He is young will improve and is at a team that is stable and imo assured of PL safety for a few years.

rayk Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Cash is essentially a winger turned FB, Targett decent going forward but iffy defensively. I wonder if we’re going to be playing 3 CBs at the back...maybe explains the rumour of another CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty cash is just a half decent championship player who will struggle in the premiership for a while until he gets accustomed and will be a good backup player/benchwarmer/cup player I cannot fathom why as a club we seem to be going backwards with alleged signings and approaches,Money should not be a problem for the players we want and need,10m for cash is just too much for Cash considering wolves sold doherty to spuds for 15m 100% guarantee you would have been saying this when we signed McGinn... He improves the first team (he is one of the top 5 players in the championship and is forests best player by a country mile), it might not be Billy Big Balls from Serie A but its a start and it improves the first team Edited August 28, 2020 by Steero113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed out on one in Maupay as far as I can remember, but we don't even really know what happened there. We seem to possibly get rejected a lot too. I'm not sure there's enough evidence to back up this idea that we're skimping, especially considering we were in the top four teams in the world or something like that for overall spend.

Thing is the only time I can remember us doing business at that top table was in the MON / Lerner era - sadly we couldn't sustain that spending. For better or worse those that run the club seem to have a model of buying young but highly rated with potential to improve....and yes probably the better ones will be sold on....(Leicester/Southampton) do this. No reason Cash can't improve us next season - true is perhaps not as exciting as some players linked. IMO though it's a good step in the right direction.

Rolta Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 1 hour ago, hippo said: Well lets face it - why do we all sit on this thread ? - the vein hope that some fartys GF cuts Purslows hair who inadvertently let's slip that a £60m signing will be unveiled next week ? All the rumours on here - it's up to the individual to decide which are ones are feasible and which ones are fictictous. Cash would seem to be a player whose stock would rise, who would feasibly want to step up and join us .... personally I don't think we have £100m to spend this windows - so a bid for a lesser name like cash makes more sense... It is true ? God knows - it's not a rumour I would dismiss out of hand though. No but surely we all talk about the rumours as if they're rumors and not facts—because they're rumours. I'm not saying we shouldn't be speculating. Of course we're going to do that, but sometimes people seem to get wound up by a narrative they are basically making up on their heads from pretty woeful evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about it. I'm very sceptical. Don't think he's an upgrade on Guilbert who I think is half decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the plan and likely still is, the issue with that plan is money doesn't solve the problem. No top player is going to come to a club that just scraped by relegation and has done nothing noteworthy since 1996. This was always going to be a slow build and I am sure we are looking at players that are figuratively out of our league, but our place right now is likely as a club that buys highly rated players from the lower leagues until we finish Top 10 consistently. Now we might sign a top player for £30-40m this window, but the likelihood is that to entice them we'll be paying them £150k a week cause they won't come otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayk Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I’d be happy enough with Watkins, Cash maybe in the right set-up but Swift is really only a Hourihane replacement. I dunno, they may all end being brill but having stayed up by the skin of our teeth .......they’re just not the players I think most of us were hoping for.

No reason Cash can't improve us next season - true is perhaps not as exciting as some players linked. IMO though it's a good step in the right direction. Actually the highest profile player we signed under MON was either Downing or Petrov. Maybe Carew. MON didn't really sign big name players, he couldn't attract them, which was why we ended up with a load of very average players on big wages. The last time I remember us signing players of real calibre was about 15-20 years ago when we bought the likes of Merson, Nilis, Mellberg, Alpay, Solano, Baros etc. Not all of those signings worked out but they were proven at the highest level.
