Laughable Chimp Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) What is his sprint speed stat? Closest thing I could find is that is Fifa Index lists it as 75. But yeah, obviously take that with a grain of salt. Edited December 9, 2019 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 5th quickest top speed yesterday. Ahead of El Ghazi and Trezeguet. Acceleration is the one really though. He hasn't got that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 If top 6 is the aim for the next 4-5 years Targett isn't our future left back i am afraid. A bit too lightweight, i don't trust him defending in 1v1 situations. Adama Traore was a horror show. But he will do for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Is Targett a very good player for us? Absolutely. If he a top 6 left back? No. But top 6 is not something that will be on our radar for many, many years. Edited December 10, 2019 by Dr_Pangloss 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup noted that too whenever I've seen him play and will need to be replaced if Villa stay up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likes of Leicester and wolves have been knocking on the door for top six not many seasons after promotion - its do able. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a newly-promoted side who could easily have finished a distant last this season. Nobody good enough for a top six side was coming to us last summer. If we can find a better replacement in the summer, then great, of course we should go for them. But that's a summer problem when we know what league we will be in. January is for fixing the gaping holes, and Targett isn't a priority now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I think he is a good fullback. You can tell Jack loves playing with him. Targett constantly overlaps which lets jack has 1v1s. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for where we are I'm happy with him. Its an improvement on what we had for me....I suppose if you want a Ricardo Periera, you have to spend 25 mill Euros like Leicester.

I seemed like a lot of money at the time for a right back but he has been fantastic & probably doubled in value. Lets be honest though the transfer market in general is a mine field. I think Targett has been a decent buy though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tbf they pretty much got their money back when he moved to Saudi Arabia. They might take a hit on Slimani thou. But he's having a great season on loan at Monaco so maybe not.
