Tomaszk Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 8 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: I am not sure why people think 12m or 15m or whatever it is is bad value. If Villa were selling Target at an undervalue fee then why isn't there a queue of other clubs putting. in bids? Because we're selling to a side who have unlimited resources and already finished above us despite having a much worse squad. The damage was done in January really. The whole thing should have been sorted then, when they were bottom and desperate. Not a bad deal. Not a good deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Are we happy to sell Targett and Davis for a combined £30ish mill? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villatillidie95 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 great deal for all parties, thanks matt for contributing in your couple of years here and best of luck. Now lets get that quentin merlin in as a replacement and hopefully find a part for guilbert to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 32 minutes ago, Jareth said: That struck me too. Signing Matt Target screams of 'transitional project' - were I a jawdie I might wonder how long the transition is intended to be. That's what i see too, 2 years time and 6/7 places up the league they go for the CL level LB They ain't getting that player this summer unless they throw cash at him, the overspend there would probably be worse than the money they'll burn on Targett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon don't have unlimited resources, they are subject to FFP like the rest of us and they are trying to build a better squad. What should have been sorted in Jan? It is being reported that the fee was agreed in the loan deal in Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 52 minutes ago, CarryOnVilla said: you know what I mean I do. But let's be honest, the players we could sell for profit are ones we want to keep. The players we're looking to sell are fringe players who's value is decreasing due to not performing (through not playing, injury or loans), contract length decreasing and us actively looking to move them on. Very rare to make a profit on those players unless you got them for a bargain yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Seems very low number given that we bought him for just a shade under that. Since he joined, he has been a consistent PL player and our player of the season. Was hoping for 20-25M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better fee should have been sorted in January. They were bottom of the table and that desperate they paid £30m for Chris Wood. Chris Wood!! £20m should have been the lowest we got from these murderers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 £15mil for a player that doesn't want to be here. Two good things coming from this then, as in my opinion this means we'll be signing another more attack minded LWB to replace Targett. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite the statistic. 2 players since 2011 We bought more 10 million plus players from Brentford in that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcGrath_5 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 3 minutes ago, Peter Griffin said: A magician with a wand of a left foot perhaps Quote Villa ideally want to bring in an experienced prospect to provide competition and cover for Lucas Digne, the £25million January signing who will start next season as their No.1 choice at left-back. A number of potential targets have been identified, though Nantes’ Quentin Merlin is not thought to be among them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon get a midtable PL left back that we replaced with Digne and we get money to buy another player to improve our squad further. I prefer the way this worked out for Villa than it did for Newcastle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
