NIVillan Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Has anything Villa side said we will loan him out? Just listening on the Radio it says Eddie Howe is confident of getting a deal done. They were confident of getting a deal done for Linguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. It’s not like he’s been bombed out for years, it’s been two games. Villa comes first and we need a squad, so I don’t think asking a guy who we’ve established as a premier league player to flight for his place and provide backup for 6 months would be harsh treatment. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. I know what you're getting at, but would it be that unfair to ask him to cover until the summer then we'll let him go? I fail to see any benefit outside of a couple of million quid of us loaning him out unless we sign a replacement today. And it is a balancing act protecting the club's interest as well as player's. We showed with Martinez and the Argentina stuff (as well as his dad) that we're not looking to cut off our noses to spite our face, but everything has to have a line in the sand somewhere. As Zatman said, in this case it could be telling him if he wants to leave to hand in a transfer request and get his agent to work on Newcastle. But that would mean the player losing out on a loyalty bonus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Newcastle will probably stay up, with or without Targett. The guy has been bang average/poor this year so it's not like they're getting an in-form player. If the loan-fee helps us pull off a permanent deal for Hickey and perhaps a quality DM then so be it. With Saint-Maximin on the left, Targett will be exposed. He's not that good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 So if this is a Loan with obligation to buy it makes sense to us as he can't play against us and we can book the sale as part of next years accounts. I think this is the only way t makes sense to me. 5m loan fee and obligation to buy in summer for 20 mil. That is good business if that's what comes out 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Good to move him on, we'll get a few million now in a loan fee and then a full transfer fee in the summer when they take the option to buy him. I assume they will sign him whether they stay up or go down. Digne is much better than him and we should get rid of him while he's worth something.

They’ll stay up anyway, if we can make a profit on Targett then it’s very good business. Is it obligation or optional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he is one of those who can't mentally cope well with the pressure that comes with fans back. And Newcastle fans are one of the most intense crowds in England.

Demitri_C Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I mean this makes no sense of we dont sign a left back today. If digne gets a injury can young play week in and week out? Its a shambles for me if no replacement comes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rosk Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 We have no idea what has been discussed, or observed by SG, behind the scenes. All we know is that there are rumours of one player going out on loan for 17 games after we have just signed a player in his position for a sh*tload of money. Gerrard has made a big deal of wanting a squad for competition - so assumedly he sees Young (or maybe even Hause/) slotting in at LB if needs be for cover for the next 17 games if Digne gets injured or banned. Targett has had a pretty terrible season this year, and if he is under the impression he's not fancied from here, then fair play to him for wanting to go out and keep his career going. I'll always appreciate him for his efforts whilst with us, but his end product has never been great, and he was extremely fortunate to be on the same side as a bloke who had two people marking him every game before this year.

I hope the nominal loan fee was worth it. When it comes to chopping heads off, I suggest you have a look at Britain's history. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I appreciate that, but in that case I suppose my query would be, why should we let him go there at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Poor deal from us, makes no sense. Understand that Targett wants to play but a loan deal is not at all in our interest. Will sadly be a good signing for Newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree mate, I don't think he should be going out on any form of deal unless we have another left back coming in. That said, maybe Gerrard is happy with Young as back up for three and a half months and we look to bring another left back in during the summer.

Would’ve thought if they stay up they’ll be going after higher calibre players than Targett (with all due respect to him). There’s a big difference in quality between Targett and Trippier for example. I reckon they’re just trying to get him in as a stop gap to help keep them up and no more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His biggest struggles have come in front of intense crowds with no defensive cover in front of him. The Newcastle fans can be ruthless and Sain-Maximin won't help him out defensively.
