    There are no sure bets; we can be certain only of which teams will get to play in the CL this coming season. Chelsea won't be one of them.

    Hard to say what Tadic is worth. Might depend on whether we think that we need to sell him owing to his contract situation or not.

    Leverkusen doesn't make a tonne of sense, though...even with CL football, they probably don't need to spend big on another wide player.

    No point in letting go a player whom we know and who is familiar with us at anything less than double what it would take to replace him. He's a keeper.

    We bought him for £10 million. Had two good seasons in the PL, especially last season. £20 million player.

    Were Chelsea ever interested in Schneiderlin last season before we sold him?

    I'd love to keep him; just need to get pen to paper on an extension.

    Is the Tadic talk just lazy journalism, based on the falling out he had last season with his national coach and his dislike of Koeman?
    I thought the latest vibes were that he was a happier bunny.

    I'm sure you will all be shocked to find that I don't mind selling Tadic if the price is right and/or he doesn't want to stay and/or he doesn't fit with Puel's tactics.

    15-20m would be an okay price by me. Possibly we could get more, I would be playing hardball with Schalke knowing that they are both flush with cash and in need should Sane go.

    If Tadic wants a pay rise/extension, it's reasonable for the club to offer him one as well. Should still have at least 2-3 good seasons left and has looked quite good at times, and there is reason to believe he could flourish now that Koeman is gone.

    Would optimally prefer to just sell him next year or let him run out his contract, but that option might be off the table.

    Tadic is a player the club need to now put the foot down over. Keeper, we have no other creative players like him.

    Two people suggesting Tadic is a keeper.

    I thought we'd all established his best position was left wing??

    So essentially Koeman wants the same system as Saints, but with a blank cheque book for all transfers. And the bloke signed a new contract at Leicester only 6 weeks ago!

    That sounds convincing regarding a contract extension.

    He sounds rather loyal, him and Koeman should get on well!

    I know that - I'm just saying he'll get Champions League wherever he moves, so he will not be jumping the Leicester ship and taking a backwards step.
