He’s going to be hard to shift if he’s in a 100k a week anarl. https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/the-moment-eddie-howe-told-matt-targett-he-wanted-to-sign-him-for-newcastle-united-from-aston-villa-3725056 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they probably will, given that West Ham aren't part of the elite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the media about new signings and injuries sure, but those are quotes from Targett saying Howe told him in private before the Burnley game (last game of 21/22 season) that he wanted to sign him.

mighty__mag Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 1 hour ago, Conjo said: Assume he's behind Joelinton, Gordon, Barnes, Tonali, Botman and Wilson too. No he's on more than most of the ones you mention. Gordon is 60k Wilson 50k Barnes 80k Botman 90k Joelinton was 85k but renewed to around 120k Tonali I forgot, but 140k He's like in the top five still Targett.

With the exception of Wilson, which I agree looks low given he signed a new deal whilst here, presumably on improved terms, which of those in particular seem inaccurate to you?

The Prophet Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Surely with the Athletic saying Murphy will be given a chance to impress pre-seaaon, Burn and Hall on the books and chat of us being keen on Kelly, Targett's days are numbered. Probably one of those that'll be loaned out with subsidised wages until his contract expires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 There is absolutely no way in the world we signed Villa’s reserve left-back for £15m and made him our 3rd (or possibly 2nd depending on what Bruno was originally on) highest earner! Absolutely zero chance! He wouldn't have been on huge money there as well! No chance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Targett's been stupidly unlucky. Hebwoukdnhave been a first team regular had he got a decent run in when Burn was injured. I still reckon a decent wedge if that £15m is retrievable if wages suit the buying team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 3 minutes ago, Fezzle said: Over double what we gave our record signing at the time(Joe) I agree its pointless, just annoying so many say its true based on it not being good news rather than any facts It’s generally a lot easier to get a player from another league on lower wages, as they will only be something low to start with. So what would Joe have been on at Hoffenheim? 10/15k maybe? Offer to treble his wages and you’ve got him for 40/50k. Even a youngster in the PL like Gordon, probably wasn’t on too much at Everton, so you can double/treble his money without going particularly high. Once you’re going for established PL players like Targett, who’ve already had a move between PL clubs, and if they’re asking for double what they’re on, it becomes a lot more expensive.

Not bad for a pointless discussion. Again though that same website claim we TREBLED it not doubled. Laughable really for a player facing reserve football without a move.....

It’s seems a bit paradoxical that we’re saying that same website was unquestionably 100% accurate with his wages at Villa, but 100% inaccurate with his wages here….

Coffee_Johnny Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 2 hours ago, Menace said: Hindsight is always 20/20 and all that but Targett was a poor signing imo Hindsight is selective too. For example, he played really well in the last sixteen games of 2021-22. We took 31 points from those games, only really getting tonked off Spurs and City away. We looked dead and buried before then; 11 points from 19 games at the turn of the year. Obviously not just Targett making the difference, but for the difference he made in that period alone, I think he was a good signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
