Great news. Thought he had a storming game against the Gunners and gave Mane a run for his money in the slowest time to get off the pitch competition.
Shaw told him that it doesn't count if you cross your fingers whilst you sign. I heard that we had a player even better coming through in Targett, but didn't believe it and thought it was just talk. Nice if it turns out to be true.
when did we last have anyone sign one of those? it seems to have been four year deals all the time since cortese left.
Luke Shaw last year probably. If it means anything, Matt Targett is a saints fan himself, unlike all the deserters
Did Wayne Bridge want to leave though...think it was force majeure (aka being boracic lint). He spoke wistfully of us.
Targett, Sims, Hesketh, McCarthy, Debayo, Rowe etc all look good players. Then you have Stephens and Turnbull, so looks like we have our second lot of good players coming through.
It's a win/win as far as i'm concerned.....we get 5 years service or another 30m to add to the transfer fund for nothing AND we will still have Bertrand probably.
So what do the people that said "but he is behind Fox" and " he is the same age as Shaw but hasn't got a first team game yet" think now?
And Targett appeared to kick the ball at least a couple of times with his right foot on Tuesday, unless I am mistaken.
