Hanshithispantz Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Just had a quick look at Hickey on FBRef. 60% left footedness is pretty crazy like, surely has to be up there with the most comfortable 2 footed players out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I agree it's underrated, his clipped balls forwards are excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Wonder if we were just waiting for Ashworth and the opening of the transfer window to get Targett? Or perhaps signing Lodi was becoming too much hard work/too expensive. Either way, getting this sorted on day 1 of the window would be champion.

SUPERTOON Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Also pretty exciting if we are saving money on him, we may go bigger on other players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Would be an excellent signing as it would also put to bed all the ITKs who claimed he wouldn’t be coming back. Fuckkkkkk off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 90min (?) think a medical's happening today https://www.90min.com/posts/newcastle-united-closing-in-on-permanent-matt-targett-deal 90min understands that Targett is due on Tyneside on Wednesday to conclude a medical after sporting director Dan Ashworth finalised terms. Ashworth is currently working on a deal to sign another long-term target in Hugo Ekitike after Newcastle agreed a fee with Reims last week. The Magpies have agreed to pay €31m for the forward, although he will sign on an initial loan which will have a mandatory clause in order to help avoid any Financial Fair Play issues.

This was my first thought too. If Lodi was going to be in the £35-40m range then I assume we've got a plan for that extra £20m or so... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Great news to wake up to. This lad is solid, dependable and never injured. Also has a great set of teeth. Hope it’s true! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all stacking up nicely. Targett is more than adequate to bridge where we want to get to before upgrading like Man City have done. They made do with Wayne Bridge before they made that jump up to CL quality, although not before burning £50m on alleged rapist Mendy. The loan to buy piece is another great development. Hopefully by next year a better league position will allow us to supersize our commercials. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 For me it makes way more sense, we know he fits in here and he’s solid. Delighted if this is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon No9 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Targett would be a great signing for £12M. And if we could get Eriksen on a free, that would free up some good money to spend on a CB and a RW. Targett and Eriksen are two players who would be perfect to take us to the next level. Then an upgrade on them in 2 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 "If the right player becomes available" the owners like saying, if Eriksen happens that'll show it's substantially true. But interest in him isn't firm if our 'tier 1s' (Hope, Sky, Edwards tbf on transfers) aren't reporting yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just seems like the type of player to really benefit from Howe's coaching. Could easily be our Milner in 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Very happy about this. Quality plus consistency For a very good price too which should give us room to spend on another postions. If true obviously. Saves us almost 30m i bet, instead of going for Lodi. Put that dinero on Paqueta or whoever instead Edited June 8, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I was beginning to think there's no release clause and that Villa would want north of 25 mil. 12 million is a bargain for this cool motherfucker! Get in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Reckon by the end of the window we’ll see something like: Targett, Botman, Ekitike, Sarr and (hopefully) Eriksen. With one of Henderson/a CM/ another striker depending on how much we can bring in via player sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) As said above his attacking is under rated but maybe Howe and his coaches can improve it further with him too. Excellent defender. Edited June 8, 2022 by Lazarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
