Matt Targett: set to sign for Leeds United (Wilson) / no he isn't (Ryder)

[Fak]

£17m can't complain about that at all.

[Turnbull2000]

Where did you get £17m from?!!

 

Find that hard to believe. He's hardly played over the years. Worth more like £7m - but even that feels generous.

£17m??!?!

[Kid Icarus]

Allow me to cirsumvent the japes

 

[JonBez comesock]

Yeah - Peanuts 

[MagCA]

Why would Leeds need him? They have two left backs already. 
 

Can’t see this one being a go-er but I’m happy to be proven wrong (again). 

[SUPERTOON]

I’m just surprised it may be permanent tbh.

[Hanshithispantz]

He'll easily be their best fullback if he gets back to his standard Matt Targett 7/10 every week

Junior Firpo is out long term I think.

And he’s shit.

Just spoke to my Leeds supporting mate, and he reckons £7m.

Wouldn't say no to 7m for him tbh. Surplus to requirements for us. 

 

We can assume Kelly is staying if we ship out Matty T as well.

Chronicle saying Leeds are denying it.

Interesting one Targett, on paper he's a really good backup LB (certainly our best) but obviously he's never really been available. 

 

Frees up a squad place and some wages I guess.

[LiquidAK]

Great player when fit and has been unlucky with injuries. One we realistically need to move on though. Happy he's found a good move if this comes off, he should easily start for them.

Absolutely mad they could fit some proper journalism in between all the articles about what various parts of town looked like in the 80s.

[TheBrownBottle]

Do Leeds even need a LB?  Firpo and Byram are canny footballers and both play LB. 

[Sima]

Not like The Chronicle/Paperback to piss on our chips.

Interesting if true. Somehow disappointed, but obviously I can't complain. Limits our options in terms of other outgoings mind. Was thinking last night that if Longstaff left and we have an injury crisis, an emergency option would be to push Hall into midfield. 

 

Or Targett. Always intrigued to know how that experiment as a DM at Old Trafford would've turned out if his hamstring hadn't gone after 5 minutes. It was one of Eddie's more creative ideas. Think that was the final moment of his real career here.

[DevonGeordie]

Am I correct in thinking Matty Targett’s on over 100k a week? 
 

If so £7+million and his wages off the book/into Isak’s new contract seems pretty good business.

No, the 100k a week is nonsense.

Shhhh 

[Bunk Moreland]

Wilson still more reliable than anyone who has rubbished this so far, and he seemed pretty certain. Wonder what the Leeds-specific journos are saying
