Dusan Tadic to Ajax - Undisclosed (£10M)

[OttawaSaint]

Why does anyone care what they signed him for? Got 4 Years out of him, he is 30. Whatever really.

 

Some find it fun to quote as low a figure as possible to trash the club and wind others up to boost their own self worth.

[DT]

Decent money I reckon

[angelman]

Never like to see a first team player leave, but over the past couple of seasons he has without doubt been the most infuriating player.

[tajjuk]

As long as we replace him and looks like we have with the guy from Basel I think it's a decent deal.

 

Good player but his last two years he has been very frustrating and the potential new guy looks like he has more pace and goal threat about him (plus at 23 potential to improve)

[Pamplemousse]

I think it's too cheap. I'd rather we just kept him and risk losing him on a free.

Fee undisclosed...

[Heisenberg]

May need to change thread title to £10m?

 

Edit...

[harriesss]

Tadic was our best player, replacing him with Elyounoussi is a start but we need another wide man and a striker, if it’s just elyounoussi we’ll struggle.

I know that he blows hot and cold but I really think that we will miss his creativity!

Anyway, such is life and we all move on....

Thanks and good luck, Dusan !

Often frustrating, but on his day a very good player and unlike some he actually seemed to care, particularly in the run-in last season. I'll miss him acknowledging the crowd every time his name was sung. Good move for him though and can't really blame him or the club, he's given us four years of good service.

Thanks and good luck Dusan.

It's being widely reported on mainstream media outlets that the initial fee is €11.4M (c£10M). Do all the media have an anti-SFC agenda?

[Heisenberg]

 

That's Ajax saying they have paid 11.4m Euros for him, rising to 13.7m Euros dependent on bonuses.

 

That's £10m rising to £12m.

 

That is dirt cheap. An absolute steal.

 

This fee has to be right. Ajax are a stock listed company so they always have to announce the amounts. The fee is probably lower than mentioned earlier because Tadic gets a decent cut of the transfer fee and Ajax pay him separately.

We know what they paid... £10m smakeroonies

Don`t know, or really care about media, guess you hang on every word they print

Shocking waste of talent. WTF is going on in our club ?

 

Wait for further departures replaced by average players and potentially another very shi*te season.

I wonder if we'll put the 6.4M to good use...

[doddisalegend]

Telegraph still saying a £15 million deal though it doesn't say what the deal actually is. Interestingly the price for the two new blokes is the same as is being quoted else where ie 7 million for Armstrong. and 16 million for the guy with the name I can't yet spell.

Already spent it on a reserve at Celtic who plays for Scotland now and then.

 

Either way good luck to Dusan. Did very well for us and will get some more European football before he retires.

[aintforever]

We need to invest heavily now to stand a chance of staying up.

Replacement looks like on way

[OttawaSaint]

good luck Dusan.

We can't get much with 3.65M though.

[Scully]

On his day Tadic is unplayable, he has had some great games for us and I wish him all the best! Hope we can recruit sensibly this year so we don't end up missing him

[East Kent Saint]

How many millions did he save the club with those 2 goals !!!!

Why we let him got for 785k.

[Saint Garrett]

In on the joke? Seems like peanuts for someone as good as Tadic. Terrible deal for Saints if true.

Dusan Tadic gave good service & produced some superb moments for #SaintsFC, but he turns 30 this year & was too inconsistent last season. Ajax say they are paying €11.4million , rising to €13.7million - not a bad return

[OldNick]

I wasn't his biggest fan, but it seemed to me he cared a lot especially on the run in of last season.

Before the last game of the season I watched the players get off the team coach and he was the only one who made any effort with the fans

 

Thanks Dusan and good luck in the future.

[Lighthouse]

Farewell and good luck Dusan. A quick reminder of his finest hour at Saints.

Good luck Dusan, on his day unplayable and one of my favourite players. Will miss him greatly and his waves to our chants:) Great Player!

[captainchris]

We always sell low apart from VVD.

The rest went cheap and so has Tadic.

That's what Ajax say and it's the initial fee, there will be other add ons spread over a period of time. Our usual mouth pieces in the media say we wanted £18m. The truth will be somewhere in the middle.

[Saint Pete]

Very disappointed to lose our most creative player. Not at all confident that we will replace him with someone of the same or better quality based on our recent transfer dealings.

[Saint Albert]

Good luck to Tadic. I’m going to miss seeing him in a Saints shirt. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to miss his contributions. Hopefully decent replacements will be incoming.

Ajax can't lie to the stock market. If they say they've handed us 11.9m euros, then that's exactly what they'll have done.

[Scoobysaint]

I’m not convinced that he is any great loss really. I feel he has always flattered to deceive and not achieved what he could have. To get anything around £15 million for him is good business in my book.

[VectisSaint]

No great loss (he has been great for us in the past), now if we can get shot of Redmond and Sophie and replace with two good creative midfielders things will look much better. Dusan was great for the last 8 games last season but a liability for the previous 30 and for much of the season before as well. He was also great for us when Ronald took over, but players abilities wane with time, we should not cry about a player who used to be great leaving, especially if we get half decent money for him. he used to be good but now he is avreage at best, it happens, the crime would be to hold on to a player because of his past glories.

[Marsdinho]

Good luck to Tadic. I’m going to miss seeing him in a Saints shirt. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to miss his contributions. Hopefully decent replacements will be incoming.

[Toomer]

Never been a favourite of mine ever since he put in a lazy tackle which ended up with Vardy scoring for Leicester in the 2 all draw when we were 2 up at half time.

[krissyboy31]

Sad to see him go. Could be frustrating at times but on his day, was an excellent player and the one true creative player we have had since Lallana left.

Massive loss - watch us screw up replacing him

And given away for peanuts.

 

F**k Reed and Krueger.

That's a problem I'm hoping will go away.

Just seen the fee. WTF?

[simo]

10m is a bargain tbf but not fussed if as it sounds like he's being replaced by that Mo geezer !

[Turkish]

Fitzhugh Fella will be over the moon! He’ll need to find another player to blame for everything now though.

[stknowle]

Never like to see a first team player leave, but over the past couple of seasons he has without doubt been the most infuriating player.

 

Agree. Great ability but all too rarely seen in his last two seasons and even before that I always felt he could offer more if he showed more of a killer instinct. Wish him well though.

[scotty]
