Nottingham Forest fans expressed their disappointment on Twitter after they lost Matty Cash to Aston Villa today.
The Guardian reported that Cash has made a £16 million move from the City Ground to Villa Park after an outstanding season for the Midland giants.
Whilst Forest fans are understandably disappointed at losing such a key figure, they sent their best wishes to the right-back and backed him to ‘smash’ it in England’s top-tier.
Things could have been a lot different for Forest had they not capitulated on the last day of the Championship season.
It looked as though Sabri Lamouchi’s men were heading for the play-offs, but an almighty collapse against Stoke City, resulted in them dropping out and Swansea City taking their place.
Cash was instrumental in Forest producing a number of strong performances last term and his qualities on the right-hand side will be welcomed in B6.
The 23-year-old is an attack-minded fullback, technically gifted and aggressive in his tackle.
He will now provide competition to Fred Guilbert and Ahmed Elmohamady at right-back, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if one of those players departs because of Cash’s arrival.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Forest fans reacting to Villa capturing Cash:
