    Those stats are from the dutch league, it'll be slightly harder to achieve them against City, Chelsea and so on, than against Groningen, NEC, NAC and the lot.

    Forgive me asking if this is an ignorant question, but how do you feel about Saints signing a Serb? No offence intended and apologies if any taken.

    if he repeats those stats this season he'll be the best player in Europe.

    Tadic is an individual...not a stereotype. The Dutch fans seem happy with him, so presumably he hasn't done anything distasteful.

    Well, why would the Dutch have anything to say about it? I think FLT was more referring to any residual tension between Croatia and Serbia. Having just been there and discussing the war with people I didn't get the impression that was the case.

    Thought he meant the racism at matches.

    No, by all accounts young Dusan seems like a nice boy. :)

    That was what I was asking. I was being tentative as I am ignorant of current feelings in that area. Nobody has to answer it, I just asked so I could be educated of brought up to date.

    Seems Dušan has now joined Beswick Sports Agency, the same group who are the representatives for Jay Rodriguez.

    They've tweeted, welcoming him - and Jay has retweeted the welcome message with a photo of Dušan in the red and white stripes.

    What does that mean exactly? I'm not aware of their work.

    Non taken.

    I don't mind us signing a Serb, I don't judge people by their nationality. It's true there are still extreme right wing nationalists in both Croatia and Serbia and they despise each other, but the younger generations in both countries are largely unburdened by the war (there are exceptions, though).

    Whilst I agree, the same was said about SRL and his stats against Rochdale, Hartlepool and Dagenham and Redbridge.

    For the record, how do you feel about us potentially giving the captaincy to a Frenchman? :D

    Or even with common politeness (if they are Parisian waiters).

    It was only the Normans. I'm always sure to make that distinction because I refuse to give France that win.
