Digne is a better FB than Cash, makes less mistakes Yep. Midfielders, 2x attacking players and a RB are all areas to look at first. Maybe even CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I don't think there'd be such revisionism about the shortcomings of Digne and the pros of Targett if the former wasn't signed by Gerrard. I still rate Digne, he just needs quality competition. I'd say the same of Cash too. We need quality elsewhere more as others point out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targett was woeful going forward or finding a pass and anyone that understands the game of football will agree he was atrocious at it and made me nervous each time he got the ball, wasnt a bad tackler however He wasnt that bad at all. He had one poor game against watford but generally he was a very reliable left back. He certainly could defend bettee than digne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid 10m for targett and 30m for digne who is older. I dont think he is much better at all personally 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he is much better at all personally Targett was solid for us, I don't dislike him, but when Jack left, his shortcomings were there to see. He defo benefited from having a player of that calibre playing on the same flank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that is down to the pathetic excuse for man management since he lost his place at Newcastle and doesnt seem so afraid of competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont blame him for leaving, gerrard was probably being the arrogant prick that he was that made targett want to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most players cost more for incremental gains in ability, the rise in price vs ability isnt linear (as above, it might be sometimes, but as a rule of thumb). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how transfer fees work though. We probably overpaid for Targett at the time, but he helped us stay up, and we made a profit on him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Digne > Targett Not by too much but enough in the % improvement game. Targett also had no heart or bottle. Dignes lows haven’t been anywhere near as low at Targetts and Digne has a higher ceiling. We don’t have any obvious continuity at LB but it isn’t a priority this window. Surely we won’t buy at right back as Kessler-Hayden is shaping up nicely there and why stand in his way?
