I now know which category you fit. Luckily the data doesn’t take into consideration our opinions, or feelings towards a player. So I’ll stick to that cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably overpaid for Targett at the time, but he helped us stay up, and we made a profit on him too. I dont think we over paid for targett. He scored some very important goals for us (remember that last minute winner?) Dont think dignes been that great guys sorry but i just think for 30m we over paid for him.

Mazrim Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Digne is leagues above Targett. Without Grealish, Targett was useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he is much better at all personally Just to be pedantic, it was 11.5 mil for Targett and 25 mil for Digne. I don’t think Digne is amazing but he seems a stronger character than Targett who could be a right wet blanket at times especially if the game wasn’t going his way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to play LB when the attacks are focused on your side and your partner is a mercurial player who is brilliant at holding the ball up so you can join in. Digne would have been brilliant with Grealish. I'm not saying it's impossible to upgrade Digne - he's not the most dynamic - but it's hardly a priority either, especially for this window.

Don't slag McKennie bc he's American. I hope you are better than that. Mate, no. McKennie is not on the same level as Kamara 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Newcastle and ManUre would have a look. £12-15m is pretty small change these days for a proven goal scorer. It'd be a shame if he left to go to one of our rivals because the chances are he'll score goals. Correct, I'd sell him for 15m though at the end of the season.

thabucks Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Loan with option to buy would be best deal for McKennie, we can assess Merino’s interests in the summer, or buy McKennie if he impresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Ings is more likely to go to a better side and sit on the bench. He can't move so is of no use to anyone who doesn't dominate possession. Funny that we decided to not sign Callum Wilson on a free due to wages, then sign a worse player a year later for £25m and give him the same stupid wages. We're taking a mighty hit on Ings unless we can mug someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
