SuperSAINT Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 (edited) Surely news worthy of having it's own thread? Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC We're delighted to announce playmaker Dušan Tadić has signed a new four-year contract with #SaintsFC: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/20160812-dusan-tadic-new-southampton-contract-announcement-3242812.aspx Edited 12 August, 2016 by SuperSAINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 12 August, 2016 Author Share Posted 12 August, 2016 Excellent news. He's going to be a key player for us this season I reckon. Lets hope he flourishes in the No.10 position. He's easily the best choice for that role at the moment. Important we tied him down after losing Pelle & Mane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 Great news for the club, he is our most creative player by far. I know from a very good source within the club that he and RK had a very strained relationship towards the end, and if RK hadn't left then Tadic intended to. Sadly the other snippet I have is that Fonte is taking some convincing as there is genuine interest from both Everton and Man Utd, and he is mulling over his options.

Regardless of interest, I think in this case, we need to raise the St Mary's draw-bridge (aka Morgan & Vic). It's too close to the season to sell our captain.

mrfahaji Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 Tadic was the only player I could confirm. Cedric is likely. Fonte I understand is a little more difficult. Given that Fonte signed a new contract recently, does it matter if he doesn't sign a new one? If he's considering his options and fancies moving to a club like United or Arsenal, does it really make a difference whether he pens a new deal with us?

I think it just tells us fans that he's definitely here for this season at least! We all know that player contracts mean nothing these days, apart from that the player gets a nice payrise in return for us being able to sell at a premium. Its a win-win as someone like Shane Long earns more money this season than last, and if a club come in for him next summer we can demand a higher fee than if his contract was running low (a la Wanyama) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But presumably there's no reason he can't sign a new contract today and leave to join Arsenal next week... Back to Tadic - how he takes to the number 10 role may well be the make or break of Puel's 4-4-2 system. Partly because we don't have anyone else good enough or suited to play such a pivotal role, on the other because if Tadic doesn't play there where will he play? And can we afford to have our main creative source sat on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BARCELONASAINT Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 delighted with the Tadic news, we desperately needed to keep hold of him. Slightly more concerned that Fonte is POSSIBLY having his head turned.....and slightly concerned that Matt Le Tiss spent the day with the team yesterday and is reporting that he does not expect any more incomings???....also no out goings??

trousers Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 Fonte I understand is a little more difficult. Does that suggest that things have changed since you posted the following a week ago? I still maintain that nothing I have seen or heard or understand about the situation suggests to me that Jose will be anything but a Southampton player at the start of the season.

Actually as it isn't possessive, then I would have thought "it's" is correct. It's is the contracted version of "it has" or "it is". "Its" is the possessive form of it.

Heisenberg Posted 12 August, 2016 Share Posted 12 August, 2016 Southampton is a springboard for players and the club makes little secret of that now. Tadic joined us and would have hoped to move onto one of the top 6 in England, Spain or Germany after a season or two ala Clyne, Mane, Big Vic ect ect I think he had some interest this summer but perhaps only from clubs on par with us (Schalke) rather than the desirable Arsenal or Dortmund or even Liverpool. If he delivers for us this season a big club may come knocking and he will be allowed to leave. In the meantime we get to keep him and he gets another few years to prove he's a level above us.
