Bucks Saint Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 The bastion of facts that is Wikipedia already lists Tadier as "a French-born Algerian footballer who plays for Premier League club Southampton FC and the Algeria national team". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Don't know about Inter, he was OK at Grenoble, not a world beater though. He was only 18/19 when at Grenoble. Presume he's progressed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintoaks Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Might say more about Osvaldo than Taider TBH. Brilliant, Weve got 90 odd million in the bank and now taking in loan players ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 He was only 18/19 when at Grenoble. Presume he's progressed since then. I don't know, just saw him play a few times for Grenoble and the French Unders sides, since then he's gone native with Algeria. Stats aren't great but they're just that, stats. Wait and see really gift horse mouth looking into an all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucks Saint Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Brilliant, Weve got 90 odd million in the bank and now taking in loan players ! yes, in order to get rid of our most troublesome, expensive and high wage earning player that very few want to take, we have secured a deal to achieve this, that gets us a good player for at least a year as well.

Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Brilliant, Weve got 90 odd million in the bank and now taking in loan players ! Only because we had a player that we really needed to be shot of, Osvaldo being a sort of non player for us, situation could not be allowed to go on for much longer really.

Toon Saint Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Brilliant, Weve got 90 odd million in the bank and now taking in loan players ! Probably one of the smarter things we can do with Osvaldo to be honest. No one seems to want to pay any cash for him so why not swapsies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 I hope you prove me wrong and he is a good asset for a season. Time will tell. He'll be more of an asset than Osvaldo will ever be, so we've added 1 extra player to our squad straight away for no money. In theory, opening the door for some key positions to be filled with some excellent players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Taider is more of a worker as opposed to a Gaston style "Schemer" Gaston's agent said he is transfer listed...don't know how accurate that is though. Could be a throw back to June. As RK says he wants to keep all the players perhaps he'll stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Saint Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 I could be wrong but I think Guan just meant that it will be bigged up on the OS 'as though it's the second coming'. Don't know about anyone else but I haven't had a second coming for ages, so I am quite excited at the prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 (edited) Taider is more of a worker as opposed to a Gaston style "Schemer" Played behind Slimani in the World Cup as a CAM but does seem pretty versatile, though again we have quite a few players in that mold -Davis, JWP. And lets not forget that it was Davis that ultimately kept Gaston out of the side. Edited 30 July, 2014 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Let's be positive for a mo. Forster Clyne - Fonte - Vlaar - Rojo Morgan - Wanyama Gaston - Davis - Tadic Pelle Bench - Boruc, Virgil, Targett, Ings, Tadier, Gallagher, JWP Then you've got Reed, McQueen, Stephens, Isgrove, Yoshida, Jos (?), Gazzaniga beyond that. Stronger rounded squad than last year? that's not bad...really...(and I think we'll sell Cork, just a hunch) Obviously though, the bond and team work will take time. But if we get those over the line, we won't go down - I'm sure. I can see in that set up with that hypothetical squad, Van Dyk with Vlaar, Ings in a Rodriguez wide role and Ramirez behind Pelle.

Who would you rather have Gnabry or Isgrove. One will go far, so will the other but not in the same sense. But even then armed with a £70m+ surplus in transfer fees we should be identifying players to buy to develop rather than loaning them from other clubs and giving them all the benefit for a short-term fix for ourselves. If we start loaning players it'll be one of the most idiotic things we can do and a sure sign that we are failing to buy players due to incompetence. I'll make the Taidar deal an acceptable deviation given the main purpose of that deal is getting rid of Osvaldo however why we are signing another central midfielder when that is the strongest part of our squad I've no idea but there you go.
