Daniel Peretz

[saintant]

We have lost just one game out of 14 since Peretz came into the side in early January. He has made a massive difference.

[LuckyNumber7]

Sign him up. Love the guy.

Bazunu is fine for (staying in) the Championship.

Can’t agree, he’s fine for say Exeter or Bromley next year, but not for top 6 L1 let alone Champ.

Peretz is different calibre.

[skintsaint]

Can see why Bayern brought him in from Israel, probably won't be at Bayern's level but a good keeper indeed.

If we ditch Ramsdale and get our money back, €8m for Peretz would be a good deal with some left over to strengthen the squad.

[Convict Colony]

Someone better than us wil buy him, too good for us but would be delighted if we can snag him

Not really, he got away with another clanger today. To be fair, he did protect his near post, first time since joining, but otherwise didn't have much to do. he is still erratic, and still targeted by opposition as a weakness. If the ref had done his job he'd be getting grief on here (or baz would have, peretz has a lot of leeway on here, same as ramsdale and even tailspin mccarthy did, for some reason...

Any comments on today pal ?

Sign the man permenantly!

He's nowhere near Championship standard

I think you’re missing the point.

Definitely won us 3 points today MOM slightly ahead of Bree, Downes and Azaz who I thought was excellent without doing anything spectacular

I am starting to miss the days when Russell Martin confidently brushed off one fans criticism of Bazunu at a fans forum, and said “we don’t have an issue with the goalkeeper”, at which point the room gave him a standing ovation. Incredible scenes. The FAB must’ve had goosebumps 

[Hoggins]

Bazunu passed neither the statistics nor the eye test

I wouldn’t be surprised if he failed every eye test in his life 😉

Didn’t he say something like the narrative that there is an issue with the goalkeeper, Russ said we don’t and if we didn’t have him we’d sign him

Perhaps a reason why Russ is unemployed

And he seems to genuinely enjoy playing for the Saints.

Great how he came over to the away fans after getting his MotM award. Arguably the biggest position upgrade of all the recent signings.

[Dan Johnson]

That save yesterday was incomprehensibly stunning. An absolute worldie in arguably our most important game of the season. We concede then, we probably lose, credit where it’s due what a signing he has been! Both January signings have made us considerably better.

hes been getting better and better in a saints shirt and you can clearly see why he ended up at a club like Bayern Munich, what ever happens we have to sign him.

id rather have him in goal next season over ramsdale, whether we are in the premier league or not.

Sadly I think we’re going to have to shift Ramsdale first which might not be easy given he’s hardly ripped it up at Newcastle. Even if we do given his performances for us you can see other teams being interested now. Just got to hope we can come to some agreement with him before the loan ends and that we’re busy finding clubs for Ramsdale and Baz (which is going to be a big ask)

That was the same session where some old boy wearing a pink short-sleeved goalies jersey was obsessively asking after the ladies team.  Peak FAB that evening...

Do we have a option to buy with peretz? He’s not ever gonna be be first choice at Bayern so think our chances of getting him should be decent..

he’s been fantastic tbh what a difference it makes. Having a big imposing goalkeeper who makes saves and doesn’t just stand there to pick the ball out of the net like Baz

Yep, 8m euro or around that.

I would imagine he'll have a few suitors after the last few months, but I think he appreciates playing - he doesn't want to be a bench player. We need to sort out the Ramsdale situation then we will make the call on him. I just hope the Ramsdale sale doesn't drag on for weeks.

If my memory serves me correctly, Martin said he was the best keeper in the Championship....

We need to get Peretz in permanently regardless of what happens with Ramsdale. Loan him out or sell him when the chance arrives, don't piss about and miss out on Peretz.

Russell Martin strongly backed Gavin Bazunu in August 2023, stating he believed the Irish goalkeeper would be "one of the best" in the Championship.

Martin told a fans' forum that Bazunu was his number one and predicted he would be "one of the best goalkeepers in the division".

Martin described him as a massive asset and praised his courage, stating that if he were looking for a goalkeeper, he would pick Bazunu.

While Bazunu had a challenging first Premier League season, Martin credited his "incredible" intensity and ability to play out from the back, as noted in reports from Daily Echo. 

 

Corrected for you. 😉

This. Our accountants may not like it, and it will give us less of an advantage getting the best price from Ramsdale, as our hands will be a little tied behind our backs in negotiations, but it must be done!

Ramsdale probably won't leave before the end of the window anyway, so doing that first will probably mean we miss out in Peretz, There is probably a final date like 30th june or something where we have to use our option on him.
