I am genuinely pleased to hear this. There might be more exciting options out there but he’s tried and tested and will be great for the first stage in our development and a good squad player after that. He’s be an excellent first signing.

Aye totally agree.  The whole interview with Ashworth rings here with me.  Why spend £40m on Lodi when we can get Targett for cheaper and strengthen more key area's first.

The thing is, if you want to challenge for Europe and the CL places in the next 2-3 seasons, compete in the cups etc. You need quality cover too. So the likes of him and Burn have shown they’re easily worth a starting place but would also be integral going forward even if we get upgrades in. I was surprised when we didn’t appear to be signing him as he looked a very competent player.

definitely. it will be great to look to the subs bench in the future with confidence instead of a feeling of impending doom

Absolutely, it would have been mad if we didn't sign him given the chance. The speed in which he fit in was phenomenal and the prices being mentioned are a bargain these days for a known entity.

Good signing, canny player who did well last season - the focus for spending looks to be elsewhere. Surprised as I thought since it was so delayed they were looking elsewhere, maybe they were and didn’t fancy any of the deals over this one or were waiting for Ashworth coming in.

The blokes making out like he has the inside track to such a point that he knows what contracts players are being offered, yet wants to pretend this was a move completely out the blue :lol:

I noticed he protected his tweets to ‘approved followers’. Which I have no intention of joining the ranks of

Pardew's not here anymore. We don't need too many left backs on the bench 🙂
