Your son is still shit, Mr Bazunu.

Have to admit I might have to concede the debate now that Dirkdiggler is quoting someone with this in depth level of football knowledge...

Those lists are just subjective opinions with no evidence quoted to back it up. I prefer judging ability from the objective statistical record alongside my own eyes rather than putting stock in the opinion of (checks) Abdullahi Ishola from topsoccerblog.com, who lists Bazunu being of Nigerian descent as a reason that he is highly rated.

Seasons started and he's first choice for them, seems a reasonable price to me IF we believe he can progress to be a Prem player.

It's really not. The defenders may give up chances but that has no bearing on whether he has the ability to make the save at the end of it. So you're going to put stock in THAT but not statistical analysis which is used by experts throughout the professional game world wide to judge performance? 😂

That's irrelevant to the quality of the chance and the likelihood of it being scored or saved.

Guess you don't understand how it's calculated then. And it absolutely is valid. It shows that Bazunu conceded 16 chances that historically keepers were more likely to save than not.

That's exactly what that figure is "worrying" about. It's saying that he conceded more goals than expected to based on the quality of the chances, and when compared to the record of other keepers came out worse than any other.

A loan move might be an interesting option. If we get promoted then we get him back with a years experience at a top Bundesliga side. If they want to sign him we have the Prem pulling power to demand a high fee. If we don't get promoted and they want to sign him, he'll clearly still be worth a lot. One thing we shouldn't do is loan him with an option to buy as that limits the fee we can receive.

This thinking makes no sense to me. Adams might get injured so we better sell him for £15million. Then we sign a replacement probably for similar money, who may not settle in, may not click with the players or may just not be as good - and then he might get injured next week as well. Either way we're gambling £15million, at least with Adams he knows the team, is settled, has had a pre-season with the squad and the manager and has started the season with 3 goals in 3 games.

Interesting point. 8% of the squad were black. 4% of the UK population is black. In the interest of representational diversity we should drop either Carter or James from the squad. (Disclaimer - clearly not serious).

Regardless of him not being convicted of rape the audio clip that came out makes it very obvious that he was trying to.

Absolutely not, under no circumstances.

Dark blue shorts of the home kit would clash with Spains.

Muric and Woodman spring to mind but I'm not sure beyond that. I think that's why a scouting department exists though.

Just rolled my eyes. I don't understand how the club can be so oblivious to such an obvious weak link which would cost a relatively small amount to rectify - as in, it would cost less to buy one of the championships top keepers last season than it would to buy the top scorer.

And an assist in open play. I feel sick.

Another ward prowse assist. Depressing.

I think "aggression" would cover it rather than just signing "top, nice lads".

It's identical to almost all of his corners for us. We just had no set up or players to take advantage of it.

Years and years of people complaining about JWPs corners and West Ham score from his first one. Maybe our set up and centrebacks were just wank?

And they score from it. Fucking hell.

I'm not forcing you to reply to my posts. I'm fully entitled to post on here same as anyone else. I've never hidden the fact that I think he's shit. I am still fully open to changing my opinion.

We'll see. My opinion is he's shit and will never come good. Let's see how he progresses 👍

That's why I'm keeping track of it to see how it progresses.
