no immediate plans to make further additions.
"I think we now have to concentrate on the team and the squad we have," said O'Driscoll.
"We have to look at the players who have not been involved.
"That is the measure of how good a squad you are – the quality of the training from the players who have not been involved.
"That has been terrific. To be fair, the players feel good, even the ones who have not been in the squad.
"There are players here who you look at and think 'you have been really unlucky not to be in the squad'.
"That is what you want. You are not going to keep people happy, but you can keep people motivated."
Forest have made some high profile additions, such as Henri Lansbury, Danny Collins, Simon Cox and Billy Sharp.
But O'Driscoll believes two of the lesser known signings – in the form of Simon Gillett and James Coppinger – could have a significant impact.
And he hinted that the biggest issue was persuading the club's ambitious new owners that the duo were worth pursuing.
"We needed some glue to pull us together. Bringing Simon in might not have been many people's first choice," said O'Driscoll.
"But he knows the way we work and he was somebody who could fill a position we needed.
"It was the same with James. They will both fit in.
"Their performances will speak for themselves."
"In theory, they should be the easiest players to bring in, because they do not cost a lot.
"But it probably proved more difficult than we thought, because of where we want to go (as club)."
