Convict Colony Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago Playing Style & Strengths Modern GK: Comfortable with the ball at his feet, good short distribution, suits possession-based teams. Strong shot-stopping: Fundamentally sound, quick reflexes, performed well in limited Bayern outings (e.g., solid in Pokal and UCL cameos). Commanding presence: Brave in the box, good mentality under pressure. Athletic: Decent height and agility for 1v1s and crosses. Proven at lower levels: Excellent record at Maccabi (44 clean sheets in 101 games) and Israel NT. Weaknesses Aerial/command of area: Biggest area for improvement – can be hesitant on crosses/high balls. Experience: Still raw at top level; needs consistent games to develop (reason for loans). Long distribution: Prefers short passes; less effective in direct styles. Current Form & Potential Limited minutes this season (mostly backup at HSV, some Pokal starts with 80% save rate). He's talented but stuck behind Neur at Bayern. The Southampton move should give him starts in a competitive league – ideal for growth 2

benjii Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Great to have a buy option. If it goes well that's one less thing to sort in the summer.
goodymatt Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Unless he did his medical in Germany, it’s a bit strange Fabrizio is reporting it’s all done.
bugenhagen Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Seeing as Baz kept a clean sheet and made a save today, we have probably cancelled this last minute... 1
skintsaint Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Looks a bit more agile than AM, this from a few weeks back https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR7hk1XDPtT/ Guessing we sending the keeper back to Narrrrrwich? 1
Crab Lungs Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Finally a keeper who saves things he should and shouldn’t. Finally. the defence can breathe a sigh of relief.
chownie20 Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Do think we need a keeper who can command his box, as Baz does not do that at all. However I'd be prioritising a physical number nine. Beyond that any decent manager has all the tools he requires in the squad at this level. 2
Saint_clark Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Good age, almost 150 games so not inexperienced. Know nothing else about him but it's just good to know the club are finally admitting Bazunu isn't good enough.
Turkish Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Assume McCarthy is off can’t see us having 4 glovesmen on the roster 2

I have an idea and a pair of eyes, but I trust the recruitment department.” The same goalkeeping department that scouted Bazunu, Lumley, Long and a new expensive contract for McCarthy.

No doubt when he does leave, it'll be to become our new GK coach 😂😂 1

I can’t for the life of me understand what people’s problem with Long is. It’s like complaining that your space-saver spare wheel is useless because it can’t run as fast as a regular wheel. McC leaving would make sense. Out of contract in summer and (thankfully) unlikely to get first team football here, even less so with this new bloke. 1

I think the point is, we should have brought in a keeper to compete to start instead of Long... 8
Badger Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Good luck to him and perhaps he’ll show the form that Bayern saw in him originally. Hope that as an Israeli international his time with Saints isn’t seen as reasons for others to make Palestine protests etc (might seem far fetched but you wouldn’t put it past some cretins ). 1

Osvaldorama Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 10 minutes ago, Lighthouse said: Clearly such a player wasn’t available at the time for the right price. Yeah a club that has enough spare cash to waste 8mil on a useless lump like damion downs couldn’t find enough money to spend a few mil on a decent championship keeper. Have a day off. It’s all just been incredibly poor decision making 5

What’s the point of a crappy spare wheel when the regular ones are also worn out crappy ones too?

What could go wrong If this is an accurate quote, what’s the point of even being a manager these days? No wonder players appear to be so disconnected to a club and fan base. The “together as one”mentality is long gone. We’re just a team patched together by various other people’s input with a “head coach” expected to make it all work. 3
The Wyvern Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I have no idea if this lad is good or not, but I assume we’ve disbanded our scouting network and just go with Spors’ contacts on who we can get from Germany now?

It’s really not as straight forward as some would like to believe. If it was, everyone would be doing it.

It’s really not as straight forward as some would like to believe. If it was, everyone would be doing it. The lad at Derby is miles better and cost around £2-3m less. Their keeper was only £1.5m and better than anything Saints had in goal since Forster did his knee v Burnley. They’re out there, but it requires actually watching and buying them to fit into a team, not relying on what AI spits out.
