He seems a good professional and a nice lad. To tell him he ain’t going to Newcastle to warm our bench for some of the reasons fans have mentioned would seem a bit harsh. For sure, he definitely deserves respect for his part in keeping us up and then helping us kick on. I've nothing bad to say about him - he just doesn't fit into our style of play, really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do not rule out us being decent and allowing him out to play football when the reality is even if he competes for the position , Digne is different levels to him and he would have to transform the way he plays left back to have a chance . You do know footballers can’t be treated like humans don’t you? What they want is irrelevant. We can’t strengthen another team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The loan is most likely down to Targett not wanting to play in the championship and take a drop in wages. They go down he comes back and we move him on somewhere else. They stay up and he makes it permanent. Could be that simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was talked about at the time - wasn't confirmed or denied anywhere as far as I can remember. Ah well, it's a bonus then - this'll pay for Chambers' wages, I'd imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 On a personal level I just don't like the idea of aiding Newcastle in staying up, but even beyond that unless we're definitely bringing in Hickey or whoever I just can't fathom why this would be happening on these terms.

They stay up and they will be spending 30 - 40 mill on fullbacks not Matt Targett. This deal is so strange and incredibly short sighted by the club if it happens.

"Targett is a mid table left back" "I can't believe the club are doing this" I think Grealish protected Target immensely. Teams didn’t commit down that wing as Grealish would have destroyed them. With Grealish gone, Target has been so badly exposed this season. For 2 games in particular, a pub player would have done better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't just spend indefinitely - we have to balance the books somewhere and this seems like an easy way of getting several million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Gerrard doesn't rate him and I can't see a long term future for him. If we can get money from this and reinvest either now in the summer I don't have a problem with it tbh. Digne from Targett. Upgrade. Chambers from Tuanzebe. Upgrade.

Dan Burn and Targett are likely to be surplus to requirements. A loan for Targett takes that problem away for them. It’s downright weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking down that side with Grealish there would be beneficial. Targett played out of his skin last season. This season he was largely poor.

It's not downright weird because we'll be charging through the nose for it, obviously. And we need to get some money in, as that Grealish money has surely dried up by now.

Zatman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Depends on the deal but a loan move then we are stupid. He is a huge upgrade on Lewis and then if they stay up can send him back Not to mention I would be appalled at doing business with them, its like they have forgotten what City have done over the years to us. Newcastle will do similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 This makes so little sense. I really don't get it. There has to be an obligation to buy for a high fee in there plus a big loan fee too. We must have Hickey coming in today too. I don't get why we would Loan Newcastle Targett. He's a very good defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 i dont care if he goes or not.........as long as we have cover for LB (which would mean buying another LB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Don't really like us playing a part in helping Newcastle stay up. We have a lot more to gain from them going down this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) If this is the only deal we do today, I'll be pissed. Also please for the love of god can we stop loaning out every other **** player in our squad, if we don't want a senior player then we need to start demanding a permanent fee. There is no benefit to us in allowing Matty go and help Newcasbah retain PL status for another year. Edited January 31, 2022 by est1874 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if we are loaning him out then Hickey or another left back must be coming in. Why sign competition to strengthen the position only to let Targett go and leave us with one dedicated left back again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Yeah, this is happening. Can only see us bringing another lb in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
