Popular Post Panto_Villan Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I think loaning him out to Newcastle without an obligation to buy would be madness, tbh. We'd be the first PL team to willingly sell / loan a player to Newcastle as well, right? So much for our principled stand on things like the breakaway league, etc. Edited January 31, 2022 by Panto_Villan 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why sign competition to strengthen the position only to let Targett go and leave us with one dedicated left back again? maybe we see Young, Hause etc as adequate backup until the summer.....

Also please for the love of god can we stop loaning out every other **** player in our squad, if we don't want them then we need to demand a fee. There is no benefit to us in allowing Matty go and help Newkasbah retain PL status for another year. Someone mentioned it earlier, but I think the loan was probably something Targett wants so if they go down he's not committed to signing for a championship club. Yes we could say no and demand a fee, but similarly if there's only one interested club and it's deadline day then our hands are tied a bit.

Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 I reckon Matty wanted to go. Also, as " prehistoric " as this might sound to some, I wonder if Heart/Balls/Desire/fight is big with SG, and Matty simply hasn't shown enough? Say what you want about Cash, but he's a warrior. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah possibly, but that could still leave us short in other positions if there's a few injuries and suspensions. It just doesn't tie in with Gerrards comments about wanting a big competetive squad.

CarryOnVilla Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 ffs, he is going on loan. Why would we do this… stupid move if this goes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Brave move. I wouldn't have viewed target as a spent force at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we do this… stupid move if this goes off Why do we keep loaning players out? Surely Newcastle would buy him now as they really want a LB. Other than Grealish, we just seem to let so many of our players leave on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an outrageous suggestion. It would worry me if it was the case and we didn't replace him though as it would be a decision made with emotion over logic. Particularly if it's a loan with no guaranteed move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Loaning him is bollocks, unless there is an obligation to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Don’t understand why we’d strengthen Newcastle. Disappointing. But fair play to Targett if he’s asked to go somewhere and play rather than warming the bench for half a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 They will be paying a loan fee or wages or ideally both ...we are not going to be loaning him to do them a favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 This makes no sense unless a replacement is brought in. Otherwise, Digne gets injured this arvo and its Young, Mings or Hause at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand that - but punishing Aston Villa in order annoy Newcastle is bonkers. Let's take advantage of them by giving them someone is is no longer good enough to play for us.

Cizzler Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Utterly moronic to loan him to the Barcodes. The option to buy is irrelevant. If they stay up, they will obviously just sign someone a lot better. Why on Earth would we want to help that mob stay up. Getting relegated would set them back a couple of years. If they stay up, they’ll be signing the players we want. If we sold him for an inflated fee I could just about understand. A season-long loan is just incompetence. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
