MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I don't understand why after playing one friendly against a non-league team are some of our fans wanting to see Cashin start? I'm all for blooding youngsters and if imagine he will get his chances this season. But it has to be the right time. It's a massive massive difference from playing against non-league opposition in a friendly to starting week in week out in the championship. More than ever next season we are going to need experience. It's going to be a long hard season and I don't think starting an U23 centre back with no experience is the best idea at the moment.

No. I didn't see enough from him last season that is making me excited about getting him back. Not at the minute. I just think we need to try and get off to a solid start. We haven't got much in the way of attacking talent. I mean we have exactly the same attacking players as last season, minus Waghorn. And last season our attacking threat was an embarrassment. So clean sheets are going to be vital. I'm not saying I wouldn't blood Cashin if possible. But not to start with. I'd be going with experience if possible. Just my opinion.

Well my point was Mengi isn't much more experienced than Championship level than Cashin, but I bet Utd would expect him to start. Not the same player and potential perhaps but same situation maybe. FWIW I'd prefer two experienced CBs, but it also depends on who else we could sign. We are desperate for a goal scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Davies, Jags, Cashin and Mengi would be a good blend of youth and experience. Agree we really need a striker though. There must be several about Edited August 2, 2021 by EnigmaRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 As good as Cashin done it was against a quite poor Notts County side for me. But he would benefit greatly from being used alongside Jagielka or Davies in certain games as a learning process He's definitely not the biggest and a season training and playing alongside an experienced CB will not only help his development but also take the pressure off of his young shoulders as he wont be expected to play every game Certainly a good prospect though MACKWORTHRAM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) I fear that Rooney knows no more than us about when our embargo will actually be relaxed,if at all...which may be why he left out all of the trialists on Sunday and is having to be more pragmatic about who is actually going to play against Huddersfield. I mean,nothings actually changed apart from his and our optimism that it might. Edited August 2, 2021 by kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seemed more positive than previously about imminent signings, but even if not mentioned that there was until the end of August to sign players.

Well obviously if there's no other centre halves at the club then he will have to start. Not the best way for a youngster to be thrown in. But Rooney seemed very confident that we would have signings this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly if any one of the triallists wanted more than 500k for a years contract, I'd look elsewhere. I'd set a wage cap at £6k a week, and if that means players would go elsewhere so be it.
