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! I actually just posted in the Newcastle thread that I thought it could be years till they catch up the elite. It should be inevitable but as you say maybe It may take forever and they give up.

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? Coincidence perhaps but he was twice the player last season in comparison to 19-20 and this season. Irrespective, I’d keep him unless a big big offer come in. I’d especially not sell to Newcastle.

wilko154 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think the only logical reason to sell Targett will be if he has asked to leave and is unhappy at being backup, or if Newcastle offer us stupid money. At some point though we need to sell players, FFP won't allow us to keep spending season after season. If we can double our money on a backup full back, then it would make sense in the long run. Unfortunately Newcastle are the only team that are likely to offer the stupid money. Not taking anything away from Targett, he's been fantastic for us and was immense last season.

Popular Post useless Posted January 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2022 I hate to break it to people but the reason we're midtable is because we've got a midtable team/squad full of midtable players, at some point we're going to have to stop being so sentimental about some of these players and let them go, if we want to become a team that's serious about becoming top six/four challengers. It's no longer about selling players because they're not good, it's about improving the team so that it can compete with the very best. Not saying we should sell Targett, but selling a player for the right price, that Gerrard identified as needing to be upgraded after just a few months in the job, and so is now a back up player wouldn't be the worst thing to happen, especially if we can get a big fee, we could buy a younger player with potential to be better than Targett and more suited to Gerrard's system as a replacment. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Newcastle are close to signing Aston Villa defender Matt Targett on loan until the end of the season, 90min understands. Recruiting a left-back has always been a priority for the Magpies this window with Mitchel Bakker, Rogerio and Lucas Digne all being considered in recent times. However, 90min now understands that Targett is their number-one option. The club first made an enquiry for the defender two weeks ago, shortly after Villa signed Lucas Digne from Everton. The Frenchman's arrival was always going to cut into Targett's playing time and Newcastle have now tested Villa's resolve with a fresh approach a fortnight after that initial contact. 90min understands that things are progressing well with Targett's representatives travelling to Tyneside on Sunday after Villa granted them permission to hammer out a deal. The player is likely to follow them for a medical on Monday morning. 90min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 A loan deal to Newcastle would be ridiculous. If they want him they should pay up straight away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 A loan would have to be a daft fee 100% of his wages and a must buy him figure of £20m+ at the end Same as the utd Lingard deal, take the piss out of them Otherwise it doesn't make sense k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Can't see us loaning out Targett. Unless we're trying to raise some funds to bring someone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I didn't believe that article when I posted it, but others are reporting it now as well. Not sure it would make much sense, only thing I can think of is if Newcastle were paying a massive loan fee. They're certainly desperate for a left back, as have been playing Matt Ritchie there.

Yep, if it's a loan it's so they can massage some money about and sign him in the summer instead If that's the case we should be looking to punish them for it and make them pay even more over his value than we should be in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 We would be insane to let Targett leave without bringing another LB in. I dread the thought of Digne getting injured and Young being our only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Makes absolutely no sense to help them stay up with a loan. I’d rather not sell him to them at all but if is to be done it should only be for huge compensation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I would really question the hierarchy if we loaned him up there when *should they stay up* they’ll be direct rivals with us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
