NUFC Transfer Rumours


Recommended Posts

I'd take quality CB cover over Marc Cucurella tbh. Guy's a "Steady Eddie", he's got 3 assists in 2 seasons, probably won't let you down but won't be putting it on a plate that often. That Miggy goal in pre-season is fresh in the mind too, what the hell was he doing [emoji38]

The question is, if Schar is injured does Lascelles play ahead of Burn at CB?

 

If he does then that's quite concerning, I think I'd prefer a backup RCB in that case.

The thing is though, we play with a very high centre back line to help our press, and ideally if you play with that high of a line your full backs need to be quick to cover. Look how many team’s concentrate on our left side because of how slow BDB is, in an ideal world we would get both a left back and a right centre back but to me the way we play a left back is more important.

I think we will try to get a pacey and strong left back in, and move Targett out late in the window. 

Theo is the dream but unless we can be creative as Eddie suggests we need to be, loan with obligation next year, that remains a dream.

Targett left Villa for us because he wanted to play, so not the craziest idea to imagine he will want to be playing more reguarly.

More than doubled his wage moving to us I believe, probably not just playing time as a factor. So not quite so easy to move on I guess.

Not sure I buy this mind. 

Admittedly it seems very high for Targett, but all the reputable salary sites (which granted should never be taken as gospel) are reporting around the 100k mark.

Yeah I’ve seen these sites touting these figures as well. I just don’t buy it, we weren’t overly keen to buy him at the time so I’m not sure we would have put him amongst our top earners.

Why would we pay Matt Targett £100,000 a week? Seems totally unrealistic.

He’ll of been on a decent whack at Villa as they’ve signed him from another PL club in Southampton.

 

It’s a kind of assumed that if you move between PL clubs you get a pay rise, and he’s had two moves.

 

Don’t disagree that 100k seems very high, but if it’s accurate, that’ll be the reason why.

Not to forget when we initially signed Targett on loan (assume salary stays same when made permanent) we were pretty desperate, so I can totally believe us giving out 100k salaries at that time.
