Rayvin 4949 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Really pleased Targett is joining us, think he's proven he wants to be here and that he's good enough to be here (at least for where we are at the moment). No need to throw money at a more expensive option there. Good business, nice to see him rewarded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 13989 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Aye. We've played Champions League football with Griffin, Hughes, Bernard, Bramble and O'Brien as our defensive pool. He's definitely good enough for what we're aiming for in the immediate future. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad for us he has though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Targett, Ekitike and Botman for around 50m up front would be phenomenal business. The perfect window would be adding DCL and Sarr on top of that. Of course if our budget really is 90m, some were even saying 60m, we'd need to sell a few players that will actually bring some cash in. Almiron and Lascelles could perhaps generate 20m+ if Ashworth works his magic. Or at the very least those two along with the rest of the scraps of our current squad may add up to 30m. Our budget would need to be closer to 90m plus the player sales, even with staggered payments, to afford DCL and Sarr though I would imagine. We'd be missing a new keeper of course, but I think the attacking third is a more pressing concern. Oh and of course getting someone like Eriksen in on a free would be more than perfect. Edited June 8, 2022 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1053 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Glad to see Matty back, he got his arse handed to him against Spurs but then so did the rest of them. He is a solid signing and with Trips Manquillo and Krafth, we have a few options at full back. Need to get some other attacking options sorted for more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38586 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 It’s just so refreshing to actually sign our first Targett.     6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Just reading Villa's response to this - All of them universally believe Digne is a better player but some are sad to see him go. What is Digne meant to have done to be such a revelation for Villa, exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34190 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Listen. Stevie G propelled Villa from 16th alllllll the way up to 14th, and Digne played a huge part in that two place progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Newcastle bid for Keane Lewis-Potter | thisisfutbol.com  We're supposedly after some young winger off Hull. Of course the source is some supposedly in the know source that appears on a West Ham podcast, so large boulder of salt perhaps needed. He's had some decent stats these last two seasons. The step up from League One to the Championship wasn't too much for him by the looks of it. Chris Waugh has joined Edwards in saying that we're still hopeful of signing Botman. Edited June 8, 2022 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have to refresh a couple of times and stop it again but it is working.
