grezz Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Not sure if this is sarcasm or not. Absolutely it is. We succeeded this time so all is quiet but if we hadn't then it would have meant, in some quarters, we didn't have ambition. Funny how one bloke's decision to join us over, say, Everton means that we have ambition now. We will probably fail with the a signing of similar stature soon and that will doubtless mean we have no ambition again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARCELONASAINT Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Great, great news. Welcome Mr. Tadic. Getting this one over the line - the first signing after the nightmare of the last month - was very, very important. It reverses the percieved decline in the clubs direction. Looking forward to building on this, and very excited in Guan's little revelation. Get our business largely done by the end of the month, and we have a fighting chance to do something this season stilll. Well Done SFC. A real shot-in-the-arm. Adam who ??? As much as i find you the ultimate depressing pessimstic git going, it is then posts like this that make me giggle insanely......only you Alpine, only you!

Wes Tender Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Dusan Tadic: I have watched many Southampton games and I confess that watching them made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, especially when the crowd sang "Oh when the Saints go marching in". I had a dream to play for them one day; they are a great team and when a young lad asked me to sign one of their shirts, he also asked me if one day I would play for them. I told him that I hoped so. My mind was already at St. Mary's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 We've just sold Shaw, Lallana, Lambert and Lovren - it would take a brave man to say we want to push on for certain......would make him look slightly foolish. It will take a lot of spending to even get us to the same level as last year, let alone better. It was a realistic statement which should be read as that. Time to take any stupid Top 4 or European ambitious out of peoples head's, for now. Next season is all about consolidating. Suprising how many people have quoted you on this post but nobody picked up on that. Presumably we are all resigned to it happening. Staying well clear of relegation and giving a good go in the cups is probably the best we can hope for at the moment, but a few more exciting signings, expectations may start to rise a little .... but certainly not top 4 pipe dreams.

Top assists in the Eredivisie last season, considered by many to be it's best player, Serbian national side regular for the last 3 years, chips in with a good few goals a season, skillful and good at set pieces.

SNSUN Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Welcome Tadic. Looking forward to seeing him in action. A few more top signings in a short space of time would be mint, and start to make the squad look strong. I'd love it if Koeman could persuade Gaston to stay with the promise of more regular first team football, as I think an up for it Gaston would be like a massive new signing. I wonder what marketing ideas SFC will come up with for Dusan? I reckon something for the ladies, the Tadic Todger perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckenham Saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Good interview with Koeman. I've really warmed to Koeman already. He has got such a calming authority. Have heard some really positive things about him from my Dutch colleague and in the press and various other places reading about him, and I think things are really not as bleak as some are making out. New manager who is revered and respected, a quality (looking) new signing and lots of positive noises coming from the club. Even Alpine has admitted excitement! genuinely buzzing for next season now - 39 days to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 8 July, 2014 Author Share Posted 8 July, 2014 I must admit, I do warm to the Koeman interviews a hell of a lot more than a certain MP.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Both Koeman and Tadic speak very well it must be said. Sounds like Tadic is very humble with his approach to the team as well. If he can add some Balkan spirit and grit in that part of the pitch the fans will warm to him a great deal regardless of his quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Very disappointed that whilst he said he'd seen us play, he stopped short of admitting he spent all of last season wishing he was at Saints.

saintwbu Posted 8 July, 2014 Share Posted 8 July, 2014 Tadic definitely ups our stakes in our attempt to win the 'best looking team in the premier league' award. Adam had to go based on this, it's just business. Pelle would be another strong addition. Losing Morgan and Dejan would be a real blow though.
