SeanVilla Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 3 minutes ago, TrentVilla said: It's an interesting one.... I saw a lot of him in his early days at Forest when he was playing midfield and used to say to my mate who is a Forest fan that he would be a better RB, he never agreed. Obviously he ended up making the move there and it suits him, he has great energy and is very attacking as you'd expect from a former midfield. I'm not quite sure how that would work in a side set up like ours and I'm not sure about him defensively at PL level. My lad was with Forest for a while so I used to see Cash at the training ground and he is a good guy, committed to the game if a little flash. He wouldn't be my first pick for a RB this summer, that would be Aarons who is I think much better but he is a good player and I can see why we are interested. I don't believe he was actively seeking a move and I'm not convinced Forest are eager to sell one of their best players, they don't need the money. I wonder how much Aarons would have cost. And if we were actually in for him. At say 5mill more, would of been a no brainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy, who claims to be trying to become a journalist, gets info no one else is breaking and doesn't share it until the national press start reporting an interest. Seems like utter bullshit looking for attention. Of course it doesn't mean it's legit. Just pointing out how it appears in the image shared on here. If it is just another fake, they'll soon get rumbled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows... the figure of £20m was banded around but I think he would be more than that and I can see him getting a better move, the lads quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I fully trust Dean Smith, if he wants to bring in Cash I'm sure he is a good player and I'm not against it, however imo we don't need to strengthen at RB, Elmo, Guilbert and Konsa is perfectly fine for next season. Rather use the money to up the bid for Benrahma or Edouard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it’ll soon dry up for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, maybe he'll go Wolves now Doherty has left. Would fit perfect in their wing back system. Hope it's not too long till we can start making signings like Aarons.

rodders0223 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Just stump up the asking price. Get him signed. Give a 5 year deal and get a striker in. Top player. Young. English. Pacey. Engine. Workaholic. Technically sound. Stop pissing about with tentative bids and just slap our cock on the table and get the deal done.

This is going to be a disappointing window isnt it. Just all feels uninspiring!!! 37m-ish for two players and I feel underwhelmed by them. Exactly how I feel. Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash, not sure how I'm going to contain myself with the excitement I honestly think Smith just cannot attract the players. It's why he goes back to his old club to buy players, most high calibre managers don't do that because they don't need to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 At least things look like they're moving forward. If we have £12m to spend on a right back then it hopefully means we've got loads to spend. I'd really like another left back to replace Taylor too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no idea why they're giving a rival a player at that price, regardless of who's lined up to replace him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young, energetic English players which will form good squad cohesion. Players like Watkins and Cash will run all day and give 110%. Throw in the flair of Grealish and a couple of other Flair players in the final third and it’s a great mix. Its a far cry from spending big money on random African players from the Belgian league. And I like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
