Dusan Tadic Latest To Commit To Saints Friday, 12th Aug 2016 10:30 Dusan Tadic has joined many of his team mates in signing up to new long term deal with Southampton Football Club. The rumour at the end of last season was that Dusan Tadic would be leaving Saints, although it was not in the press the whisper was he was disillusioned with the way he was being treated by Ronald Koeman and wanted out. The departure of the Dutch manager to Everton gave Saints fans hope that perhaps Tadic would now stay and that has proved to be the case with the announcement that he has signed a new four year deal at St Mary's. It perhaps shows the faith that Tadic and indeed his fellow squad members have in Claude Puel, from Tadic's perspective he has had a good two seasons at Saints, at times he was magnificent, at others not so much, but the suspicion was he was not being used to his true strengths. Now it seems Claude Puel might do just that, he has already suggested that Tadic may be used in a more central role and that could suit the Serbian international who undoubtedly not only has an eye for goal but one for creating chances for others. Tadic himself was appreciative of how the club were desperate to keep him now Koeman has gone, if perhaps the Dutchman was not as big a fan as some, Tadic's record in his two seasons of 13 goas and 21 assists was as good as most midfielders in the Premier in that time frame. "I am really pleased. I have had two beautiful years here and a great connection with the supporters and everyone in the club — all the players and the staff. Executive Director of Football Les Reed commented: “I am delighted that we have strengthened our commitment with DuÅ¡an, and that he has added his name to the list of players to have signed new long-term contracts in recent months.
