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...

Gallowgate Toon Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 That is an absolute steal. Absolutely chuffed he's coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 chuffed with this! now give the lad the number 3 and ship Dummett off to Gateshead or somewhere. 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...
AJ9 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 He’s great and means we can add quality in other areas of the pitch. He also clearly loves it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I certainly wouldn't have been averse to us choosing someone like Lodi instead of Targett (based on the little I've seen of the former, he looks a great talent), but happy with the signing if it happens. We know he's good and it's one problem dealt with straight away to enable us to focus funds and efforts on the rest of the team. Plus he seems like a cracking lad so that's another bonus. Good age too at 26. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Love this, was worried it wasn't happening. Potentially just waiting for Ashworth to join before doing anything official in or out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Great signing. Obviously heads get turned with the mention of the likes of Lodi, but Targett is solid, and has a huge amount of PL experience. Was always going to cause issues trying to play and ultra high, attacking full back on the same side of the pitch as ASM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Also means we won’t have half a new defence trying to bed in at the start of the season as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically have some deals lined up (Targett, Hayden) and just put them to him, "Any issues you can see here?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Thought we might be looking at at a more forward thinking LB but that might be a step to far for now. More than happy to see this lad back next season, solid as a rock and his character fits in perfectly with Howes dressing room. This might also indicate that ASM is staying.

ponsaelius Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I was on board for Lodi but if this means funds focused on forward, wide player and midfielder then it's a good decision IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
