Shak Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Amateur hour again, seems that we could easily have just waited until the summer and spent a month on this before pursuing any new targets. Miss the old regime on days like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Delighted with this, he`s rock solid. Some upgrade to our defence in the window, fucking well done to all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzaschicken Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 So that's like 39m£(ish) for burn, Trippier and Targett. Class business by us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 It's a very reasonable fee, but perhaps more than that, the ball is in our court. We can sign him up quickly if desired (I'm sure it will be) and focus our recruitment elsewhere. We'll be looking for players higher up the food chain, and that usually means more work to get the deals done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 19 hours ago, Nine said: This is a big point for us at the moment, it defo feels like we are signing players depending on their personality as much as their ability. Howe seems to have an exact idea of the type of mentality he wants around the club. Definitely. You need to have players who are good enough to improve you, but with someone like Targett who seems really keen to be part of the project, that's got to be worth a few million in itself. Doesn't look like he breaks easily either judging how he came out of that studs to the shin tackle in the Brentford game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Villa fan on twitter "good, he's not good enough for where we (villa) want to go" Look forward to seeing Villa battle it out in the top four next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Thought Matt had another good game tonight, not sure he’s able to perform at less than a 7/10. Been a great signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think he has levels above that but nevertheless more than adecuate for what we need atm Edited March 11, 2022 by Roids Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Mr dependable, doesn’t panic, seems to have built up a good understanding with Burn on the left of the defence and supports in attack when he can without being expansive. Solid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) His corners are superb. Been a while since we've had such good set piece takers Edited March 17, 2022 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Thought he was caught slow on the ball a couple of times tonight but maybe think it was potentially Burn's passes to him being a bit late which left him with less time. His corners are mint. He had a tough time of it but dealt relatively well. He was still a better performer of the 11. Just used to his insanely high standards.

We had a spell of about 20mins in the first half where we pressed well and dominated possession, outside that we struggled throughout the team.

Thiago Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Another solid seven for me. Wasn't as much of an influence in the final third but I'm happy with him. As it stands right now we're going to need a minimum of two left-backs this summer. I don't rate Lewis and Dummett is finished for me. I'd be more than happy if this lad was the first through the door. Edited March 19, 2022 by Thiago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Burn and Schar have hit higher heights, but neither have been without errors in the way Targett has. He's just solid and dependable. He's been a 7, 8, or 9 every match since he joined. An excellent signing if we get him for £15m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I agree, mr consistency, a good premier league defender with a minimum 7 out of ten on offer every game. Good corner taker is a bonus! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Totally agree regarding corners. His set pieces have been really good in absence of Trippier. Having full backs who can take set pieces is a massive help as it allows you to keep your more natural goal threats in offensive positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
