00:00There has been stuff that's been reported over the course of this week by colleagues
00:09in the North East suggesting that Leeds have been after Matt Targett from Newcastle.
00:15Graeme, what's the latest on that because there's been very much conflicting information
00:21on that one.
00:22Yes.
00:23Is Targett a target?
00:24Well, it depends very much who you read or listen to, but ultimately we speak to Leeds
00:30United and there is bafflement at Leeds as to this one, and not only as to this one,
00:37but the strength of the reports that are suggesting that a deal could be done by the weekend,
00:41that they're in final round of talks.
00:45Someone is spinning that yarn up north, so it's coming from somewhere.
00:51The calibre of journalists that's reporting it is such that he's not just made it up.
00:58So it's coming from somewhere.
00:59Someone's saying it, selling this idea, but Leeds appear genuinely baffled as to where
01:05it's come from because they say they're not in for him.
01:08The argument and the logic makes sense because do you need a left back right now?
01:14Well, no, because Firpo and Byram and Schmidt are there.
