Matt Targett set to miss remainder of season with hamstring injury (Howe)

Probably cost us close to about £10M in wages if he's on the reported 100k a week in the last 2 years for not much output. Shocking signing.

He’s not on 100k a week. But aye, what a waste. Shame after such a good loan spell but the sooner we can get rid the better.

he was really good while on loan, signing him permanently made sense at the time 

 

think he's just been very unlucky 

that is how i see this too.  great loan, warranted a move (and as you say, made sense at the time) but has had a real unfortunate run since. plus with bringing in others etc too has pushed him down the pecking order.

Don’t think it’s been confirmed yet but I know there’s been talk of bringing Scrapheap Challenge back to our small screens with Matt Targett as the presenter

Ah man, if we didn't need to shift him before we absolutely do now. 


Remember reading he was up for sale in Jan but no one interested. I suspect he's here for another year.

Our modern day Hayden/Hendrick/Jogback. He's here until next summer. At best someone loans him in January for the remaineder of the season before he leaves on a free.

 

Deal made sense at the time so can't blame anyone for how it turned out. Wish him all the best.

Shame, because the club are probably relying on him being an adequate option for LB next season and pushing off needing to spend at full back till 2026. Otherwise the club may have to make a RB or LB a required signing they can trust, because Trips / Tino / Hall you can't go with just them. Rule Targett out (and probably should Lascelles really) it's 7 (when we get a new RCB) for 4 positions. Going back to thin territory for a season of Europe / Domestic Cups / Pushing on in league.

The Willock effect, we gotta stop signing these loan-with-no-obligation guys.... :)

 

I think we tried everything to not sign Targett, in fairness.

I think we wanted Renan Lodi?

Unlike those 3 he is a squad player and part of the group.

 

Sures he’s probably paid a bit too much in wages, and his transfer fee is now too much given his role, but talent wise he’s absolutely fine for his role in the squad.

Feel really bad for him as from what I've heard he's a lovely lad, but I can't see anyone taking the risk of ever signing him unless it's on a free for low wages.

Willock has contributed hugely to us though ???

He's had the odd good appearance from what I can remember, but absolutely nothing like his performances when on loan at us. He seems to be regressing as a footballer month by month. Am I being overly harsh?

Edit : He's had a good couple of moments that I can recall, the down-the-line cross into the box from the left, the outside of the boot through ball to Isak, and taking that shot from Almiron's dribble.
