pedro111 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Love the lad, me. An absolute boss on the pitch but seemingly with the personality of someone who would have got bullied at school. Couldn't be happier for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Dummett or Lewis really. One of them is the back up and Burn covers in an emergency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they're only undertaken to ensure you're not investing in an asset that's immediately going to plummet in value on account of being broken? (Which wouldn't apply in the case of a short-term loan signing). Jordan Lukaku failed his when he was supposed to come here on loan a few years ago didn’t he?

Guess it depends how much faith they have that Lewis can be Howed back to life. Howe's said Lewis will be given a chance in pre-season, they've extended Dummett, and now Targett is coming. With Trippier and Krafth both capable of playing LB, there's legitimately no space for Manquillo. He'll be off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Manquillo is one of the few players we can afford to offload who would actually bring a decent fee. I really wanted him to make a push after the Leeds game but Krafth took over completely. He'd be a decent signing for someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Delighted. For him and us. Seems very appropriate, given what he did for us, that he is our first summer signing. A competent and competitive club with values. Feels so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 It would have been wrong if the first signing wasn’t Targett. So happy this club is being run properly now, keep half expecting to wake up and it all being some sort of lucid dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Very pleased for Targett. I would have liked a full back who can offer a bit more going forward, but there was always the risk that we would have lost some defensive solidity. Matt is a brilliant defender so was never going to be a loss to sign him permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 2 minutes ago, TRon said: He's not bad, but he's not great. Agreed, although there is a case to be made for him not needing to be great going forward when he is on the same side as ASM. Far more important to be solid defensively, which he absolutely is.

Lush Vlad Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Really happy with this. He won't need a bedding in period in the league and we know he already fits in with the team. Only really had a couple of poor performances, from memory. One of which was away at Spurs, when the whole team were miles off it. Always seemed to be a 7 or an 8 every week. Money saved to spend elsewhere and a solid signing for a great price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Targett is a sensible and solid signing. Whilst the appeal of Lodi or a more attacking LB is obvious, sticking to a solid option for a reasonable fee means you can spend bigger elsewhere on the pitch, where we definitely need to improve.

Matt is a brilliant defender so was never going to be a loss to sign him permanently. I think his attacking contribution has been really good this season. The fact he is so solid defensively probably overshadows his attacking contribution. He makes a lot of smart runs forward and has a brilliant left foot. Made quite a few key passes down the left side that has resulted in goals or a big chance, and is good on set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
