Hobbit Feet Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 He’s about as tough as a wet sporting life, hopefully wing back brings out improvements in him, i this far haven’t been impressed. Hopefully he proves me wrong tomorrow and scores the winner again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Just now, TRO said: I would love to play against Taylor, even at my age. Defend, he couldn't defend an argument. Yet he still defends better than Target! That’s the scary thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Fairly limited player but essential to have him in that starting lineup whenever possible because he does contribute considerably to our (attacking) play and links quite well with Jack. Worried about his apparent proneness to injury... He’s young and will continue to develop with good coaching and match experience. I just really wish Dean would give up on and even discard Taylor and (if we don’t have the capacity/capability to sign a new/better LB, would love Amavi back though!) convert or focus on Hause as an alternative for that position. Don’t rate him too highly but another youngster who can only improve. Konsa is better imo and Kortney looked decent at LB last season... I liked the Engels and Mings partnership but injuries disrupted it and I’m not a big fan of 3 at the back tbh. Would like that restored if possible. Playing Taylor is a handicap, he limits us massively. I want him gone or to be, quite simply, a last resort. I honestly find It shocking that someone who was not good enough in the championship is getting games in the PL. It’s the case, to a lesser degree, for a few other players too... Also, Guilbert should be starting ahead of Elmo every time. The lack of depth and quality in our squad has been completely exposed...

Kiwivillan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Targett 5th for tackles and clearances per game, 1st for interceptions, and 4th for key passes. Yet another player that comes in for criticism where player like Luiz does a whole lot of nothing and nary a mention Edited January 18, 2020 by Kiwivillan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Targett is a decent player and will become a very good one. Hopefully it will be here and not be yet another player we don’t have the patience for and bomb out who then ends up in a much better team. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hope he gets back soon, one of our biggest attacking threat. We rarely said that. Last time I could remember is when we had Walker, somehow Bertrand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 14-1 for anytime goal scorer today. Scored the winner against them last time. Former Southampton player. Funny how these things seem to work out. Might be worth a fun punt if he gets selected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Some awful sloppyness from him at times but he does try to make things happen offensively. Hopefully he can stay fit and get a bit more consistency in his play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just him not being Taylor balances our team so much. I can't believe people seriously prefer Taylor. I really hope we sign a backup for Targett as he can't really be relied upon to play every game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 £13m rising to £17m was appalling business. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a better player in the future but surely at that money we could find a better full back all through the leagues! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he gets away with a lot of shit that he wouldn't if he wasn't Brazilian, 21 and supposedly rated by Pep. The amount of people who blamed Konsa for the goal against Leicester more still baffles me and makes me question whether they were even watching the same game.

It's Your Round Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 How much was Targett’s fee? I thought it was £11m - £14m. I’ve seen the figure increase loads lately, both on here and the Villa View podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Whatever you think of him, if you can’t watch that game (in which he was admittedly bang average) and see how much better he is than Taylor then I don’t know what to tell you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
