abdulaziz1 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 He’s the third or fourth player we have in terms of technical ability. Behind Grealish, Luiz and possibly McGinn. The way he pass and deliver attacks is not usual from a defender or a full back. I think as some mentioned we shouldn’t spend much, we might find a young gem who will compete with him. RB is the one we should be looking at first, even then I don’t think spending much money in those positions is a wise move. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Yep, his technical ability is seriously underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that at times he's been as soft as puppy poo. Had a good end of season I think. Seemed to miraculously start winning headers from somewhere. That was a treat.

The Fun Factory Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Seemed to be growing into his role. Scored a couple of important goals last year, I am thinking the winner at home v Brighton and the first goal v Leicester in the League Cup Semi Final.

Delphinho123 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Positioning and Speed are his two downfalls. If he had both he’d probably be worth 80m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was that video doing the rounds also where he'd have had at least four more assists if El Ghazi could hit a barn door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I think Targett suffers from the same syndrome as Ghazi. Lack of bollox. Other than that I think he's decent and will improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Needs proper competition for his place and that’s why I welcome the links to Rico Henry. We need players pushing the first XI. He had a solid first season in a struggling team and will hopefully now push on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Just going to put this out there... How is Targett not in the England squad this time around? I get he's not going to be first choice, or even second choice... but we literally haven't got a left back in the squad. Baffling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted August 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2020 We don't need to worry about left backs this transfer window. Targett is absolutely fine. In fact I'd say he's one of our better players. And as much as I dislike Neil Taylor, he's good enough that we can shift our priorities elsewhere. Far bigger fish to fry than this position. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite easy to forget that last season was Targett's first full season in the Premier League as a starting left back. Previously he's been a bit part player for Southampton, with 13 appearances being the most in a season and some of those being from the bench. I'm pretty sure he'll be a good player for us and will show his worth next season with a bit of confidence behind him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 26, 2020 I've said it before, but he's literally the only player in the team who ever links up with Grealish regulalry and effectively. Nobody else appears on Grealish's wavelength at any sort of regularity, except Targett. As a fullback on grealish's side, it's very valuable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack knew him from his time at England U21s and was excited when he joined. Wonder if there is anyone else from that side who could join (I genuinely don’t have a clue who was playing back then). But with Tammy previously, players Jack gets on with, do well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Can't believe some of the stick target gets, he's a modern day left back, might not be the greatest going back defending but the quality going forward and crossing ability is very good for where we're at a the moment. The problem has been when he goes forwards he's not getting the cover from team mates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
