Conjo Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 We'd be mugs buying him for the same price Villa paid for Digne. £15m seems fair for all parties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 21 minutes ago, Nine said: I think he’s actually a bit underrated going forward as you say obviously no Trippier but he has shown himself to be effective enough, very very solid defensively and as consistent as you like so far at PL level? I was expecting him to be £20-25m. He's pretty decent going forward, I just think once you start talking about £20m plus, you expect to see someone who can swing in really dangerous crosses from full back, and that's the only thing I haven't seen much of yet. But I'm not going to complain at £15m, not only is he a very accomplished defender, he also seems like the type of player you want in your team.

hakka Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just looked at how Digne vs. Targett looks for Premier League attacking outcomes. Digne: 4 goals, 19 assist in 119 PL games. Targett: 3 goals, 10 assists in 130 PL games. I mean, I know it's not this simple, but for all that money the outcomes for Digne are not that much more than Targett. £15m is a bargain to me, really pleased we've proactively moved for him.

Optimistic Nut Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 9 minutes ago, STM said: I wonder how their defending stats compare. I remember comparing Dummett & Targett before he joined. Think they have the same number of goals but Dummett hasn’t managed a single assist in the PL. I know he’s a defensive player but he’s still probably played about 70-80% of his career at left-back. For no crosses or passes from there to produce a goal in the amount of games he’s played is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Defending stats may just suggest one is more busy than the other and doesn't really factor in styles/setups etc. That said, based on what I've seen I'm very happy for him to be here and hope he stays.

Wallsendmag Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Great business for £15m! A back 4 of Targett, Burn, Schar, Trippier is a solid foundation to build from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Great signing this - one less position to waste time thinking about in the coming months. Always wondered why we (and others tbh) don't do these sorts of deals in advance more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
