Targett Target For Newcastle !
Matt Targett is being chased by Championship club Newcastle United according to reports in the North East, but will Saints want to let him go.
According to reports coming out of St Mary's after the departure of Ronald Koeman, Matt Targett was not a favourite of the Dutch manager who is alleged to have bawled him out in front of the rest of the squad, an event that didn't impress his team mates.
If Koeman had stayed that could have made him a prime candidate for a move out of St Mary's, however with a new manager in place it is likely that both Saints and Targett himself will reject the Geordie overtones.
The fee being quoted is also far less than Saints would be looking for at £5 million, Targett has shown he has what it takes to be a Premier League player when called upon and is likely to be used a lot more this coming season under Claude Puel than he was in the second half of the last under Koeman.

Swansea City to a man : A total unprofessional embarrassment Swansea City presented another pathetic performance to the travelling Jacks, some of whom had taken seven hours to get to the game today.
