Fucking biased twats, gutter press. Had Middlesbrough signed a Bayern reserve keeper it would be all over the front pages…..

I mean he's no George Long...

If someone inexperienced came in and made the mistakes Peretz did against Charlton, Preston, Ipswich and Doncaster, they aren't going to be as forgiving as Saints fans.

You kept doing this with AR as well .  Because  you hung your hat on Baz & were constantly wrong about him, you tried to play down AR performances. 
 

You’re now doing it with this guy. Saying he’s “decent” for the championship, going on about his “mistakes”. The truth is both are 2 or 3 levels above Baz, and Peretz is actually a level above any keeper I’ve seen us play outside of the top flight. The upgrade from Baz to him, is probably the biggest jump in quality I’ve seen from a direct replacement in a Southampton shirt and I’m sure most supporters will agree.

Somebody commented that Bayern fans were unanimously happy to see the back of Peretz and thought it was strange. I don't think it is, for reasons I've already explained. If you think Bayern fans are all wrong, you're welcome to sign up to their forum and tell them that the goals he conceded against Mainz or Kaiserslauten or whoever, "would have been six with Bazunu in goal FFS!" then you crack on.

So far, all we know about Peretz is that he's decent at this level. So were Vydra, Armstrong, Rasiak, Kelvin, Akinbeye, Holt, Bednarek, Fox, Hooiveld and countless other players I CBA listing. Hopefully we get to find out in 15 months or so that he can make the step up better than the other players I mentioned.

He was decent against Man City, Arsenal and Fulham, who I believe are PL level.

He saves way more shots than Baz ever did. That'll do for me.

I other words a massive upgrade on Bazunu.

Good to see Bazunu improving - up to third bottom, possibly the first time he's been that high. 👍

Peretz done his groin. They're not going to play Long ahead of Ramsdale for the derby, surely!? 

[Lighthouse]

If Peretz is out, I expect we’d play Ramsdale even though he’s not normally on the bench, much like we did with McCarthy when Bazunu got injured in 2024. Or at least that’s what I hope would happen.

[LGTL]

If we don’t play Ramsdale now the entire fucking club should fold.

If they don't then there seriously needs to be some fucks thrown in their general direction.

Might have a problem with having to pay a large sum of money to Arsenal if he plays one more game for us.

Yes it’s pretty shit especially if Long fucks up against the skates and costs us a result.

Dragan needs to suck it up then and pay Arsenal, fucked up on Spygate but a home defeat to them in the same division is SR Game Over. They will never be forgiven.

Peretz would be back in, I'm sure of it.

However he hasn't quite hit the levels of last season. Both in terms of shot stopping and especially distribution. 

Maybe Ramsdale coming in and playing well could give him some extra motivation?

Whats the cost of Ramsdale playing one more game? Haven't we already paid for him. I think if we dont play hime and he gets 3 games then difficult to sell him. Peretz out for while I think as groin strain takes ages to heal. I tore a groin ligament playing football and took 2 months to get back 

[LiberalCommunist]

We need competition. Its good for the squad. Anyone who doesn't want competition will become a problem. 

Play him.

He’s played 30 league games already in the PL for us. 31 feels like a weird trigger point.

That seems exactly what it is, I dont think they wanted to play him as they thought he'd be an easy sell, now he's still here a choice has to be made, if DP is out for say 6wks I think AR plays, if DP is a week then Long plays even if it is the skates  the management dont have the same feelings as the fans for the fixture 

[Turkish]

Our keeper will have fuck all to do when we play them. We could play the honey monster in goal and we’d still win. They’re shit. we will bet them with George Long in goal plucking a few over hit long balls on the edge of the area 

[Dark Munster]

If Ramsdale comes in while Peretz is out....
Long: "You promised I'd be number two, why is Aaron playing instead of me?"
Tonda: "Don't worry, you're still number two, Aaron is the new number one."

[manji]

Aaron will love to play. He will be well aware of the importance of the fixture and will give 100%.

I totally agree but I can’t see Long coming in and giving less than 100% himself.

I think many of us are going to be very disappointed with this Skates game especially if we may have a new manager and no Rambo in the team.

I'd give 100% too, but doesn't mean I'd be any good.

You are guessing on that 

We're still paying his transfer fee installments and wages anyway so he's still costing us 

Use him 

[St. Ciervo]

Are you sure we couldn't shoehorn Jack into goal?

[ant]

If we're that dead-set on flogging Ramsdale, giving him a few 'shop window' appearances surely wouldn't be a bad thing. Further payments due would be offset by any fee paid for him, and points gained could be invaluable come the end of the season. 

Sport Republic and logic, though...

Dont take it as a given that one more game triggers "a large sum of money" to Arsenal just because Pilchards speculates that it might, very few people will know the specific contract details between the clubs, it might be a milestone but also quite possibly not. 

If his salary contains a lower basic rate with higher match appearance bonus then thats fine, worth paying additional when needed

Saganowski syndrome...play out yer skin to earn the move....

[Lighthouse]

The biggest problem in defence, this season and last is Wood, not the keeper. Peretz first league game last season was a 2-1 home defeat to Hull, where we were still playing the back five with Wood in the middle. Then we drop him and revert to a back four, with the added advantage of a proper target man in the team in Larin, and suddenly we’re defending properly and winning games. Then at the end of the season Wood comes back into the team, suddenly we’re shipping bags of crappy goals again, as in the 2-2 draws with Bristol and Ipswich.

This season Wood is regularly in the team and we’ve not kept a clean sheet in eight games, nine if you count that West Ham sh*t show. Even the game he didn’t start, up at Lincoln, we brought him on in the 85th minute and conceded three minutes later.
