The Dunk replacement? Looks very similar in play style. Lots of last ditch defending and body on the line stuff.

As it's been reported, we have to have the conversation, we may be the outsiders, but maybe he could be one from the heart.

Perhaps we should make them an offer they can't refuse, even if he thinks he's out, drag him back in. Smells like... victory.

Only 21 years old but has a FIFA pace rating of 53 - Webster's is 54, Cashin's 58 :down:

Looking at signing a CB? I’m IN!

Cashin to Derby on a season long loan? :wink:

I can only go by the videos on Youtube. He looks a unit, good in the tackle, good anticipation, good in the air, but likes his last ditch tackle and going to ground, virtually no evidence of his passing ability on show and his record of one yellow every 3 matches is a tad high for my liking, but then Dunk had discipline problems when younger but improved on that area greatly.

Bottom line - he looks like a decent, no-nonsense, old-style centre-back, very reminiscent of Dunk. But - again - if we are interested in him it begs the question why the f*ck did we sign Cashin, who like Coppola is a LCB but is 2 years older and with no stand-out attributes to his game.
