Tweaked it for you

It did occur to me to caveat that when asking the question... It is still school holiday season after all....

Good job we've got a top-notch recruitment team who'll obviously spend it wisely... Ah...

That'll be certain other posters rubbing off on me...

And there was me thinking a club with aspirations to go up automatically this season would want a top level player (in this division) in such a key position to maximise our chances of achieving that aim... Maybe I'm just a tad too old fashioned...

Where would you rank him versus his peers in this division? Genuine question.

Cheers for the info. So, is anyone happy that a team with the 19th best keeper in the league is well placed to push for automatic promotion?

No, I think some people are "melting down" because it rubber stamps Bazunu as our first choice keeper and without a decent 2nd choice keeper pushing for his place. Lol

That only stacks up if you're happy that Bazunu is one of the best keepers in the division. If that's your viewpoint then fair enough.

Nope, too sensible...

Classic first post. Take a bow sir 🤣

For those who don't see having Bazunu as our No.1 keeper as a significant issue, where would you rank him amongst all other championship keepers? Genuinely interested. If Bazunu is one of the best keepers in the division then I have no issue with getting in a squad filler as 3rd choice.

So, now it's been rubber-stamped that Bazunu will be our first choice keeper, where do we rate him amongst his Championship peers? Obviously, to be challenging for automatic promotion we need to aspire to have the best (or almost best) players in all positions, or at the very least in the key positions, such as goalkeeper. So can anyone name 2, or more, better keepers than Bazunu in this division...?

Martin may well be better at coaching, per se, the trouble is, often what he coaches isn't necessarily the best fit for the players he's coaching....

Indeed. And this is what the "don't worry, we've got proven players at this level" fraternity conveniently turn a blind to. If the players' hearts and souls aren't fully committed to the club then it doesn't matter a jot how good they are technically and what they've achieved at this level before....

@Matthew Le God - grateful if you could let this poster know that our recruitment team is currently working 24/7. Cheers 👍🏻

Send in an another offer "over the next two days"?! Don't the club realise that everyone works around the clock in the lead up to the window SLAMMING shut? Get it done already FFS!

7 days, 21 hours, 43 minutes, and 19 seconds until the window SLAMS shut... Tick tock...

Defo the sort of tenacious player we need. Good call. Bring him home!

ITK or hunch?

Which four matches would that be then...? 🤦🏻

Agreed... It always pays dividends being positive about Saints at the start of the season... You don't get to look foolish that way.... Ah....

Worrying signs indeed... that Still could be as inept as Martin...
