Hi lads. Liverpool fan here in peace.

Last August we were linked with Dusan Tadic a lad I hear you are now close to signing. Well whilst LFC were chasing him I wrote a player review on him and I thought I'd share it with you in case some of you haven't seen much of him. Apologies that it's a year out of date, but he's still the same player!

"I will start off with Tadic. He is a 24 year old, Serbian attacker who currently plays for FC Twente. Last season he was my favourite play in the league. He is incredibly skilful and the most creative player in the league by far. Only Dries Mertens assisted more than him last season, but Mertens is quite one dimensional (limited to crossing). Tadic has a knack for playing dainty little through balls on the edge of the 18 yard box. As well as this, he often plays his team mates in behind the defence for a clear one on one chance. He can also add crossing to his list of deadly creative abilities though, being very accurate in picking out his man. Despite not being lightning fast, he is faster than the average player, and is particularly good at short bursts to get round a man, or beat a defender to a lose ball. He is also quite capable with his weaker foot, despite being predominantly right footed. He chips in with quite a lot of goals, being a tidy finisher in the box. If I had to compare him to someone to give you a better idea of his playing style, I'd say our very own Coutinho is a good example. Tadic spent a lot of his career in lesser leagues, meaning I cannot find his full career statistics. However he has spent the last 3 years in Dutch football for Groningen and Twente. During that 3 year spell he can boast an impressive record of 29 goals and 50 assists in 117 games. That equates to a goal every 4. 03 games and an assist every 2. 34 games. His statistics for last season suggest that goal to games ratio is improving, with him scoring 15 goals and assisting 19 in 41 games! If you apply his overall ratios to a 38 game season though, he comes out with (to the nearest whole number) 16 assists and 9 goals. Very good for a 24 year old. He has been on quite a steep improvement in recent years which suggests to me, that even if he were to make the step up to a top league, he would adjust accordingly and maintain his form. He would probably be valued at around Â£10m by Twente, and I think he'd be a good buy for any premier league team. "

I'm sorry to see your team being dismantled btw guys. I'm hoping you will get in a few shrewd buys like Tadic though and that it won't dent your progression. Loved watching you last year and in my opinion, United just paid Â£30m for your second most promising left back because Targett is even better! Good luck next season and I hope to see you guys up in the top 7/8 again.

1.) Cheers for your kind words - looks to be good value for the money! Good luck for the season!

2.) Very nice of you to come on here and comment and thanks for the kind words. If you manage to leave us with any players after this summer it would be greatly appreciated and this guy from what you have said would be a fine addition so thanks for the review.

Hope Lambert turns out to be a real success at Liverpool and you guys do well next season, was very disappointed myself to see Liverpool fall short this year. Would be nice to have the name of a non Manchester club back on the trophy next season, also will be rooting for you lot in Europe. Good luck for next season.

Thankyou. Always nice to have those kind words.
