What is happening regarding Tadic?

We apparently had a deal with FC 20 agreed last week then gone very quiet.

Eds, anyone?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know what is happening with him sorry.}

Its all gone quiet other than the same rumours about us having signed/nearly signed/in negotiations about the original two players.

Transfers aren't usually quick, if a fee was agreed last week them there is still the player's contract to agree. I wouldn't expect the unveiling of a new player until next week or after. There's no rush.

I heard Koeman's first press conference has been arranged for a week today (Friday 11th July). I have a feeling it will all get announced next week with the manager/presenting 2-3 new players at the first press conference. Hopefully it is Pelle, Tadic and maybe a LB. Would be a good statement to present all three as clear replacements for Lambert, Lallana and Shaw. Loving the new Kit by the way. COYR

I must admit the not knowing does your head in but we have been used to that. I think everybody knows who else is going ( Lovren for sure) and probably Spider but the press say we have "done deals" with other clubs and then everything goes dead quiet almost as though we are waiting for other clubs to make counter offers for the players we are supposedly after, very odd. So I think the rumour is that nobody actually knows what's happening really! In particular us the fans who have just paid out millions of our hard earned money on season tickets to more or less be ignored. It's a bit like paying out to go to the Isle of Wight festival without knowing the line up.

Basically as far as I can tell, we have hit a stumbling block on Pelle with Feyenoord believing he is worth a fair bit more than we offered (according to certain reports anyway).

As for Tadic the last I'd heard the transfer fee had been worked out but that was just paper talk so could be, and probably is, meaningless.

I seem to remember it always going very quiet for a few days/week before a player was announced, usually because we'd waited after they'd signed before announcing, possibly happened this time in order to get the new kit out or as RedAndWhite said to announce them with Koeman

I heard the fee has been agreed with Twente for Tadic and it's just up to the player, who has other options on the table - Schalke and Sevilla, who are in the CL and EC respectively.

They may ultimately prove more alluring than Saints (in spite of now having stripy shirts), but neither club has met Twente's asking price yet.
