SuperSAINT Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Been mulling this over for a while... When on form, one of our best players. Poor for large parts of the season. He supposedly wanted out last summer before signing a new contract... Has undoubtedly missed Pelle & Sadio. What would you do if we got a big offer for him?

S-Clarke Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Feels like he's being suffocated in this team, I wouldn't get rid of him. Better man management and a better central midfield and he'd be a lot more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Stay ! Has many limitations but still our most creative player ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Big offer - Sell, although I can't say he's done anywhere near enough to warrant that kind of interest Otherwise - Keep. He's a useful option to have. Inconsistent but on his day devastating. One of those who could be doing a lot better were it not for our dreadful style of play. If we can get him in and around Gabbi next season, with the right tactics, they will do well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 With a change of man management, I think he's still got something to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian lord Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 He will have a new lease of life without the dead hand of Puel managing him and the rest of the team. Keep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Definitely stay. We would have no chance of attracting a player of superior or even equivalent quality at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Albert Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 He's class when he can be arsed to play 100%. He seems to start the season strong and then fade into winter. I didn't like his grousing in the media this season about being subbed, nor did I like that his public complaining seemed to get him a result- he played the full 90 minutes for several games afterwards. I think that he's too good to let go unless we have someone with top-end skills waiting in the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusic Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Easy to say get rid but he is a semi reliable creator of chances, certainly our best. Would only sell if we had someone coming in who perhaps offered creativity in a different sort of style, but there are players we woulf benefit from selling far more: Clasie and Long to name two.

bazza Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Who would you replace him with? I'm sure with our scouting network and magical black box Les can identify an upgrade on Tadic. He's not exactly prolific in front of goal for a 'playmaker' and how many games this season has he actually dictated the play? The first team needs improving and that includes his position.

If you look at his stats since he came to the Prem he's in the top 5/6 assist makers in the league I think. I'm not sure I'd be quite so confident of the black box replacing a player who on his day is genuine top quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no coincidence that our main chance creator & assist-getter would have a bad season when we can't hit a barn door! I understand he is 3rd in the list of chances created in the Premier League. That is pretty special for a club like ours. Perhaps we all need to look for another explanation as to why he is so ineffective this season? Whilst I accept that the chances he has created may not have been taken, his overall play has been stunted by our negative approach (particularly at home where we haven't scored since it seems Derek Reeves retired - or does it just seem like that?)

shurlock Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Not Tadic's biggest fan -can be a flat track bully. Still he's proven himself in the PL and that's preferable to Les and wee Ross trying to be cute and clever in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartman Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Sell. One of the biggest culprits when it comes to us not being able to hit a barn door yet gets away with it to some extent and for some reason he is seen as a midfielder rather than a forward who is often playing higher up the pitch than anyone else in the team. 2 goals from open play in 3107 minutes is a pathetic return for a player in his position. And is turning 29 this year. Tadic, Long, Rodriguez and Forster should be at top of the sale list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgiesaint Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Keep. Seemed to have built a good relationship with Gabbi, until Puel decided to mix things up a bit and play JRod and Long.

Causer Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Stay as infuriating as he has been for large parts of season, he has still been creating more chances than anyone else in the squad. If our strikers had been even vaguely competent this season, he wouldn't be getting half the stick he gets. He is always brave enough to try the tough pass or take a player on that settle for the easy 5 yard square ball and we don't have anyone else like that in the squad.

Saint_clark Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Feels like a long, long time ago but the best i've ever seen him was at the start of this season after making the decision to stay and signing a new contract. Pity things never progressed. In a season where everyone offensive was disappointing in one way or another, he still got 7 assists and I would wager is right up there in the key chances created statistic. Keep him.

Chris27687 Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 getting rid would be unbelieveably stupid, technically and by asssits he is worth a ****ing bundle. So unless someone is going to drop -£25m - £35m on him, he should not be leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 He is slow he needs pace around him so playing him with Austin and JWP really doesn't pay.

John Boy Saint Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 Don't let the door bang on his backside on the way out. Said for a long time he flatters to deceive, shows odd flashes of brilliance, but overall not as good as he thinks he is, when he loses the ball for the umpteenth time in a game he blames everyone else in pointing distance.

DT Posted 21 May, 2017 Share Posted 21 May, 2017 One of the most frustrating players. Clearly has ability but no application. And when he needs to deliver, he disappears.
