Since we signed Bazunu he’s won more league games against Chelsea than McCarthy has won at St Mary’s.

How many games at Wembley did he win?

Bazunu's move means they will now be known as Boltoff

He'll probably make some spectacular saves against us and keep a clean sheet

It is, I was expecting to pay them at least £6.5m to take him…

Bazunu done deal.

 What a window… 10/10 

[Miltonaggro]

Forever memories of our reverse Shilton - worth -20 points to any side in a season. Very best of luck to Bolton! 

[hypochondriac]

Actually getting rid of Bazunu and not on loan is just superb. I never have to worry that he will play for my team ever again.

[Badger]

Any fee mentioned or rumoured ?

Maybe he'll be our 2036 veteran returnee signing?

Signed by legendary manager James Ward Prowse

Pity we couldn't tape Stephens to him like some pound shop BOGOF deal.

[Cuddles]

I wonder if we've made a decent saving on wages? We were doing some pretty mental stuff at the time...

[Saint Scott]

Gavin Bazunu, the Ali Dia of the goalkeeping world.

Only would saints be stupid enough to sign both

[St Chalet]

From memory we signed 6 x City Players in short order. THB, Shea and Lavia all made (will make big money for us)

Bazunu, Larius and Edozie cost us.

Knit one, pearl one.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Always liked Bolton

Larios, just what the fuck was that about!? The lad had the physique of a toddler.

Nothing against the lad. Another product of our horrendous scouting at the time. Hope he gets a decent look in at Bolton. 

[Hawkswood]

So so so glad its over. Nothing against him as a person obviously, but an awful goalkeeper. Wish him well anywhere else.

At least wait until after we've played them, we can all see it surely, clean sheet , man of the match etc

Bless, lazy Bolton fan already having to use spygate as an excuse for Bazunu’s actual GK ability.

I know I’m in a minority here but I wish him all the best at Bolton. Clearly thrown in at the deep end and is not a PL player but he was the man between the sticks for the longest unbeaten run in a century and played the lions share of our promotion season, so fair play to him for that.

I don’t think the continuous turnover in players, managers, leagues and two pretty serious injuries has done his form or confidence by good. Since his debut in 2022 to his return against Wrexham three years later, Jack Stephens was the only other player still at the club. Hopefully he has a couple of settled seasons up at Bolton and rediscovers his rhythm.

Yeah, good post,  this is actually a fair response. He’s shit, but it’s not his fault he was thrown out of his depth.
 

You’ve made me feel bad about my post now, even if it was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek

Stoke fans forum Oatcake was saying similar things a few months ago - then they saw him actually play for more than one match. Then there was Stoke v Millwall….

Ignore them, the nickname is derived from the Sunday roast they have up there.

Another great signing 

championship club now minimum 

buzzing from this one

belting signing The whites are on the up

I thought he died in 1980, brilliant he was. Earl’s Court May 24th 1975, the same day England beat Scotland 5-1. Best gig ever.

[Willo of Whiteley]

BREAKING: Bolton confirmed their relegation to League 1 today.

[SNSUN]

Stoke realised how bad he was but unfortunately for us he was only on loan and they could send him back. Bolton are stuck with him. They've had Jaaskelainen to enjoy in goal and now they get Baz. 

They'll realise, in time. It probably won't be a long time, but They'll realise. It's much like the deluded Leicester fans thinking Russell Martin can't be that bad because he got us promoted, without looking at the bigger picture.

Of course I wish him all the best but the fact is he is comfortably the worst professional keeper I have ever seen.

Surprised Man City didn’t activate their buy back clause 😂.

[BotleySaint]

Can't believe we are rid of him for good. All those goals he let in and all that time the club persisted with him as number 1. What a waste of time.

[saintant]

Still remember the indignation and sheer arrogance of Russboy when somebody dared to question Baz's ability at a Fans Forum. Baz has been proving Russ wrong ever since.
