Stud mark of doom Posted March 22 Posted March 22 The truly massive upgrade we have seen from Baz to Peretz has made me think - can anyone think of an example where we have gone from so poor to so good in one hop. I genuinely can’t. 1
Toadhall Saint Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Some would say that there has not been that great of an upgrade but they are few and far between. 😉 1 10
Holmes_and_Watson Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Boruc in for Davis/Gazzaniga? Like Baz, I was very late in seeing that Davis really wasn't up to it in the PL. 9

Boruc coming in that season was massive for us, Davis had been excellent in the EFL but it was clear he wasn’t at full time Prem keeper level. I remember the thread on here being much like the Peretz one with a few people saying he wasn’t good enough, and one poster in particular saying he’d cost us more points than he would save us. Even he had changed his mind by the end of the season. Edited March 22 by bpsaint 3
Lord Duckhunter Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Peretz for Baz is clearly one of the biggest upgrades I can remember. The only one that comes close in the last few years was Ramsdale for Baz… 6

SaintTex Posted Monday at 19:08 Posted Monday at 19:08 i was going to say surely when VVD started the 2015-16 season, but then i realized he replaced Alderweireld, who at the time was quality as well. Â so not as drastic of a quality leap.
