And now is being sold to an extremely rich club who know he performs well in their side and we are looking for 15. For a player who has now played 2/3 PL seasons that they hadn't when we signed him. 15 million is not nearly enough. I don't know what the relevance of the loan fee is. Newcastle spent 15 million on Jamal Lewis. Yeah I saw that yesterday and don't understand why we couldn't push for 20m +. It's not like he'd be on massive wages here either given he was reserve at Saints and would probably be on 30-40k there. Can only guess there's a fixed fee somewhere in the negotiations.

I think the Newcastle machine will grow exponentially and they’ll target ( no pun intended ) better than matty. They ain’t hanging around. Wood probably doesn’t get a game next season either.

Demitri_C Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Some local journos now saying Newcastle are nit going to sign targett on a permanently contract. If this is the case utteely pointless letting him go on loan. If you going to loan him it make it that they have to buy him end of season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Heard his passing ability has come back. He used to be quality at pinging passes forward into feet for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Ghazi going down every week not even making the bench for a likely relegated team. At least we finally got the hang of sending our under 20 players out on loan to teams at right ends of the table who actually play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I think it’s an odd footballing decision given that it left us vulnerable and helped Newcastle avoid relegation. However business wise, I think we probably got a healthy loan fee and I imagine there’s a few other clubs that might be interested in him that will now know he has upped his form and is available. Still think he will sign for Newcastle though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he is impressing there at Newcastle so his value to anyone wanting to sign him this summer is higher than if he was benched with us after Digne was signed. Loaning players out to play is the better options to keep their value high. I suggest if we sign a CB in summer we should loan Hause out. We should also loan Sanson out rather than selling him when he hasn't played much in 18 months. When there are 3+ years remaining on contracts a loan which often includes a loan fee is the right play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i thought gerrards strategy is competition for places. If digne dont play well that would open a opportunity for targett at left back. Lets see if he goes for a decent fee in the summer to another club in the summer. I bet hs is loaned out again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably better to get him out rather than have an unhappy player not willing to fight for his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few decent performances in a poor side and when they play a quality team his flaws are further exposed.

He’s just a big wet wipe - I am not sure Newcastle will take him but we shall see. Another way of putting it would be that it was his first bad game for them, against one of the league's form teams. How many of our players do you think have had a good game against the top 6 in the last half a year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to say that but Targett still had the intelligence to get in the right positions. And his quality passing forwards into feet is something that is seriously lacking in our side.

I also think he lacks athleticism, for the top game. Against Spurs, he was left wanting, just like he was against Watford, first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
