S-Clarke Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I think this one has got to the stage whereby it warrants it's own thread now.... Valid links here: http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/485295/Southampton-look-to-beat-Liverpool-and-Everton-to-Dusan-Tadic-after-Luke-Shaw-departure (Although they quite clearly don't know who Tadic is, given they're saying he's a Shaw replacement) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2668367/Dusan-Tadic-Southamptons-radar-boss-Ronald-Koeman-eyes-reinforcements.html and a dutch source too: http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/buitenlands/22785786/__Koeman_shopt_in_eredivisie__.html And he's an obligatory youtube video: I'd see it as a bit of a coup if we get him to be honest, and given our financial strength, FC Twente's financial situation, our requirement for a player of his style and RK's admiration of the player....it seems very possible.
Turkish Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Express say he's a defender and we want him to replace Shaw the mail says he's a midfielder and replacing Lallana.
Ludwig Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Never been a big fan of the YouTube clips, but at least in the old days they used to be highlights of goals, assists and skills........i turned that off after a minute and a half of nothing. That surely cant be his highlights? Maybe it gets better later, but I'm off to watch Colombia v Uruguay.

That surely cant be his highlights? Maybe it gets better later, but I'm off to watch Colombia v Uruguay. TBF there were other videos, but from like 2/3 years ago. This was the only recent one, and it's actually quite interestingly, showing his input into FC Twente's match against RK's Feyernord last season.
SNSUN Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Express say he's a defender and we want him to replace Shaw the mail says he's a midfielder and replacing Lallana. All the qualities of a Rudi Skacel or Jim Brennan then. Sounds promising. I know nothing of Tadic, but the stats look good and people are positive about him on here. Without looking I'm sure he's also good in Football Manager. For that reason, I'm on board! Seriously though, replacing Lallana will be no easy feat. If he comes here and does as well, if not better than Lallana, it will be an outstanding bit of business. I'm assuming he's not another Steve De Ridder....
Whitey Grandad Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Express say he's a defender and we want him to replace Shaw the mail says he's a midfielder and replacing Lallana. If he can do the jobs of two players at the same time then we're laughing.
Weston Saint Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Have to say if we can get him for £10m as Adam Lallana replacement our loss is an English born player but our gain is a player of at least equal ability/age and money in the bank on the deal. Yes please.

That surely cant be his highlights? Maybe it gets better later, but I'm off to watch Colombia v Uruguay. Its his every touch in one match, so its clearly not going to be as spectacular as a highlights package of his best bits over a a number of seasons.

OldNick Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 :blush:I don't follow world football, and so have never heard of him
shurlock Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Not seen much of him but know Martinez has been interested for a while. If the hipsters give him the Danny Welbeck seal of approval, I'm in.
Weston Saint Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Does the Englishness only matter if we're in European competitions?It matters to me as a supporter.
CB Fry Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 I've read his Wikipedia page and I am in. Get this deal done, Les, FFS.
Badger Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 As asked on an earlier thread, does he offer any pace as well, or just Lallana-like nifty footwork ?
grezz Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Not a Cruyff turn in sight and he has a normal haircut. Also, I signed him for Doncaster in my FM game for 10 minutes and he didn't go to the press and agitate for a move once. He's a rubbish replacement AL.
Deanovski Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 he plays on the left, he plays on the right dusan tadic makes lallana look ****e.
Turkish Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Does the Englishness only matter if we're in European competitions? And on our moral compass where we can smugly critise the big clubs for not developing their own players as our only comfort blanket.

I prefer to be deluded with videos like the De Ridder efforts
Cheam Saint Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 cant believe this isn´t up yet Can you do a FM comparison with Lallana?
JakkoUK Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 cant believe this isn´t up yet That must be a few years old... isn't Tadic 25 now?
Olallana Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 That must be a few years old... isn't Tadic 25 now? from FM13 but couldn´t find the one from FM14 now.....but on the other hand, Lallanas is also from FM13 so the comparison is there to make
shurlock Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Did MLG do the ratings for Lallana? They're terrible.
Saint Matty 76 Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 Did MLG do the ratings for Lallana? They're terrible. They're ratings based on last season I presume, he'll look a lot better for next years game. Also MLG will have some input but won't be able to be too biased.
Matthew Le God Posted 28 June, 2014 Posted 28 June, 2014 (edited) Did MLG do the ratings for Lallana? They're terrible. That isn't him from FM14, its from FM13 when he hadn't played in the Premier League. They're ratings based on last season I presume, he'll look a lot better for next years game. He said the screenshots are from FM13, so its based on how he was after a season in the Championship in the 2011/12 season. In the January update for FM14 Lallana is one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League. Also MLG will have some input but won't be able to be too biased. I have a lot more than just "some input" into how he is in the game. Edited 28 June, 2014 by Matthew Le God
Convict Colony Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 He is in come great company in the goal team of the year in the eredivisie: In same company as Clasie, Depay, Blind etc http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2014/05/09/4802260/eredivisie-team-of-the-season-blind-clasie-depay-feature
Aussie_Chef Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 Supposedly making his decision today or tomorrow bw us and sevilla, being in Australia and not aware of when news drops on weekends over there or not? Excited about this lad!
red&white56 Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 If Tadic is any good, we'll sell him next summer Is this the new Southampton Way?

Dig Dig Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 Is this the new Southampton Way? Yep, as long as a bigger club wants one of our players, we just let them go.
Faz Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 Yep, as long as a bigger club wants one of our players, we just let them go. That funny, because I thought we sold players who wanted to leave for rather a lot of money. Just out of interest, what would you do differently, apart from hand-cuffing them to the team bus?
UpweySaint Posted 29 June, 2014 Posted 29 June, 2014 That funny, because I thought we sold players who wanted to leave for rather a lot of money. Just out of interest, what would you do differently, apart from hand-cuffing them to the team bus? Was that an option? Quick, somebody get Dejan!

Saint Charlie Posted 30 June, 2014 Posted 30 June, 2014 Getting closer apparently. http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1017/Buitenlands-voetbal/article/detail/3681566/2014/06/30/Dusan-Tadic-bijna-van-Southampton.dhtml Tidy pen taker from the videos.

A quick translation on the ever reliable google makes it sound like he's told Koeman he wants to sign. The fact he takes good penalties is a bonus. Is Pelle the main penalty taker at Feyenoord?

From comparing the two Tadic appears to have a better technique for pens but always good to have options.
washsaint Posted 30 June, 2014 Posted 30 June, 2014 Potentially a pretty exciting signing.....ready made Lallana replacement for 40% of the cost of Lallana. If it comes off this could be great business.
The Cat Posted 30 June, 2014 Posted 30 June, 2014 Here's a chant we can steal for him. [video=youtube;nkY6gPm1-cs]
Bewildered Posted 30 June, 2014 Posted 30 June, 2014 84 - Only Dusan Tadic (133) and Memphis Depay (87) created more chances than Quincy Promes (84) this Eredivisie season. Promise. Fair to say Tadic might add some creativity.
Bucks Saint Posted 30 June, 2014 Posted 30 June, 2014 Fair to say Tadic might add some creativity. Seriously needed when Lallana goes.
View From The Top Posted 30 June, 2014 Posted 30 June, 2014 IF we get him as a replacement for Lallana for around £10m then we have done a fantastic bit of business. Even better if he can get past 70mins every game.
