Dusan Tadic to Ajax - Undisclosed (£10M)


Feyenoord1908

Recommended Posts

FAO Mosin - have a lie down.

 

FAO those who are sayings its ok if we replace him well - look at the Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Mane, Pelle, Fonte and VVD replacements.

 

I have zero faith in Ross and Les to replace what Tadic brings, within our budget.

 

That is more of a concern than the actual act of selling our only good attacker.

I think I would rather some prospects at the club get given a go eg Sims, we don't have a bad team, just badly managed for 2 seasons, Tadic has shown this season and last that he isn't the man given how we set up to favour the forwards yet they played rubbish all season but last few games.

 

 

Tadic is are best attacking player, but he is also the worst when he CBA which is a lot of the time.

 

 

I think Sims will do a good job, but I got a funny feeling its gonna be Redmond / boufal fighting for left with JWP Redmond and Boufal ( Unless he leaves ofc ) fighting for right wing too. might get a player in, but I don't think he will be first choice player, more like a prospect which will annoy me as I think Sims deserves a chance.

Of course we won't sell until we've signed up a replacement because that's what Spartak Moscow do and that was patiently explained to us that this is how these things work when a club wants to sign another club's player.

 

That's right, isn't it?

Stats don't lie, overall JWP is the better player.

 

Where do I start?

 

So JWP didn't score 5 goals as you stated?

 

And you can't take goals off Tadic because one was a penalty? Are you saying we have to take all MLT's penalties off his record?

 

You are mental...

 

Tadic had a better goals per minute than JWP..end of...

its an official game, weather its for EPL 2 or EPL 1, its official counted by EPL website, you know the English FA? the main ppl of the competition?, its on the database for it on the EPL stats website, they count it, I took them stats off transfermarket.com which don't include all official games, just the prem games.

 

 

Officially JWP has a goal pm of 0.21 % due to his extra 2 goals not included on the transfer market site but is on the official EPL site. Tadic only has a better GPG cause he scored more in the league.

 

A players season total is taken from all official games, European, league or cup, don't matter, they all count to the final count, if its done in an official competition which the EPL 2 is.

I'd have driven Tadic to Amsterdam myself at some points last season, he was that terrible on occasions!

 

He has struggled the last two seasons, of course you can argue that he has been badly managed and his form in the last few games of the season would suggest that.

 

However at 30 this year and his inconsistency over the last two seasons i'm not too disappointed to see the back of him, he wont improve, he's likely to get more inconsistent as he ages too, I accept that him leaving will leave a hole in the squad that will need replacing with a senior pro, maybe Jack Wilshire?

He did under MP and RK and was in his best form during his time too and was clearly a lot younger and behind in the pecking order as the players he was fighting against for places now play at champions league cup finalists while Tadic is to join big power house like Ajax who are now an EU youth development team.

 

 

Really...…

 

 

Like its bad Tadic and Redmond never got dropped when every body even fans at the stadium moaned and groaned about team selections, but its ok, ppl only remember the last 3 games that Tadic did when he put a tiny bit of effort in, rest of the season he is all forgiven for.....

 

 

No remembers when JWP come off bench replacing tadic setting up a goal and scoring. Or coming of the bench and setting up 2 goals while Redmond and tadic had a hole game and failed to even create 1 clear chance, ppl only remember the last 3 games where Tadic all on his own ( ofc no other players played just Tadic ) that's all ppl remember. but having been to pretty much 99 % of games at home and away last season ( only 6 games I didn't attend, I can tell you know, Tadic was rubbish for 90 % of the season and last, And we looked better every time JWP was on the pitch.

 

He didn’t start under RK, as Tadic was an RK signing. If he did they both played. You are clearly JWPs agent. No point arguing with typical English football fan who prefer someone who charges about for 90 minutes and has no technical ability over someone perceived as lazy and has tons of technical ability. Utterly stupid.

This is my point, well the one im trying to make, Every one says this excuse for Tadic " He has struggled the last two seasons, of course you can argue that he has been badly managed and his form in the last few games of the season would suggest that. " But don't apply it to JWP, how do we know how well JWP will play under a better manager? I mean the few times I seen him play under MH, he came on and he was pretty good, against man city he was are best midfield / forward player according to the ratings.

 

 

Tadic on his day is miles better than JWP, but over the last two season, I dispute that he is better, and this season I would have had JWP on the pitch far more than I would have Tadic cause of his form and Tadic is meant to be at his peak age, he should be enjoying his best football for the last couple of season but has degraded, JWP on the other side is getting better and better, his development has slowed a bit, but how much of that is down to the managers? I thought JWP had a solid season by his standards and progressed on his previous season even though we had a bad manager, Tadic goes from a top top player putting in MOTM performances assisting and scoring good goals with brilliant pieces of magic, to a dismal season where he looked a shadow of his former self and over the last two seasons

striking a ball to perfection is an technical ability, its a rather rare one too with not many free kick specialists around.

 

Some ppl go to world cups and become the greatest every players for there dead ball ability's.

 

Think yo need to remember dribbling is not the only technical ability needed in football.

Because JWP has played under a better manager on many occasions and looked little better than average. If Adkins, Pochettino and Koeman couldn't get a consistent performance out of him in 4 years, I doubt he ever will.

I was going to respond to you but just can't. Never heard of you on this forum previously and you've been here since 2015 so that is a pretty low profile. However your attitude of just shouting everyone else down while spouting heavily biased sh1te is insufferable. One of the quickest ever posters to hit my ignore list.

 

To say that selling Tadic (for half what it will cost to replace him) is a good thing is mental. And we're not even talking about the impact this will have on the dressing room or our prospective targets. Absolute shipwreck of a summer so far. We didn't even bag his replacement in Madison.

 

And FYI, whilst you're banging on about JPW on this thread, the actual replacement for Tadic in our starting 11 will be Redmond or Boufal. Both are no where near his level.

 

Goodbye.

When has JWP constantly struck a ball to perfection? In a Sure promo video? If he was that good he would be a starter or playing for England every game.

 

He isn’t a dead ball specialist at all, a funky run up doesn’t mean this.

 

He is an ordinary English midfielder. If Tadic was English he would be in the England team and one of our better players, no doubt about that.

Why are you arguing with him. He is either a troll, a footballing philistine, or some drunkard that everyone got bored of listening to down the pub so he turned up here. Just ignore.

Good point, he seems the sort that would love 10 Benali’s trying really hard.

I've always been a fan of Tadic I always amazed he got so much stick on here. Quite strange reading this thread to find out the act of him leaving has taken him from the player everyone liked to moan about (only slightly less than Redmond) to our best player who is all but unreplaceable..

He'll have some great company. Pelle, Wanyama, Mane etc.

You say we don't have a bad team but who in our squad is a genuine "top half" player? By that I mean someone who is a cut above the average PL standard.

 

Bertrand

Cedric - debatable

Lemina

Tadic

 

That's it. The rest are average or bottom third standard.

Those were basically our best players at the top of their games at the time (aside VVD's last 6 months which were pointless), Tadic is IMO neither, aside an ok last 4-5 games the last two years he has been poor and has been IMO getting in the team on reputation rather than form.

 

He is replaceable because he has not been that good, like I said in the last page his goal record is 1 in 7 for a player that has consistently started in attacking positions and for a team that until this year was top 6-8.

Let’s be honest 90% of this forum couldn’t understand why he started every game

Apart from the last 5 games he’s been poor for the last 18 months

15/18 million for a 30 year old is good business

 

that is why we were a game away from relegation

Tadic: 1.1

JWP: 0.9

 

Unsuccessful Longball passes

Tadic: 1.2

JWP: 1.8

There are hundreds of them and would be here all day posting them.

 

They are all per 90 mins each player has played and only in the PL.

Despite the odd disappointing game, which goes with the trade for flair players, Tadic has been one of my favourite players of recent years. If you add his goals and assists over four seasons it’s a good track record that is up there with the best.

 

Will be really sorry to see him go, feels like a season too soon. Shaquiri I think is 5 years younger and if we can land him would be decent replacement

Shaqiri really is the obvious choice.

Jack bloody Wiltshire !!!!

A completely different player. Tadic has more skill in his big toe that the master pretender Wiltshire...

I genuinely cannot understand how you think this is correct. Release clause means we have to accept a bid that meets it. We cannot turn that bid down. If he wants to go and club meets clause, he’s off. If another club wanted to pay say £25m, we would accept that bid too (as it is in excess of the release clause) and then Tadic then chooses which club to go to. I cannot think of a good reason why any club would offer more than the release clause though? If you have extra cash, give more to Tadic in wages and signing bonus to convince him to join you over rivals.

Yes we can if someone else offers more.

Nothing about a release clause here, just states a fee of 15 million was suggested. Room for negotiation up as well.

So more like 18m, that would soften the blow a little bit.

Wish we could bring in players before we start selling ours, it would gives a better bargaining position.

It is. Swapping a 29 year old for a 26 year old and making £5m profit is right up our street. Hughes wants more of a winger and a no.10 (who knows where the back of the net is)

 

Moneyball over football then. I’d take Shaqiri but Redmond or Boufal should be shown the door, it’s about the 11 on the pitch for fans.

I get the fact that Tadic has an expiry date on the back of his shirt...but he’s been a good player for the most part and pretty loyal which is a rare commodity now. The problem is that leaving Redmond and Boufal in the squad and then replacing Tadic with lesser quality is a massive mistake and one that has been prevalent for too many seasons now. I don’t think Shaquri is a bad player but I’m not sure he has enough to improve the squad to the point where we’re not struggling against relegation.

Top half? I would say;

 

McCarthy

Cedric

Hoedt

Bertrand

Jwp

Lemina

Romeu

Tadic

gabbi

Redmond

 

They are all above average premier. I’m not saying they are very good players, but I think there is a lot of dross in the other teams that we just ignore. If you look at a list of premier league players, and remove the top 5 teams, we have as many top players as anyone.

Nothing at all says to me that Hoedt is "Above average" , He was very poor last year and cost us loads of goals !
