richard Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Some comments on the signing by fans of other teams here:
Dig Dig Posted 8 July, 2014 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. Above anything else, we have to maintain the Southampton Way by having a high proportion of dream boats in the team.
Beckenham Saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 You've probably all seen this, but another good picture!

It's all so avoidable.
Asaint4ever Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 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. (NB: all information is second or third hand from Eredivisie watchers.) Thanks.... Excited to see him :-)
doddisalegend Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Wanyama Cork Rodriguez JWP Tadic new ST That doesn't look too bad! Add to that Gaston Davis and possibly Schneiderlin I think we are pretty solid in midfield. Just need to get a new ST CB and LB in and then any signing from that point on should be too contribute to depth. Don't forget Harrison Reed in midfield to. I wouldn't be surprised to see him a lot more involved in the 1st team this year.
saintwbu Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 The sad part about this is Lallana's beard. It's all so avoidable. Funnily enough i saw a clip of him on Soccer AM recently when he was clean shaven and he looked so much better. I love a good beard but his was unfortunately abysmal, much like his attitude it would seem.
SaintRobbie Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Good news. A replacement for Adam Banana. Now we just need: GK LB LB (reserve vice Fox) CB (for Lovren) Midfield (impact subs x2?) CF (For Lambert) CF (For Osvaldo) 1 down, 8 players to go...
Saint_clark Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Great TADIC CHANT sorry if posted before HERE I like it. Embedded for lazy people - [video=youtube;nkY6gPm1-cs]
doddisalegend Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Above anything else, we have to maintain the Southampton Way by having a high proportion of dream boats in the team. Hey there's a big untapped market in getting birds in to football .......................we need to increase our revenue as a club a team of male hotties will get more ladies through the gates equalling more £££. We could even get the Chippendales in as the half time entertainment.
SaintRobbie Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I like it. Embedded for lazy people - [video=youtube;nkY6gPm1-cs] Yep - that would be good
exit2 Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I like it. Embedded for lazy people - [video=youtube;nkY6gPm1-cs] lol cheers
Saxon Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Ok I don't wanna sound a boring melt but can someone tell me why everyone is so excited about this player? I'm really happy for the signing but can someone tell me more about him? See the video below. FC Twente just posted this on Twitter [video=youtube_share;gH3R9iYOPck] This video just gets you so excited. And one thing I am loving is his attitude. The interview he gave was good plus the fact that FC Twente released this good bye highlights video, means they really treasured him, kind of like us with Lambert. So he leaves a good impression and left on good terms (unlike others we know of) and so he should be good in the squad I am hoping Loving Koeman more and more every time I hear from him. SO GOOD TO HEAR INTERVIEWS IN ENGLISH NOW! Sounds really upbeat and positive and just a lovely bloke. Very very excited for next season Where he casually says maybe better than last season I'm quietly expecting him to be chuckling inside as we do (as someone else said) the league and FA cup double next season as he's already planned how to do it
Jonnyboy Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Sounds like he should be a better signing that the Osvaldo/Ramirez let downs.
Batman Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 just off the youtube clips he looks like he is technically as good as lallana with a more direct style..... lets hope he replicates that stuff in the prem, then we will struggle to keep him lol
CB Saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I know it's YouTube and with enough editing I could look half decent, but I am just a little bit excited about watching this chap next season.
Saint_Abroad Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Agree with everyone's comments regarding Koeman's warm personality. He's always smiling! I'm smiling as I'm typing this, it's infectious!
Dr Octopus Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC We’re delighted to announce that #SaintsFC have today completed the signing of playmaker Dušan Tadić. #SaintDušan Great news, he certainly seems an aura about him.
stevegrant Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Snippet of info, by the way, I think they wanted to have everything done and announced yesterday, but it turns out that Tadic speaks much better English than his agent, so the club had to find a Serbian translator for all the legal stuff.
Toadhall Saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Snippet of info, by the way, I think they wanted to have everything done and announced yesterday, but it turns out that Tadic speaks much better English than his agent, so the club had to find a Serbian translator for all the legal stuff. Excellent! Made me lol

Poor attitude from Tadic, surely he could've translated?
georgeweahscousin Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 As per the norm, I spoke to some 'experts'. Fair to say they rate him... http://georgeweahscousin.com/2014/07/08/the-ball-is-finally-rolling-dusan-tadic-the-lowdown/
Saxon Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Poor attitude from Tadic, surely he could've translated? "So my, um, how do you say, agent, has decided to waive his fee as part of the transfer process and transfer it to me. Oh, and he would also like to have his watch given to me as well" "No, he has definitely said this just now" "No I am smiling because I am happy at signing for Southampton Saints Football Club, I am not making up what he is saying to you"
John Boy Saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Neighbour on Holibobs is a Twente fan and very disappointed to see him go, but gives his congratulations to Saints for such a great signing.
kpturner Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Didn´t know from other songs that THAT was the key to it... I guess not - I wasn't really paying attention.
Saint Charlie Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Quality stuff, looks and good player and just as important has a good attitude. If he works hard and plays well for 2 or 3 years then its money well spent. More of the same please!
Mr X Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 As per the norm, I spoke to some 'experts'. Fair to say they rate him... http://georgeweahscousin.com/2014/07/08/the-ball-is-finally-rolling-dusan-tadic-the-lowdown/ sounds just like la larma creative and good going forward but poor defensively lets hope hes not got the same attitude when the scousers come a calling;)
TwoPints Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 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! I particularly liked the bit where he said we had lost 2 excellent players. Left me wondering who he thought the **** one was
kpturner Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 He sits on the bench, He sits on the b-u-u-u-u-u-s-s-s-s, Adam Lallana thinks he's too good for us... That's gooderer
alpine_saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I particularly liked the bit where he said we had lost 2 excellent players. Left me wondering who he thought the **** one was Probably wasnt thinking of Lambert, simply because he probably left before Koeman was in the frame.
Viking Warrior Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Just watched Dusan's interview . Very impressed.
Viking Warrior Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Dig dig . I will do some training re doing quotes . But at the moment I can only use my right arm . So Bearsy with me
Viking Warrior Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Twente do sloop John b properly I look forward to the Northam singing sloop john b version etc this coming season .
Mr X Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 [video=youtube_share;1GE5U2jePgI] its pretty embarrassing that dusan can complete such a good interview while being in a new country, where he genuinely seems interested in the interviewer and giving good answers when a certain ex player looked mostly bored and distracted in his interviews
Badger Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 its pretty embarrassing that dusan can complete such a good interview while being in a new country, where he genuinely seems interested in the interviewer and giving good answers when a certain ex player looked mostly bored and distracted in his interviews ....and a manager who refused to speak English publicly for 14months..
angelman Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 its pretty embarrassing that dusan can complete such a good interview while being in a new country, where he genuinely seems interested in the interviewer and giving good answers when a certain ex player looked mostly bored and distracted in his interviews I liked the honesty when asked whether he knew about our problems 5 years ago and the journey we've been on. Answer was no, just watched last season. Fair enough - better than making up some bull****.
BlueToff Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Well i wish we'd have snuck in at the last minute lads but well played to Saints, you've got a hell of a player there. From the interviews I saw of him at Twente, he seems like a down-to-earth lad and a loyal one - doesn't seem one to force a move - although I suppose you never know in football!! Reckon he'll be taking the No.10 from Ramirez then or maybe getting the 11 or the 7? He has the ability to be the player that makes everything tick for you next season. If you keep Schneiderlin then you'll still have a really strong midfield!
Beckenham Saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I particularly liked the bit where he said we had lost 2 excellent players. Left me wondering who he thought the **** one was Haha I thought that! A bit like finding a picture on social media or three people and commenting "You two look great!"
Batman Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Great TADIC CHANT sorry if posted before HERE quality...have to be done
Captain Scarlet Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I confess I didn't know who Dusan Tadic was two weeks ago, but after watching the videos, reading the reports and listening to the interview, I'm proper excited about this signing. Seems like the real deal!

St Chalet Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Obvious disclaimer about the dutch league perhaps not being as good as the other major leagues. I genuinely cannot believe that TMS regulars haven't picked up on the definition of a CC.
Saint_Abroad Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 I genuinely cannot believe that TMS regulars haven't picked up on the definition of a CC. Wow. Well wasn't someone going on about having good looking men in the 1st team? Looks like Ralphie is going for another target demographic. Carling out. Malibu Bay Breezes in!
SarniaSaint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Well i wish we'd have snuck in at the last minute lads but well played to Saints, you've got a hell of a player there.

If you keep Schneiderlin then you'll still have a really strong midfield! Yes Toffee agree with this and FWIW think Schneiderlin will stay seems to have a brain not like some of the ex players.
SarniaSaint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Sounds like fee was £10.9m - BBC Saw that earlier today Robbie Less than half price of Judas and better LOL
syd_barrett_saint Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Absolutely class player Exactly. I think the only other thing to add is what an excellent job the board have done to get this transfer wrapped up, right?
Saint Fan CaM Posted 8 July, 2014 Posted 8 July, 2014 Seems like a top class signing...very pleased. If this is the standard of player we're bringing in, then I'm excited for the season ahead.
