NUFC Transfer Rumours


Recommended Posts

The targett we bought isn't the targett we loaned (bit like willock but that's coming good). Most likely injuries and lack of selection, but I wouldn't write him off, players have a knack of bouncing back under this regime.

Aye, he’ll definitely come good just as Willock did. I know there’s certain attributes you might not see from him, but I trust he will do a job there. 
 

we’re competing in the best league in the world and we finished 5th within a short space of time in potentially going the other way, so I’m sure we’re capable of playing those of a similar quality in Europe with the squad we’ve got including an on-form Target. 
 

 

that being said I do expect someone to come in within the following weeks to fill that slot ahead of him.

= Targetts performance these six months.

 

those who say he is “reliable” as a LB now, I can only assume he didn’t really watch the game and just look at stats or past memories. 

Ffs he’s played like 3 games since January. This forum man [emoji38]

Oh great. It's now the hate for Burn taken out on Targett. Because don't you know? If Targett was any good, he would have taken rubbish Burn spot in the best defense in the league last year...

 

Hence why we need a left back. Even though the drop from burn to Targett is not nearly as significant as to the drop from Tripper to whoever is on the bench that day (at least until we get Livramento).

 

Season can't start soon enough...

Exactly. People writing him off because he barely played last season when he was more than good enough the year before. He was never breaking back into a settled back 4 with the best defensive record in the league but I'd personally have him over Burn.

I stand by my words, Targett is a liability now. If you don’t think so, fine, let his performance (if Howe really ever play him again) prove our point.

 

For the last six months, basically every week I saw comments like “how in the earth Targett not back to the starting lineup” “Howe really lost it by sticking with Burn”. And, in all his performance as listed in your reply, he did nothing but keep on making mistakes, get passed easily by opponents, and even now not showing any glimpse or signs that he is back to his form pre-injury in recent friendlies. if you really still think he is fine and we can rely on him, it’s up to you. Just that obviously Howe doesn’t think so. Burn was completely burnt out in the second half of last season, it’s so fucking obvious and even I was shouting for giving him a rest, yet Howe still kept him in the starting lineup every fucking game.

if all these hints still couldn’t ring your alarm, it’s your problem. I will obviously @you again once Targett lose us any game in the coming season.


 

 

 

 

 


This is not in any way completely over the top

But now you need to take his injury into consideration. There’s none in the world who could guarantee a player to make full recovery after these kinda injuries, and in fact, most of the time, the player cannot. It may affect his burst of speed, his agility, turning, etc. we all don’t know.


He had a heel bone injury that sidelined him for two months. Is that really that serious?

There’s hardly owt to hate about targett.

 

I don’t get it. People going on like he’s Nicky Butt level of shite. 

 

 

I never ever publicly criticize Newcastle players, but Nicky Butt almost made me give up that rule. (I moan and groan at the match like everyone else)

Alan Smith was up there at the time... He couldn't even score in the championship!

Butt was decent in the Champo iirc. Too little too late to redeem himself though.

 

He didn't even play much in the Championship from what I remember

Always got to be at least one with some fans.

Not just ours,  its a football fan thing. Like part of the experience.

 

But its a right come down coming on here hoping to see some Chiesa gen or someone out of the blue, even some totally made up but assuaging link and find out its just our players getting slaughtered.

I feel like we're now entering our Wood to Bruno / Botman to Isak drought now. Bring your nerves of steel

Not many top clubs have signed more than 2 important first-team players yet.
