huss9 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 to whoever at villa thought of signing Digne and shipping out their player of the year - a great big thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 For someone who’s not supposed to be good going forward, he’s pretty good going forward. Two good chances yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) ... and that kids is why we wear shin pads. No idea how he didn't break his leg in that horrific tackle yesterday. He is Mr Consistent. I think it has worked out well that we got Targett instead of Digne. Gives us time in the summer to weigh out the options, which we didn't have in the January transfer window.

I think we've benefited from him being more defensively minded than Digne. But maybe we would've been better off with Digne's passing in the final third cos we really do lack in that area. Fwiw, maybe we sign him as as short to medium term option before going for a European level option in 3 or 4 years. Would be good to have a position locked down with a domestic player.

Ikon Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I’d be very very happy if we sign him. Solid as fuck. Decent going forward too. He’s the type of player that a team needs to do well over a whole season. Great mentality and a winner that will give you consistency. Happily have him as our 1st choice next season.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Said last week that I thought he looked pretty one note going forward, with him floating everything into the box, but last night was a different story. He mixed it up a bit and even had a few cracks at goal. Howe obviously saw something in him that others hadn't. I'd definitely sign him permanently.

Whitley mag Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 If where going to be playing with a back 4 moving forward Targett is ideal. Having a full back who can actually defend is becoming rare in the modern game. Would have him any day over someone like Digne. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I just hope Villa don't price him out of a move. He wants to be here, he's an asset, but like Diego Carlos, there comes a point where you have to look at other options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise for me ASM best game this season was home to Everton when Targett was behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I reckon they would let him go for somewhere around £20m and he easily looks worth so far but we’ll know for sure come end of season. Edited February 27, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) As loan signings go, this has to be one of the best I can remember for us - suddenly not worried about that side of the pitch. Be really happy to sign him permanently, I think he's excellent. Even if we don't buy him or Villa don't allow it, he's certainly put himself in the shop window, and as a player that's how to do a loan move.

LFEE Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 A friend of mine was talking to MT’s brother at the Brentford game and apparently there IS a deal in place. Guess that could mean playing contract rather than fee but good to hear he’d be happy to sign permanent as he’s apparently loving NUFC & Howe.

MrRaspberryJam Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Guaranteed 7/10. He could do with sharpening up on his crossing for me, it seems to hit the first man more times than not, but overall very impressive thus far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 If we can get him for a reasonable fee ie one reflecting him being a back up and without the English tax then it would be the best piece of business we could do this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 It's only been a few games and he's easily head and shoulders above the rest as our best left back since Enrique. It would be an absolute no-brainer to get him signed as part of the first step of becoming a team that challenges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I think what I've seen with him, Burn, and Trippier is the clearest evidence of how much damage Ashley's lack of investment did. Trippier improves almost any team in the league, but Burn and Targett have looked leaps above those they've replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
