Taider deal confirmed done by RoKo

1.) 02 Aug 2014
Obviously we have been linked for a long time but as the deal looks more and more likely, what is he actually like as a player? Does anyone know?

Inter fans are gutted :)

Apparently the player has himself confirmed on his twitter account.

With regards to Ezequiel Schelotto I have to admit I don't know much about him so I have done the standard youtube check! I hate to say it but this guy looks turd!

Normally on youtube you find a compilation of said players best bits! this guys compilation makes interesting watching, you might think its a compilation of his worst buts! unfortunately it is not!

If I have this wrong please let me know but i'm hoping we don't get this guy! thoughts?

Very adept at picking the ball up from deep and linking the midfield with attack. Similar style to wild here but with more pace/power.

To saint_ben_basingstoke, Schelotto was seen as a hot prospect in Italy, but like Taider (the other guy we're getting on loan) they made the move to Inter too early in their careers. Schelotto went on loan to Parma and according to Parma fans, he was very good. Hopefully we get the Parma version of Schelotto and he is a fast winger so he gives us depth in a position we lack.

What do you mean 'wild'

Jonathan Biabiany looks a much better option in my opinion

I agree, apparently West Brom have submitted a 5m bid already.

Sorry was supposed to say wilshere.

Saintsfan25: ok well if we get him let's hope he lights the premiership up

I would rather get Biabiany over Taider or Schelotto. Our centre mid options are good already and a winger is what we lack. Biabiany has raw pace and good dribbling, would bring a different dimension to the team

@Seattle Saint:

Taïder is quite mentally/tactically astute, he sees the pass before others and tackles with the right amount of aggression. He is also good at controlling the play and being apart of both slow & quick build up plays.
His only downside is his attitude, he can lose momentum.

However, I see him as a very Koeman-esque sort of player, very similar to Clasie but he plays a little further upfield so is not quite as defensive. If he is a big part of Koeman's plans (a starter in the squad) then I see this as very efficient transfer with Osvaldo going the other way.

Nothing on the player's twitter account
