BBC appear to think he is only on loan. But the match report puts the blame firmly on Baz.

"Gavin Bazunu's error from Jarrod Bowen's shot handed them victory in a hard-fought contest with Bolton Wanderers.

Bazunu made his Bolton debut in place of Jack Bonham and the on-loan Southampton goalkeeper had performed well before he allowed Bowen's 77th-minute shot to pass underneath his hand."

He better not be.

Just got in from the game. How’d he go tonight? Guessing a calm assured solid performance where he slipped largely under the radar and didn’t draw attention  to himself at all?

I actually felt a chill down my spine watching the "explosive" reaction that happens a fraction (or two, or three or four) too late, and it makes the clip look like it has been edited, but no - that is indeed vintage Baz.

I am so happy I don't have to watch him ever again in a Saints shirt!

  Careful.  We have a habit of " bringing them home "

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

He's already deleted it, straight after Bazunu's debut :lol:

Thankfully I got a screenshot of the plain text so it can still be enjoyed

I'm amazed Leicester didn't sign him tbh. 

Still find it utterly bizarre that Russell needed a keeper, bought one from us, but went for Macca instead of Baz. 

Not even sure that Macca's wages would have been that much less. 

A move that just doesn't make any sense on any level. 

Can only assume that Martin was bullshitting when he used to rave about how important Baz was to his team.

He has duped several club boards by doing just that.

Leicester didn't buy McCarthy from us, they got him for free. We were obviously holding out for a better fee for Bazunu and then accepted a nominal one right at the deadline. If we'd been saying Bazunu can go anywhere for free / loan from the start of the summer then I'd imagine Martin would've tried to get him

McCarthy as a 36yo free agent probably also more willing to fit a L1 wage structure than Bazunu at 24yo while still in contract with Saints too

What does “good pedigree” even mean? What are the attributes that qualify him for that?

Seems to me that it’s entirely based on the “he used to be at Man City” factor. Well so did the equally horrific Juan Larios.

Might help us and other teams too - some forwards/players will get inside the box and think it is easy to plonk a shot at the near post and a normal goalie will save it.

I watched it and it was just the way it pongled in - but also from a goalies point of view [you all know now I have never stopped banging on about it] I felt his positioning was bad, as the player cut in I would have be further off the line - first thing that does is either make him try and square it or probably shoot to the left where it might be easier to save.

I wasn't great but I was good at angles and saving shots - my height runined it for me, crosses etc I was useless, also when it started that the goalie needed to be able to play football [I always remember you weren't allow to pick up passbacks, I hated that] I was just getting close to retriing thank goodness.

That is a very good point. I forgot we'd released Macca and he was a free agent. Fair dos. 

Edit: By which I mean his contract had ended. Thanks @Whitey Grandad :)

Not actually released of course. His contract came to a end and thankfully was not renewed.

Did Bolton pay us for him? Haven't seen a transfer fee reported anywhere.

People in this forum said we pay them instead. I thought it was true.
