Matty Cash

[RamboandBruno]

Just told my 12 year old as thats always my yardstick, bearing in mind Konsa has been his favourite player even when Grealish was here pulling up trees. He says its brilliant news and i agree, a player that is only going to get better for us. As much as i love him bombing forwards, theres nothing quite like a Cash whole hearted crunching tackle.

Good news. I think Cash has had a good season and can still improve.

Who knows how genuine the Atletico Madrid interest was but that's another good tying down of key player in our line up.

Will set him up for life, that. A bit generous, he still needs to learn to cross a ball consistently well and his positional sense at times is ballways. I guess under Gerrards system he'll have his work cut-out getting up and down the flank. If he manages that, he'll have earned his cash.

[Scott Nielsen]

Good news. He's not perfect but he's learning. More importantly, one of very few players that comes across as a fighter.

I like Cash but I am surprised it is a 5 year deal - thought it would be a maximum of 3 years

I would imagine that Kesler will be off on loan again next season

I'm so pleased he's signed a new contract with us it's well deserved.

This.

Little bit puzzled in that I like him as a player but one assett he hasn't got is crossing the ball. Wouldn't you think that if we need him to play as a wing back extra hours should be spent on a skill that is lacking. If he does practice crossing it doesn't show.

Didn't he start out as a winger as well?

Thing is, we're not really set up for crosses. Which is why we score goals like he set up for Coutinho at Leeds, and Ings at home to Southampton. Don't care what his crossing is like when his cutbacks are yielding goals.

[ROBBO]

I take your point but he has to supply both or defenses will automatically structure for the cut back, he has to be able to do both.

Fantastic news.
With cutbacks,the attacker has usually got round the back of the defence and it's more difficult trying to track the cross and their opponents.It's easier to follow the ball and attackers when they are facing the crosser.
With Coutinho,Buendia and two excellent full backs,I'm surprised we don't use the tactic more often.

Nice touch from Fred Guilbert on Cash's Insta, considering he's effectively his understudy: "Well done Cashy, love it".

[Mellin]

I love him. The missus loves him more. Great news.
