Keyblade Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 36 minutes ago, MrBlack said: Not a loss though is it, either from an FFP perspective or from a how much we bought him for vs sold him for. If you factor in how much we paid while he was here you could argue we have less money than we would have if we'd never bought him, but even then you're reaching. He has spectacularly fallen out of favour in a short time though. Thought we signed him for £18m. Not sure of the accounting, and I could even be wrong about the fee. Still a hell of a fall from grace though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Confirmed gone by the OS now. Matt Targett joins Newcastle United | AVFC Aston Villa can confirm that Matt Targett has completed a permanent move to Newcastle United for a fee of £15m. Targett became a Villan in the summer of 2019 soon after the Play-Off Final victory and quickly established himself as first-choice left back under Dean Smith. He made 32 appearances in his maiden 2019/20 season with the club and went on to appear 38 times in the 2020/21 campaign where he ended the season as Players’ Player of the Year. After 19 appearances last term, he joined Newcastle on loan in January with an option for the Toon to make his move permanent in the summer, which they have now triggered. Matt is very popular with players and staff alike and he will always have many friends at Aston Villa. We would like to wish Matt all the very best in the next phase of his career.

Zatman Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Targett popular with players and staff alike but not some fans Good luck to him.

So only a slight profit in any case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is no indication of a player, as a player. Edited June 8, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe when we sell we're less guarded. If the public don't know our net position on sales and purchases its got to be better for our ability to negotiate a price. Maybe Newcastle would only complete if it got announced, in a sort of "this is a good deal for us" kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastmix Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Always gave 100% (on the pitch, at least), despite his obvious limitations. I'll always remember him for his goal against Brighton and getting absolutely ragdolled by Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Apparently he kind of took a small dig at our players/dressing room? Well it depends on how you want to look at what he said lol I could give two tosses about what he says, because football players all waffle anyway.

Keyblade Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 By the start of this season we were looking super incongruous with the 2 Matt's at fullback. We were going to upgrade on him eventually, I'm glad we did it so swiftly and decisively looking back. Getting a good fee for him too is great.

theboyangel Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Time to move to Other Football! Not a bad player but someone who couldn’t adapt to the loss of Grealish and didn’t show any desire to fight for his place. Made a little money on him too.

HalfTimePost Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) £15m + 3-5m for the loan is a good price. Digne effectively cost us £5-7m. I'll take that. Good move all round. Us announcing the fee means we've probably pushed for us to be allowed to announce the fee in the negotiations. Purslow keen to show when we are getting decent money, not often nowadays exact fees are outwardly discussed by clubs.

mikeyp102 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 In simplistic terms did we make about £3m on him, brought for £12m and sold for £15m? Not the best deal but also the not worst. Similar to him as a player, not the best not the worst. Played a vital part in keeping us up and had a good season last year. Clearly wanted to go though, although he’ll no doubt be backup at Newcastle soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
