Countless players get slated in one team and excel in another with different manager and different football. As an example I give you Albrighton. Apparantly not good enough for us. I still remember the stick he got. Grealish was shit according to many not too many moons ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Would Ruben Vinagre have been worth a look at this price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) You won't get Vinagre for anywhere close to £14m, you'd have to at least double that, and even then he wouldn't come to us as being linked to much bigger clubs.

useless Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 He's only 20 and very highly rated, Liverpool and Barcelona being linked with him. I think the general opinion is that as his career advances he'll become more a left-winger, left-sided attacker, as happened with Bale, and Sessegnon.

mikeyp102 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Transfer prices are crazy, but you have to pay. No idea about Targett never seen him play. But if he can pick a pass and has a good cross likely to fit into our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Noy surprised Soton didnt see the best of him. Hes a player whos strength is his passing and crossing abiltity. He'll thrive in a more creative team like he did at Fulham where they played football and had a proper target man to make the most of his crossing ability. You couldnt find a more useless strikeforce than Southampton's for much of last season. He'd be in the final 3rd look up and have nothing to aim at. Take away any players strengths and they will look average. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a lot to do with the fact they have seen him up against the best wingers in the top division, who will possess some serious pace. It's not hard to look quick against some of the wingers in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still seems like an exciting signing though and an age where he can improve/get better hopefully. Happy with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted June 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2019 I don't know much about him, but I have watched Taylor play for about 4 years and I think there's little chance that Targett is not an upgrade on him. So I'm happy with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted June 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2019 They talk about a lack of pace but I wonder how he compares against Taylor in this aspect? Must admit I've never considered his pace that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m expecting too much, but if we’re signing players from Southampton, I want us to be buying the kind of player who is going to cause uproar amongst their fans because he’s being sold. In Targett’s case, it seems to be a collective shrug of the shoulders. Southampton have a very good left back in Bertrand, but they need money to strengthen in other areas. I think they would like to keep Targett as they seem to get decent results when he plays, but the guy has started less than 50 first team matches in his career and at the age of 23 he really needs to be playing every week if he's to maximise his potential.

M_Afro Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I remember all those years ago that big Ron signed a left back from Liverpool who their fans thought was too slow and weak. My Dad took me to see him make his debut at Sheff Wednesday. He scored and had a stormer. No surprise when Liverpool re-signed him all those years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take away any players strengths and they will look average. Southampton have brought through a hell of a lot of youth players, they're one of the best in the country in terms of their academy and bringing through youth. This guy's 23 and hasn't managed to make much of an impression in 5 years. This seems like a lot of money for a PL fringe player. When the other teams fans are rubbing their hands together, delighted with the money they've got for one of their players, it's a worrying sign. To be fair to him, he was good at Fulham, so hopefully he can make the step up as a regular starter. Edited June 29, 2019 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 He was one of Fulham's best players and their fans were gutted when they couldn't sign him on a permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robbie09 Posted June 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2019 Can’t quite understand all the negativity - for the first time in a long while we have a head coach and coaching team that know what they’re doing. Part of the coaching team is one of England’s best defenders in the last 15 years who will i assume have an opinion on signings. if these guys think it’s a good deal then I’ll certainly trust them rather than a section of misguided Saints fans. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
