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. 

Why would we piss about? It will be Newcastle that pisses about either looking to see if they can get better or trying to drive the price down.

Our transfer hit rate has been better than it's been for years. It's only really been Damien Downs who has been a let down. Quarsie i see as a YHGTIer who was a low cost development player. The rest have all been decent to good.

Much better. But Jelert is a poor signing. Not sure Roerslev is all that either.

Good signs that Spors knows what he is doing. Tougher to get the quality needed in the PL though. Hopefully we get see if he can do it.

Article on the BBC website stating that Bayern might have to play a 16 year old in goal tomorrow in their Champions League game.

Dont care. I love him.

Sign him FFS.

Won us the game tonight.

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...

Hehehe

[RedArmy]

Currently the best keeper in the league you’d have to say. 
 

How nice is it to have a keeper bail you out time after time. 

[pimpin4rizeal]

It’s almost like having our own Manuel Neuer this guy is top draw. Absolutely critical to our promotion push .. I’d take him over ramsdale next season tbh and I love ramsdale too .. can’t say enough good things about our Daniel ❤️

He was good today, still showing the same flaws, but he certainly has luck on his side - the misplaced pass, the two fumbles from straightforward saves and once again, the oppo commentators picked him out as a weakness - I think a lot of credit needs to go to the back 4 (manning aside) for the way they have tightened us up.

I'm just hoping he stays lucky through the cup finals.

Yeah he is getting all the luck poor old Bazunu never did. Also worth mentioning he understands all about positioning, he opens his gob to his defenders, makes worldy saves, punches the ball and is half decent with his feet too so yeah agree, he's quite lucky.

Baz, I can understand now why you’re such a shit ‘keeper. You’re blind as a bat! 

[davefizzy14]

Peretz is absolutely outstanding 😊 Hope we can tie up a permanent deal for him.

[Dan Johnson]

When was the last tIme we had a keeper better than Peretz?

I’d take Peretz over Ramsdale, Bazunu, McCarthy.

Maybe Early Forster, Niemi, Boruc are the only keepers in the last 20 years that could give him a run for his money.

sign him up every day of the week for €8m!! We get to the prem and he performs like this we’d have a £40-£50m keeper on our hands.

[Saint Shady]

It’s hard to say at this point whether he is better than Ramsdale as I think he’s a quality keeper. I agree though that he’s better or at least as good so far as early Forster and Boruc. Niemi is still the man though!

Hi Baz or pingpong, you have opened another account?

[Miltonaggro]

Someone the other day mentioned that Peretz was our best keeper since Niemi. At the time I thought, that’s a bit OTT. Not any more! 

[Lord Duckhunter]

We’d have gone up automatically last time if we had a decent keeper, as it was we only made it through the play offs because Baz got injured. 
 

There’s not many times when football arguments are settled conclusively, but this is one which has been. The people defending Baz were totally and utterly wrong, he was as bad as some of us thought, and we have a lot more points because he’s gone.

Isn't Jelert here on season long loan?

Yeah. I certainly wouldn't say he was a poor signing. Ok he's a bit small but he seems a decent enough Championship player. Good at tackling, passing and is pretty quick. He was essentially signed as back up to Roerslev at the time (who has actually been a poor signing) 

[Midfield_General]

Brian Clough said having a good goalkeeper meant putting 15 extra points on your points total by the end of the season. 

How many has Peretz won us already by making huge match winning saves at pivotal points in close games - 9 at least?

It's impossible to put a figure on it. A goalkeeper is just one part of a team.

[HKsaint]

But I am afraid that if we stay in the Championship next season, we will be stuck with Baz.

Come on Gavin, just drop it. Sorry for the cheap pun.

[Football Special]

He's been absolutely superb last few games and keeps getting better. We're so lucky he's stayed fit with Mccarthy out for a couple of months, last night we had non-league keeper Jamie Jones on the bench ffs

So is a centre forward, and there are lots of things that need to happen throughout a team for goals to be scored, but goals win matches and in basic terms that’s how value is generally measured for that position. It’s the same with big saves at pivotal points in a close game, which can be the difference between grinding out a win or dropping points, which is what Clough was talking about.

"He's better than Ramsdale"

See, I did it.

[Turkish]

Anyone else getting really excited about how much we can sell him for if we do sign him?

[S-Clarke]

The biggest thing for me is why did it take so fricking long for a professional football club, full of professional scouts, analysts and coaches to realise we needed an actual goalkeeper to be succesful? This Bazunu project has been to the detriment of this club, and even if he returns this summer, I hope this experience with Peretz hammers home the fact that we've been playing without an actual goalkeeper for quite some time, bar the few games in the PL with Ramsdale.

If this doesn't concentrate minds, I don't know what else will. I'd love us to sign Peretz, but even if that ship sails and he has other options, I want this experience we've had to be used as club-wide realisation that we need spend on a goalkeeper either way.

Someone please remind me what the loan deal actually was. I recall there was a supposed fee of 8 million euros mentioned when he signed, but I'm not clear whether we have a straightforward option to buy, or whether Bayern can just take him back and start bargaining , or ......?

Please don’t do that HK my old pal. The thought of that useless plank coming back to haunt us is terrifying.

[Pilchards]

Something he does which is clever.

On a point blank shot or header he goes behind the goal line which gives him a fraction of a second longer to try and stop the shot.

You don’t see any keepers do that which surprises me.

Keepers that don’t do that, are still fine for the championship though.

His positioning in general is outstanding.

Also he moves his feet really well, which should be a basic skill for a keeper but lots of them don't. Not just Baz, although he was appalling for it, but for example that free kick that Vicario let in against Liverpool was because he didn't move his feet, and you see it surprisingly often at all levels if you know what you're looking for. Joe Hart was terrible for it as well, especially when it was to his left.

Said it before and I'll say it again - the way the club just apparently refused point blank to accept that Bazunu was crap is like nothing I've ever seen before in terms of going all-in on a single player. 

Look at Downs. We bought him, we played him, we saw he was crap, we tried to persevere for a bit to give him a chance but after four months it was obvious he wasn't up to it so we shipped him out. His value will take a knock but so be it, that's football. 

With Bazunu, he got three and a half years, the majority of which was first team football. A few contrarians will try to find a way to defend him, but he was incredibly average to poor the entire time - everyone could see it with their eyes and every single metric backed it up, consistently, for that period. What the hell was going on that he gets three and a half years? Even after we finally loaned him out the first time because he was consistently rubbish, he came back and went back into the first team for yet another go.

It can't just be that we didn't want his value to depreciate - he only cost £12m which really isn't a lot now and wasn't when we bought him either. Downs was £7m and he only got four months.

Something very, very odd went on there.
