Bearsy Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 3 - Tadić (73), Pellè (63) and Djuricic (57) were in the Eredivisie top 6 of most chances created from open play in 2012/13. Trinity. Good Stat tks for that Has there been a lot of 0-0's in Eredivisie this season?
Window Cleaner Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Could be wrong, but would the fact it's a loan change things? Less paperwork, so maybe less hassle with a work permit because it's "temporary", sort of thing? Nope, to work in the UK (well as a footballer anyway) you either need to be British, come from some country or other where there's a reciprocal agreement (used to be the case with Australia and the like) be an EU citizen or get a work permit. The classic example of this is Traore with West Ham and Everton last season. 6 month loan from Monaco to West Ham, applied for the old WP, eventually got it after a tribunal, didn't fancy West Ham, signed for Everton who had to start again on the work permit front, must have played for Everton about once as well. If the lad has the required number of recent international appearances to be an automatic WP it's dead simple, rubber stamp jobby, if he doesn't we'd have to go and plead our case at a tribunal again.

Saint_clark Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Going by his Heerenveen and international stats he could be the goalscoring midfielder we're crying out for. Shoot please, filip!
trousers Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 A comment from a German friend who is a Mainz supporter: "Interesting. He played only 11 times last year, Maybe he didn't fit to our system. Our manager critizised him, that he needs more pace and energy...."

nta786 Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Daily Mail reporting that we have already got him, its been confirmed apparently, and the interview they use in the article is of Tadic basically saying he knows Filip well. So cmon mods, sticky it anytime soon?
cellone Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 ....anyone.... Koemans got fk all chance of getting any thing out of him
melmacian_saint Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Not convinced or excited, but in any case he's got the benefit of the doubt. Seems like the first "carried away" signing of the Koeman era, but as always the jury's out.

Patrick Bateman Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 So has anyone actually seen this bloke play? I don't just mean computer game stats either. I've never heard of him, so have absolutely no opinion/idea.
melmacian_saint Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 so what do you know about him other than his name? I follow Sporting Lisbon due to my Portuguese roots, and as a result follow the Portuguese League where he played last year...well, kind of, because he didn't play much in a Benfica side that had a good number of games and where unlike what was done in previous years, their manager (who is still the same now, unlike what I've read here) rotated the squad fairly frequently fearing the repeat of a 2013 end-of-season debacle where they lost 3 out of 3 titles (won 3 out of 4 this time round). To be sure, Benfica did have the best midfield in the league, which included Argentine international Enzo Perez, Rodrigo and Liverpool's Markovic, but even with the considerable number of games and injuries that occurred during the season Djuricic struggled to make himself counted in the opportunities he had, and ended up falling behind (the much overrated) Andre Gomes in the pecking order, even for European games where his most regular game time was coming from. The level of the Portuguese league, outside the big 3, is very low, defensive tactics are just a cover up for a lack of pace and creativity that exists in 70% of teams, and being in a good team as he was his performance was poor. Moreover, Benfica have sold a number of their midfield stars (including young prospects to Monaco and Valencia) and highly-rated Gaitan should follow soon, and yet they have not considered calling him back, nor did they consider him in pre-season. Food for thought, but as I said the jury is out as with anyone else.

Bad Wolf Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 He looks a bit too much like Rudi Skacel for my liking but if anyone can create a Doctor Who style regeneration, it's Koeman.

ART Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 He does indeed look smug and can see him and Tadic being more of an out of game menace together. 12 million to buy if we wish to keep him. To keep all our loans we'll need another 90 million in the summer.
Saint Charlie Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Michiel Jongsma, Dutch Footy Expert said he is a wonderful player, and plays no 10 brilliantly. He was a huge fan of Tadic and pretty much called his style spot on, and also on Pelle too so would trust his opinion. He did say that he wouldnt really be able to play as the main striker, as wouldnt relish the physical side, so very much a no 10 style player. Actually sounds very similar to Gaston...

Saint Charlie Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Hmm you say he rated Tadic? Yes. And was pretty much spot on and about his best attributes etc. I know Tadic has been hit or miss recently but he has obvious class and for what we paid has worked out well.
cellone Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Yeah looks real smug doesn't he So he should. He has just landed a superb job.
Saint_Ash Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 I'd be smug if I signed from mainz to a top four prem team

Sounds even less physical than Gaston, tbh. Gaston was used to getting hacked down every week in a very cynical league; whereas Koeman basically said that the Portuguese league was too 'physical' for Djuricic -and a big reason why he struggled.
St.Patrik Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Skys site says Saints are after one more player - any ideas who?
S-Clarke Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Skys site says Saints are after one more player - any ideas who? Sorting out the Bertrand deal apparently.
cellone Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Three or four have now mentioned a permanent Bertie deal. Hope this is true.
Danbert Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 http://www.squawka.com/news/scouting-report-southampton-target-filip-djuricic/289929 Contains some interesting stats if anyone's interested
Leicestersaint Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 A midfield player who can actually score? Let's hope he can step straight in.
scotty Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Sorting out the Bertrand deal apparently. Maybe his red card convinced the board that he cares?
krissyboy31 Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Red Star Belgrade @RedStarEnglish 2m2 minutes ago Former Zvezda trainee Filip Đuričić signs for a team also playing in red-and-white stripes, @SouthamptonFC. Good luck in England! #SaintsFC

Good luck in England! #SaintsFC I know a few Red Star fans who follow Saints for this reason. True story.
cellone Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Well he's done fk all so far. Starting to wonder if he was worth it.
cellone Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Think you're right Goats. Give him a chance to regain his form.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Yes. And was pretty much spot on and about his best attributes etc. I know Tadic has been hit or miss recently but he has obvious class and for what we paid has worked out well. Sorry Charlie, disagree, he has been hit and miss virtually from Day 1
S-Clarke Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Sorry Charlie, disagree, he has been hit and miss virtually from Day 1 He really hasn't.
Goatboy Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Sorry Charlie, disagree, he has been hit and miss virtually from Day 1 At the beginning of the season it looked as though Tadic, for whatever reason, was really enjoying playing for us. He obviously had a rapport with Pelle and his performances were great. Recently he has spent too long whining at his team mates, the referee and the opposition. I hope he gets back to playing with a bit more joy.
dannysfc Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 Am pleased we've brought at least 1 player in and that it'd be good to tie up Bertrand too as well for however long too & hopefully Filip will fit in perfectly at Saints too.....!!! Welcome Aboard Filip & COYR!!!
Plastic Posted 2 February, 2015 Posted 2 February, 2015 (edited) he has a smug little face Just watched a vid - he is fast though, and looks ok with both feet. little flicks and turns remind me of someone... cant quite place it... ratty faced chap.. Edited 2 February, 2015 by Plastic

I hope he gets back to playing with a bit more joy. Probably wasn't expecting to be challenging for Champions League (so soon) and so is feeling a bit more under pressure/desperate to do well.
