True I'd be less against selling him to them in the summer. We know he is limited and if we can get a stupid price out of them and he signs a nice long, expensive contract then it lumps them with a LB that also won't take them where they want to go. In that sense it could work in our favour. If we could get something truly stupid out of them and fund Digne and Hickey for the price of Targett, then I'd be ok with it I suppose.

Explain plz. I think that the 30m is a bit of an overestiamtion of Targett's worth, but there are a lot of factors which influence a transfer fee. Digne wanted out, Everton were looking to get rid. The fallout between him and Rafa was very much public knowledge (still laugh at them sacking Rafa a few days after selling Digne). This resulted in a greatly reduced transfer fee for Digne. He would have been a lot more expensive had the situation been similar to Targett's. Targett as far as we know wants to stay. If he doesn't it is very much under wraps. We signed him for 14 odd million, and 3 years left on his contract, and we're not looking to get rid. He is IMO a much better player now than then. I'd hazard a guess at 22 million. Then you've got the Newcastle tax, considering they are owned by mass murderers, are having a nightmare of a transfer window, and are desperate - I'd say 40m for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We would be foolish to sell Targett unless we have Hickey lined up. Ideal scenario is £30m for Targett and then we sign Hickey and Bissouma for £55m combined. Can’t see any of that happening mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we should sell them anybody until they've survived and the summer anyway, as you say, no point in helping them survive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Not keen to sell to Newcastle, and not keen to sell Targett until summer at the earliest. Digne might break his leg next game - or turn out to be shite for us (he’s only played two games for us so far). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hold on: we signed him for 14m plus add ons or thereabouts in 2019. Bloke has gone on to become an established premier league footballer, was players’ player of the year last year, is only 26 and, until a fortnight ago, was first choice in his position for a PL team. And they’re offering 20m in this inflated market?!! Fml. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I managed to get 25million for him from Newcastle on my football manager game for him He isn’t going to start in front of digne if we got 30+ for him I’d sell him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 For the first time this century we actually have 2 good left backs. Why on earth would we want to sell one of them? If Digne ever gets injured or suspended, we have 2021 POTS Matt Targett ready to deputize, and possibly hold onto the shirt if he performs well. Why would we mess up this scenario? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 If Newcastle want him we should sell for £100m and have a buy back clause inserted for £1 and then activate it immediately whilst injecting them scumbags with the genital herpes suggested by @Steero113, chlamydia and every other nasty. Scum. No way we should sell to them for any price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Quality last year but atrocious this season. He was shite in our first season up as well. He struggles with the pressure of having fans in the ground for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think the Bloke never played in front of a crowd in his whole career aside from last season. Was every game he played to get himself rated and earn moves behind closed doors?

Adam2003 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 2 hours ago, Phil Silvers said: It's inevitable that Newcastles stock will rise eventually, so as much as I'd hate to help them by strengthening them, if we can rip them off to the max I'm up for it. We should be asking for more then we paid for Digne, 35m+. I actually am not sure it’s inevitable IF they go down. If they drop and struggle there’s no guarantee the Saudis will want to stick around. So for that reason I wouldn’t sell to them, even though it’s a long shot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
