Fantail Breeze Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 A great debut and I can’t stop thinking how much he reminds me of James Blunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like admitting your favourite flavour ice cream is vanilla. It’s dull as funk and unimaginative, but it’s the simplicity and reliability of it. You know what you’re going to get. It pairs well with sauce, sprinkles and other toppings. Fits well with hot brownies, sticky toffee pudding, crumbles, basically all heated desserts. It enables you to appreciate the flair stuff around it. Matt Targett is vanilla ice cream. ? “light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix711 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 1 hour ago, ScottishMagpie said: Know it's only been one game but can't understand why villa didn't want to keep him? What's wrong with him? Nothing. He's a solid 7/10 week in week out. He was voted the Player of the Season by their fans - ahead of Grealish, Mcginn etc. He's good for any mid table team but he doesn't have attacking output for a top 7 team (where Villa aspire) or defensive output against quality attackers e.g. Mahrez, Salah etc. For most EPL teams that's more than good enough and when I rated him in the transfer thread I gave him a solid 8/10 which surprised some people. For what we need right now, he's very good. The Villa fans went crazy when they loaned him to us as although Digne is an upgrade they know he's a reliable performer that they would only accept a sale because as you've seen he's very useful. As for whether we should buy him, depends on how ambitious we are in the summer. If we're after midtable only he'd be a solid choice, if we're more ambitious then I don't think he'll come here to be a squad player - he still has an outside chance for England as 2nd choice LB.

Guest reefatoon Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 The only down side to him is having to listen to my wife and her shite puns all the way through the match. When he blocked a shot or cross "Ohh, he hit the target" there was an "easy target" this and a "sitting target " that. She went to far though when the commentator said "looking for wood".

M1tche Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Cant say i've really noticed him too much before joining, but if he plays like that consistently he's miles better than I thought he was. seeing him over free kicks as well was a plus, not sure why Villa thought Digne was that much of an upgrade compared to last night performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Looked like the best thing we've had in that position in a very long time. Based on yesterday, I'd say sign him permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejeck Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Sounds like he's settled in quickly and already loving his time up here. Certainly comes across that there is a fantastic team spirit and they're all in this together. Can't get enough of stuff like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chizzletooth Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Looking forward to seeing him again v West Ham. Another solid performance and he'll be a long way to dispelling "the southern Dummet" and "no better than what we have" jibes he was getting from folk who'd never seen him play.

Conjo Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Are players normally instructed to keep their mouth shut when asked about the manager and training? When asked about Howe and what he's been like as a manager all he says is: "hard working, fight for everything" like he's the biggest PFM in the history of Football I always hope players elaborate a bit more on their managers approach and training when asked but every player has more or less the exact same answer for any manager.
