saint1977 Posted 30 July, 2018 Share Posted 30 July, 2018 Fulham back in at £12m according to this: https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-fulham-return-with-improved-offer-for-southampton-star Could be on his way for £15-18m, £12m is too low. If FF went to Burnley in loan, that might free up enough for a striker target, and let’s face it, the club needs one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 30 July, 2018 Share Posted 30 July, 2018 Do people honestly view Teamtalk as a reliable source? I was getting trolled by them back on Teletext haha Back in '94 I when I was 13, we beat Norwich 5-4 with Monkou getting the winner in injury time. I was watching the scores increase on Ceefax and got excited so rang TeamTalk to listen to the last 10 minutes of commentary using my parent's landline. Worth every penny of course with Monkou's winner, but I got a bit of a rollocking when the bill came through... On topic, with Targett I do think we'd sell if an offer of £15 million+ came in, however it does seem the club are keen to keep hold of him. With McQueen also in the squad, if the money was right, I'd reluctantly sell Targett if it meant strengthening our attack, which right now is the area that concerns me most. If Hughes plans on playing wing backs, Bertrand and McQueen would do a job there, but I'm not sure Targett has the pace from what I've seen of him. It's an area that could be strengthened.

Dusic Posted 30 July, 2018 Share Posted 30 July, 2018 Sounds like Fulham in for Targett again - £12m offer apparently which must be getting close to acceptable? For me he is miles better than McQueen but nowhere near Bertrand. Kind of makes sense to let him go, assuming Bertrand stays and signs a new contract. If Bertrand leaves next summer and we have sold Targett this summer then its less sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 31 July, 2018 Share Posted 31 July, 2018 Loathe to move on one of our own and he has a sweet left foot but he's always been done by pace and the Prem gets faster each year. Assuming Bertrand stays, McQueen is a capable backup (even if not as good as Targett) and the £15m goes towards strengthening other areas then its a good 'opportunity' sale.

If there's somebody we really want to sign and we if we HAVE to sell in-order to buy them, then Targett must be near the top of the list as you mention because we have 3 players for 1 position at left-back.

According to some Fulham fans I know, he linked well with Ream and Sessignon; but he was a hardly a standout player and fell away a bit towards the end of the season. £10m seems a fair valuation given he’s familiar with their system.

Dellman Posted 31 July, 2018 Share Posted 31 July, 2018 Why do posters think £15m is high? He's young, a very decent player as Fulham found out over a whole season and he is improving with match experience. The way prices are at the moment Fulham are getting a bargain. I agree we should let him go because we happen to be well covered at LB (and have been for about 20 years) Its other parts need investment and £15m won't go far.

Greenridge Posted 1 August, 2018 Share Posted 1 August, 2018 Guess we're giving up on this academy pathway brand if we sell him. Think we'll regret it. He's way ahead of McQueen. No not as good as Bertrand yet, but that only happens by playing. Bertrand didn't settle and do really well until coming here really. If we're going 352 I'd rather play them both in some games, more experience and pace in the back 3 that way. If we're going to be playing 3/5 at the back then McQueen is a far better option than Targett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 1 August, 2018 Share Posted 1 August, 2018 Their first bid was £10m Les said try £25m They balked! Unsure if they have come back in yet. I expect so given our current situation (Bloated squad with the need to sell) Obviously Les doesn’t expect £25m, it’s just the norm to ask for loads at the start of negotiations. A deal would be done around £18m. Also, seen a lot of wage variations on other threads such as the Fraser Forster one. Wages are complicated and aren’t just paid by the club. Eg While in the championship, we had a player on £40k a week, but £15k of that was paid by Adidas. So figures can be misleading. So Targett at the same price as Lucas Digne......don't think we'll be seeing that deal at any time soon really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 1 August, 2018 Share Posted 1 August, 2018 So why have the Club dilly, dallied all summer over this one especially if money really is tight and they need £15m for Targett before that can go out and buy a striker? Leaving it all a bit late unless they had worried that Bertie might be off to Man C. Guess we'll never know. As for Sessignon coming the the other way. Too fanciful as he's bigger than us now.

Don't think 15m will be enough if he can play both sides like that. Yep. We should keep hold of him, he can cover both positions and also lay down a challenge for a starting place given Cedric is likely to miss first 1-2 games. McQueen looked lost playing there and won't be good enough cover if we aren't intending to sign a new RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
