Targett couldn't cross for shit, I mean really poor, just always put in a shift. Newcastle have dropped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 The most Everton signing we have ever made, quite ironic we actually signed him from Everton. £27m and £175k a week is horrible. We some how paid a small fortune for a downgraded version of Targett. Been a horrible signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle have dropped him. Newcastle would drop Digne too if they had him. Digne has a bit more class than him on the ball but overall when you add all their attributes together they're negligible. A ridiculous signing and said at the time. I didn't like where the club was going signing last pay day players. He was horrific today. Half press him and he is absolute rattled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to wiki he was sold to Barca on 13th July 2016, Emery joined PSG on 28th June 2016, don’t think he had much of a say in it.

nepal_villan Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 He has to take on his man once in a while or make some intelligent passes. Always just stops and crosses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 4, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) He's all round just very very disappointing. Sounds like he's going to be very difficult to move on so we're probably stuck with him which is going to make an upgrade very difficult as we'll need to spend another big fee and offer decent wages as well to get in a other player of the quality we want. Hopefully his wages figure is just bullshit. Edited January 4, 2023 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 A bit of a one trick pony. Always crosses early which more often than not is too short or too long or not enough pace. Would be better taking it closer and trying to pick someone out rather than hit and hope. Great strike today though shame it was blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 We need fullbacks with a bit of pace and the ability to take a man on. Digne is very tidy on the ball and technically very astute but so often he gets into a good position and because he knows he doesn’t have the pace to beat a man, he just stops and crosses the ball. It’s very easy to defend against. He’s not a bad player, he’s just not worth £160k a week in wages. That’s a scandalous amount for us to be paying him. He’s fine for the time being (I suppose), but I have a sneaky suspicion Emery wants much more from the fullbacks and he may see both positions as a priority to improve upon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
