Popular Post nick76 Posted September 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2020 Blah signing, hope he does well. Not overly inspiring, not in a position that was priority and not a signing that materially improves our starting XI but welcome anyway... 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are we sure he's going to be better than Gulibert or AEM out of interest? I know we have 0% chance of signing him but you'd know Kieran Tripper would make us better given he was one of best full backs at last world cup and played 40 + games for Atletico Madrid this season. Gulibert had similar pedigree in ligue 2 for Caen and then played in top division for a season before we signed him. Had some good games last season and also some shockers. AEM vastly experienced in championship and a good steady pro to have around even at this level. I imagine he'll probably have similar impact to Konsa, come in play a few games, go out of the team and then hopefully look better in last few months of the season. Curious how good a one v one defender he is. Saw highlights of Forest's final game v Stoke when they collapsed and they conceded a couple of goals from Stoke's wide players running at them although can't be sure if it came from Cash's side. He played in a very defensively rigid team down there so will be a challenge for him to step up and also play in more open style of play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 16m for a chanpionship rb seems a lot. But if he is as good as konsa has been then it will be money well spent. Seems like a quick and very attacking rb which sound promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 hopefully once he has signed we'll see a lot more movement as I believe 'cash moves everything around me' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randy_69 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Welcome! I’ve spent a few years living in Nottingham and know how highly rated he is by many fans (not all...but I guess there aren’t many players immune to critics!). Personally I still think Guilbert has real potential, and do wonder if he we might see him fighting for a left back spot with targett too. Seem to remember he played on both sides of defence for Caen.. Edited September 2, 2020 by randy_69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Cash was one of the best players in the championship last season, I'm as confident of him doing well as I was the likes of Mings, McGinn, and Grealish doing well after we were promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hoping for the best. This feels a bit Martin O'Neilly to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 He could probably slot into a few positions, e.g. winger against top 6 opposition and even slot into central midfield. Interesting signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 If we were spending this much on Rico Henry or even Bogle I bet people would be raving about the signing, Cash has looked better than both of them this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hopefully he is a future RB for England. I always like a RW that's converted to RB, usually means their technique is good and comfortable on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hope Purslow didn't meet the asking price, and haggled them down every penny, leaving more cash available to spend on other players! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been widely reported all summer he was available to the price we took a month to meet. Anyways - I like this signing, I like it a lot.

zab6359 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 A very good Championship player who can hopefully make the step will be interesting as I do think Guilbert will improve. Just not the type of signing that will keep Jack here, hopefully they are to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 From what I’ve seen and heard about him he looks like he’ll be a useful player for us. He’s not prime Lahm but still young enough to keep developing. Like all signings, I’ll reserve full judgment until I’ve seen him play for a season. Tempting as it is to moan about it being a rubbish signing/too much money/no ambition, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is. This place was creaming itself when we paid 20 million for Wesley. My opinion of Guilbert ? His fitness and conditioning look poor - sometimes the individual just can't get to the level required in those departments when you come to the PL from a bottom club in ligue 1. He's been blowing out his arse after an hour of every game. Positionally he isn't wonderful and the overlap going forward is telegraphed and kinda all he's got in his locker. Lastly, if it's not a position that should concern Dean Smith, why is he desperate to land Matty Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
