MaVilla Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 as i said in the Targett thread, i would assume this is a Deano identified target, so if thats true, i kinda trust Deano to have identified the right type of player for us, and how he wants the team to play, so in Deano i trust tbh. If Smith wants to spend 14m with add-ons on Targett, give him the readies! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I think reported bid prices are at best educated guesses at this point, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Not seen him play a whole lot. A lot of money for sure, but we need players. Surprised we aren't going abroad instead, but as long as Deano wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It's only a crazy price in the sense that all transfer fees in the Premier League are crazy. We were never going to get Matt Targett for much less than the reported £14m, you won't find many players with Premier league experience for less. The more I think about it, the more I think that fourteen million is actually quite cheap, especially when you see some of the figures being talked about for some of these championship players we've been linked to, who are less proven than Targett and have no Premier league experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiBoi11 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It seems like a lot of money for a left back and prior to Neymar breaking football it would have been. But in the current market I think it's a fair price for a 23 year old English player with premier league experience and the potential to grow. Look how his form improved when he was first choice at Fulham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I think most of Championship players we've been linked with are worth extra Yep, few Saints fan rate his passing and delivery and energy but question his pace. Hopefully he will have good positional awareness to help counteract this. TBH if he was rapid, probably be out of our reach. Is he a fantastic player? No. Is he a decent PL left back, an upgrade on what we have and suited to the Smith style? He’ll do for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) well apparently Gareth wants him to get regular first team football as they see him as a potential England player in the seniors, not sure if that means a starter or squad player. He's played at all levels (even Scotland U19s before switching allegiance). Edited June 29, 2019 by VillanousOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Have some people buried their heads in the sand since we got relegated or what?! £14M is not a lot of money any longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieAitken59 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 It baffles me that anyone actually cares what we pay for a player! Its not our money and the new owners wont fall into the same 'financial trap' that the previous owner did! Spend, spend, spend! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur Hazdazler Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 My favourite transfer expression so far...James Nursey said yesterday we ‘slapped in a bid’ for Targett. I love the idea of CP rocking down to Southampton and slapping their chairman while loudly exclaiming the details of the transfer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichiBoi11 Posted June 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2019 Signing Targett is instantly worth it. Southampton have just taken our cash and had a bid accepted for Che Adam's. 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add the flair and the more riskier signings around that. The key is that the players you buy fit the system and the way you want to play. On top of that you want players with the right mentality to succeed. Seems like this guy would fit that brief, And if the 16 million to Southampton talk is correct it seems to be an absolute bargain compared to some of the prices being quoted for Bristol City defenders Edited June 29, 2019 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Afro Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Now that BCFC have a bit of cash, I wonder if we could close the transfer circle by selling them Hogan for £15m? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
