stevy777_x Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Good back up for Targett. Club clearly see that Targett is going to make it, so will gradually introduce him. I know that i prefer Bertrand to Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExSt Peter Saint Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 He has potential, but yet to show he's a top Premier league player. Hopefully Targett will prove to be a better player and he'll not get much time in the first team. On the minus side, I guess that means we won't be getting Rojo, which is most disappointing :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Rojo too ambitous, and out of reach perhaps, then there were the Dutch options suggested (Jetro Willan was it ?) so we end up with a player who failed to impress at Villa last season. Still perhaps he's only back up for Targett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexstar Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 I'm quite pleased, think he'll do a solid job. At least we didn't spend £5-£8m on a foreign LB who turns out to be crap. This way we've still got money if necessary when January comes calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 It does kind of make sense. Don't want to block Targett, but need a bit more experience for 12 months.

ART Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 That is our 1 loan used up. I think it's a good signing and followed his career and hoped we'd signed him before he went to Villas. 2 months older than Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trout-Tickler Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 CL finalist 2 years ago. Prepared to give him a chance. A one year loan with option to buy is an affair not a marriage. Agree, though I have my doubts as to whether he'll be happy to play second fiddle to Targett. Surely going to be our 1st choice LB next season.

pangy Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Bit underwhelmed......however will give him a chance,Villa were dogsh1t last season so you cant really compare him from that,you would like to think with the right team he could be decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggface Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Underwhelmed. Potentially a number of loans, lets be hoping our perm deals are showing some ambition. Was hoping for Rojo, but pretty unlikely really. That said Rojo primary position is centreback so guess we will see. Adds to an area we were very very light but was hoping for an established LB with a promising player in Targett in reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
