What's he like with his feet? In all seriousness, Bazunu is a key part of our build up and replacing him with someone who can't pass (i.e a McCarthy type) would be as detrimental as keeping crisp packet hands Baz. 

We need someone who is competant at playing out and can actually make saves. I don't know who that would be 😃

 

Fuck knows, but DNA wise I think he’s likely about 90% more goalkeeper than Bazza.

Few links emerging linking us with a January loan move for Daniel Peretz the Bayern reserve keeper (currently loaned to Hamburg, but not getting games). Previously a bit of a star for MTA. Big strong keeper, touch of the Boruc about him. Good move all round if it happens. 

I saw that. It would be a good move

Hopefully we can find more talent from Germany 🇩🇪

If you think he’s the worst keeper in the football league, then carry on I’m not saying you’re wrong. Maybe I am just a weird contrarian. However come January, don’t be surprised to find out the club are satisfied with winning ‘in spite of crisp pocket wrists’ and we don’t sign someone to replace him.

 

No one has said he is the worst and the fact that your only justification seems to be, he has a better record than our other keepers, doesn't make him 'decent' either. We could live with 'decent'. For 'decent', see 'steady'. He is neither. You can't quote data as a defence while ignoring more pertinent data of him being consistently toward the lower performing keepers in whatever division he has been in, since being good on loan at Pompey. I know, discussions about him are everywhere but I would welcome a truly steady keeper alongside a similarly steady 7 / 10 number 9 to be a focal point of our attack, particularly when Scienza goes off or isn't available so we can revert to a plan B that doesn't invite the opposition to our defensive third.

Seen a video of him where he pings lots of superb long balls which are inch perfect. Makes plenty of decent saves helped by getting his angles right. Looks to have hands like flypaper rather than crisp packets as he catches quite a few balls that were hit hard which is quite unusual in modern day keepers who tend to parry everything.
