Or obligation to buy? It’s not like he needs game time to develop, he’s 26. All it does is make our squad depth worse. I'm sure there would be - there needs to be something in it for us. If they've paid £5 for the rest of the season, for example, then it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Just now, Demitri_C said: This has to be the worst deal purslow and co have done since coming to the club. A complete shambles letting a quality left back leave on loan with no memtion whether there is a obligation to buy. Absolutely pathetic. All it takes is a injury to digne or poor form and what do we do??? Play young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desensitized43 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I’m absolutely furious about this. Not because I think we do or don’t need Targett. We should not be assisting them to survive at all and he’s definitely better than what they have. We’ve partially improved them for what? What’s the benefit to villa? In 18 months if they’ve managed to survive we’ll look back at this moment where we could have helped to **** them over and all we did was **** ourselves. They're a club desperate to stay up in the hope that in the next few years they can dodgy deal their way to shit all over FFP and buy themselves ahead of everyone else. We’ve helped them do that. Shame on our club for dealing with them. That said I don’t wish Targett ill he’s been a good pro for us. I just hope he has an absolute stinker of a few months and puts a few through his own net 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zatman Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 Disgraceful decision to help them especially when no other team is doing business with them. Even worse that it seems they have no obligation to buy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go from POTS to being the first one being replaced/upgraded on is also odd from the players’ perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew the fee for Axel was £5m. The fee for Lingard to Newcastle was public. We know there's no fee for Coutinho.

Zatman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I actually dont blame Targett in any of this, some of the comments he received from fans during and after the United game would definitely have encouraged him to leave at the first opportunity. Would swear he was Joleon Lescott from the abuse he got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Nothing on Newcastle website to suggest they have an obligation to buy either. Just that he is on loan until the end of the season. Poor deal this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no chance Young is a PL level left back. He played LWB in a 3-5-2 in Serie A a year ago. He’s 36 and barely played LB in his life. If Digne gets injured, this move will look even more moronic than it currently does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAS. A. SYSTEM. CHANGE. So annoying that people can't see that our full backs are playing a completely different game under Gerrard than last season under Smith. Targett is smart enough to realise that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted January 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) I’m genuinely shocked with how passionate people are about loaning out Targett to Newcastle. Am I the only one that doesn’t really give a shit? Edited January 31, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
