Does anyone honestly believe that Matty Cash is a £15m player? Of course he isn’t, but he is a young player with the potential to become a player who’s worth much more in the future.
We paid £13m for a talented young player who, if all went well, could be worth double that amount in a few years. It was an investment, and seemed to be a decent one in his first season. However, due to Forest changing managers and football styles, and Carvalho not responding with sufficient determination we now have a player who would be a cut price gem for a club who are prepared to develop his obvious potential.
How much potential had Carvalho shown to merit that fee? Half a season at Vitoria where he pulled up no trees?
At least Cash had 3/4 seasons of continuous improvement before establishing himself as one of the best players in our division.
