Is there time to sell him? 

Loan at best. He’s been a massive bust, probably our biggest misstep under Eddie so far because of the persistent injuries. Such a far cry from the player who was available and did well on loan.

Be amazed if we find a buyer, loan where we cover most of his wages at best imo.

I liked him when he played regularly and he was involved in one of my favourite Bruno goals (last minute winner v Leicester)

He’s been very unlucky with injuries but now he is quite far down the pecking order. Ideally a sale but loan with some money off the books would be good for us and him. The lad needs game time, something I don’t think we can give him now unfortunately.

The irony is my abiding memory of him is him nearly having his leg broken by a Brentford player about ten minutes into our win there when he was still on loan.

 

Could see his shin bounce the guy's boot off and put them down to ten men. Targett played the rest of the match well, of course.

 

Thought he was such a dependable player that day. Would never have expected it to turn out like this.

Harsh to call him a bust, he was a fantastic end to end fullback on loan. We all wanted him back, he came back and then has been hurt basically ever since. The emergence of Big Dan Burn in the season we finished 4th sealed it. Tigz would have been a backup to him had he been fit. His injuries seem more bad luck than anything else. Just happens in football. I’d be more inclined to call him a bust if he was just plain bad football player, which he is not.

Just bad luck. Occasionally these things happen.

I wouldn't even put it down as a mistake tbh. At the end of his loan it was a complete no-brainer to make it permanent, he'd played really, really well on loan and at the time the decision had to be made it was the correct decision to sign him permanently. It's easy to have a pop with the benefit of hindsight but you can't do that in the real world, the decision had to be made at the time

It was a no brainer to sign him for 12m, it was a bit stupid to give him 100k a week on a 5 year deal.

£100k does seem a little excessive I must admit :lol:

Not sure if its already posted but Lloyd Kelly is apparently on £150k

That seems excessive too but with Kelly there was always an expectation that the salary would be much higher because of the lack of a big fee. It's why players wind their contracts down after all, but we all know this. At least it's not £150k on top of a hefty fee

He does not earn 100k a week

 

I don’t know how many times this needs to be said

Also not true.
