Cashin wins Derby Co. Young Player of the Season award.
Cashin the subject of interest by Championship clubs, including Norwich, according to Darren Witcoop (The Mirror).
Quite a jump
"Now jump up there and stuff that son of a bitch in the basket, chief"
I’m really surprised at that, if true. He’s never really impressed me anytime I’ve watched him. Short for a CB, stocky and a bit of a poor touch. But he’s been rated highly across the water for a while so what the f do I know.
I agree with you Stu, he did break into the Derby team very young and there does seem to be an old fashioned toughness about him, but I have always thought that he was too small and not quick enough to make up for it. I would trust Brightons scouts more than my opinion though!
Its really not that complicated!!!
Any half decent young centre back will command attention these days, there's a general shortage of good ones out there.
Not in terms of Irish ones obviously, we're producing them at the rate the Georgians produce prop forwards because the game continues to be coached slightly differently here, but there's an overall shortage on a wider scale.
Any of them that can pass reliably under pressure are considered interesting, even if there are defensive frailties. Is he good on the ball?
You can't spell failure without FAI
I think he's decent on the ball. Not the tallest and not the quickest would be his main limitations. Being left footed will help him also.
Ah, a left footer.
We'll see what foot he kicks with internationally if he gets this move & England start winking at him Seanie, one Irish born grandparent & his call up held up by a family holiday delaying the paperwork, hmmmm. They might only have to wink once for him to twinkle toe it across the floor ha.
He's overage for Under 21 football so that's almost certainly the end of any interest from England I'd say.
With the rumours about Omobamidele going to Forest and Cashin replacing him at Norwich - he may have been caught between two stools and time ran out.
Seems the only ones linking him to Norwich were fans on twitter. They signed Danny Batth from Sunderland.
Brighton were prepared to pay a fee of around £4m for Cashin but ran out of time to get the deal over the line before the window shut at 11pm....."He didn't travel with the (Derby) team because if he had to do a medical it didn't make any logical sense. In the end when it failed, and it failed for different reasons above my (Warne's) paygrade, he drove over to the hotel and got here at 2am.......He's a good kid, he wanted to play. He's not sulking and he appreciates the fact both clubs were fighting for themselves."
Brighton have been monitoring Cashin for a while and are expected to bid again in January.
