Saint Charlie Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 Tadic obviosuly has interest elsewhere, but also these deals do often take time to actually get over the line. Look at Ramirez, Wanyama, Osvaldo etc - its never quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trout-Tickler Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 Being a Serbian national will he not require a work permit? Pretty sure that when we signed both T. Lee and Gaston both the fee and personal terms were agreed quickly but the delay in announcing the deal was because we were waiting for confirmation that he'd been granted a work permit. If that is the case any deal may not be confirmed till end of next week at the earliest. Is he a current Serbian international? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 (edited) Hello all, I've been trying to get a clear update on this, as the plan was to have tadic sign first for around €10 million, but for some reason unknown to me as yet it's slowed right down. Now it looks like Pelle will come first. I will post what i can as soon as i find out why! Oh, and K.Billy has mentioned the name of the GK, will verify with my source and KB as whether I can post or not. Personally I think Twente are happy with the fee and want to sell asap but Tadic wants to wait and see who else comes in.

Saint_Ash Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 Personally I think Twente are happy with the fee and want to sell asap but Tadic is wanting wait to see who else comes in. To be fair it would probably be his last move so he has every right to see if there are other suiters worth considering, I just hope the club are giving him the red carpet treatment so he knows he'll be wanted here.

Beckenham Saint Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 Is he a current Serbian international? Yeah, he is. Wears the number 10 so I assume he is also in the starting lineup for them. Has played for them as recently as this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckenham Saint Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 There's a press conference tomorrow? Any idea on time of day? Cheers Just wishful thinking on my part. I think Crooky has said there will be one end of this week or early next. Exact date may well be dependent on how quickly we get the signings done as I'm sure the club would like to present Koeman to the media with Pelle and Tadic in situ. Speaking of.... Jim Lucas just said on Twitter that the first press conference "should be next week." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 3 July, 2014 Share Posted 3 July, 2014 Shalke - CL Sevilla - Europa us - nothing. Correction Shalke - CL Sevilla - Europa us - Premier League football Don't underestimate the pull of that. Plus if Shalke and Sevilla don't make a big enough bid for Tadic or offer the terms Saints do then Saints are in a strong position. Mentioning two other clubs in the press could simply be a negotiating technique by his agent to get the best possible wage offer from Saints. Plus as I said...

Agreed, Tadic shouldn't overlook both playing in the Premier League, or indeed playing for us. At the worst, he can use us as a stepping stone. If he excels like Lovren or Pochettino did, he could soon be on his way to a top club after a year or two - or even Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCTwente Posted 4 July, 2014 Share Posted 4 July, 2014 Hi all, I am a FC Twente fan. I hope that Tadic will be coming your way. I have been on and off following Southampton since last year due to a few of my English friends! It would be a great transfer imo; I think Tadic has a lot to offer and would provide great supply to Pelle (whom imo is the best player in the Dutch league followed by Tadic). I was suprised by how cheap Pelle is on the market; he is better (for me) than Bony. Provides great linkage play, extremely strong in the air and has a powerful shot. It seems that Tadic himself has a preference for Schalke 04 though, but as of yet there has not been any contact with them (as far as I know). Furthermore I doubt they are willing to offer the same value as Southampton. I hoep this deal comes around as it would be good for my club, as we are slightly financial troubled, and he will be great for Southampton.

We had a feyenoord fan pop up recently too and you've both made a nice contribution. I think most of us would be delighted to see Tadic join us (sooner rather than later!) and hope we have enough to attract his kind of player. Anyway thank you again for sharing your insight, best of luck with the season and the finances (we've had our share of issues!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
