What were the reasons the deal didn't happen?
Doesn't sound crazy that we'd go again. If we can't get Boscagli in January we might want another left-footed defender in as Igor's replacement. And Cashin wouldn't cost the world unlike some other defenders we've been linked to. It would be a cheapish way of bringing in a backup defender who has the right age and nationality to be easily moved on if things don't work out.

Cute.

We were haggling over fee, and we left it too late in the window to up the bid to what they were after, if I remember correctly. Since then he signed new deal (he was running close to the end of a deal when we last bid) and is playing in the Championship now (rather than L1 as he was then) - so he'd cost a fair bit more. If we'd wanted him, we sure have moved better last time!

Never got this one. No outstanding physical attributes, nobody else shown much of an interest, not in the Ireland team. Not even that young.
His data must be staggering.

From what I've read, like Boscagli, he's a left-footer with an unerring ability to play long diagonal passes to the wings with the accuracy of an NFL quarterback.

Signing a player like this makes sense, a great option to beat the press and maximise the threat of Mitoma and Minteh.

I was a bit confused by this rumour, but this is pretty convincing data.

While it takes some of the fun out of transfers, I've learnt to just trust the club on this stuff. Of course they're not gonna have a 100% hit rate, but we do well enough at buying and selling that I have to think that, if a transfer doesn't make sense to me, it's because there's something I don't know/understand. Like, it felt to me that we were paying well over the odds for Georginio last summer and Joao Pedro the summer before, but I kept my mouth shut because I figured there was a more-than-decent chance the club knew better than I did. And clearly they did.

So whether it's just because he's available at a bargain price, or because the club's algorithms show he'd perform better in our team than in any other, or because our data means we're expecting him to turn into a monster of a centre-half in a year or two: I'm sure the club knows what it is doing.

Surprised if we are interested in him again, especially as we kind of know how FH wants to play which would require CBs to be quick, Cashin doesn't have pace (and isn't very tall either I think) so not sure if this rumour is true. Happy to be wrong but with Derby having no fit CBs apart from Cashin, they're not likely to sell anyway!

North West
Not the tallest of centre-backs. Height of 1.84m / 6ft. Similar height and build of Adam El Abd.
In comparison, Lewis Dunk is 1.92m / 6ft 4in.

Interestingly Olivier Boscagli measures up at 1.81m / 5ft 11in.
