Dusan Tadic - DONE DEAL, official and everything

I wonder if Tadic was a player we had previously identified, or if he's Koeman's choice.

 

Who knows for sure, but in February Koeman did say Tadic was arguably the best player in the Eredivisie

I think its very likely to be both, he is one of the stand out players in the Dutch league and Saints scout the Dutch league heavily.

 

Yeah I'd agree with this. I doubt the club would just spend £10m+ on a player on the recommendation of a Manager, but at the same time would want to show support for the new Manager by signing targets they both agree with. It's a decent approach in my opinion.

Here's a direct quote translated

 

"I have not spoken to anyone. If I decide, it will be on my feelings. Schalke 04 seems great, the club plays in the Champions League, but also the other clubs are beautiful, "says the 25-year-old Serb. The Algemeen Dagblad reported earlier in the evening that Twente on the verge Tadic for twelve million Southampton to sell.

Dusan Tadic denies that he has given to his Yes Ronald Koeman, the manager of Southampton. The striker of FC Twente in conversation with Floxx tells that it is not yet certain where he is under contract next season.

 

"I have spoken with anyone yet. If I decide, it will be on my feeling. Schalke 04 seems great, the club plays in the Champions League, but the other clubs are beautiful, "says the 25-year-old Serb. The Algemeen Dagblad reported earlier in the evening that Twente is about Tadic for twelve million euro to Southampton to sell.

 

The left leg, last season's 16 points and 14 assists, also in an interview with Koeman would have already let it be known that he wants to come to the Saints . In the Twente regional daily, however, that media coverage so against Tadic speaks. Also the amount of twelve million is not true; Twente hopes to get more for Tadic.

Interesting. Also not suprising they want more cash seeing as they now know we have a fair bit.

And some more....the Premier League's first openly gay footballer?

 

The lefty, last season accounted for sixteen goals and fourteen assists, was in a conversation with Koeman have already announced that he wants to come out. The Saints also In the Twente regional newspaper, however, that coverage Tadic speaks thus against. Also the amount of twelve million is not correct; Twente hopes to get Tadic more.

So basically all the talk about him about sign blah blah is rubbish. Oh well move on.

First big test of the 'pulling-power' of Koeman then.

they're probably no less credible than the rest of the sources TBF

 

A good journalist has solid contacts within the industry, that Twitter account claims to be a "Football Walking Enciclopedia" and has under 100 followers. Its just a random guy who could be anywhere in the world making things up.

That and maybe his agent getting him to mention Schalke in the hope that we'll bid more so he gets a bigger cut.

 

This. It's all so clichéd, it's funny! Club want player, club offer wages, player wants more wages, player knows club has more money, player's agent name drops other (bigger?) teams in a bid to make it look like player is doing club a favour. Yawn.

Sounds like a great signing! Perhaps there's going to be a triple reveal of Tadic, Pelle and the new kit? Would certainly be something to dry the bedsheets of some on here...

 

God I hope so, I'm not exactly slitting my wrists but I could do with some postive signing coming in rather than constant players leaving.

I imagine they will hold the kit until there's at least one new player to wear it.

Looks good to be honest. Better than the Pelle bloke to be honest.

 

However I do hope that we don't restrict our signings to where our manager comes from.

If one thing annoyed me from Cortese's big signings is that they were all playing in Italy, which came across as a bit lazy from him, especially when the best ones (Lovren, Steven Davis and Wanyama) came from other leagues.

14 million pounds + Dusan Tadic for Lallana is one hell of a deal. I'd be pleased if I were a Southampton fan.

 

 

Not sure his maths are quite right but sounds good

 

 

 

Would that be €12.5m = £10m for Tadic. So £24/25m for Lallana less the £10m = £14/15m + Tadic for Lallana.

Which makes sense until you release that Bournemouth get their slice. So then it is really £8m + Tadic for Lallana.

 

I'd rather have Lallana right now.

 

 

Ah but Lallana doesn't want you. In fact, he said that if you ever see play again, he will be trying to score against you. He hates you!
