Peretz signing feels like it will give us a massive lift. To get it done so early in the window, and particularly after all the recent shite. Super pleased. He has been a rock at the back for us since Jan. Will THB be encouraged to stay if he knows his hard work will be supported by having Boruc mk2 behind him? 🤞

Peretz must be confident that Eckhert will be manager if that's one of the main reasons he is signing.

Step 1: Sign Peretz Step 2: Beat Boro Step 3: Success

Welcome news, and a sign of intent for the season ahead.

Outstanding.

Absolutely this, love his commentary, think his views are balanced and well thought through. Don’t always agree with him but I very much enjoy his input whether I agree or not. I hope he continues to cover Saints long into the future. going home with Adam and Jo, highlights with their commentary, and the Football Martin Channel for that matter, are now very much part of my post game enjoyment

Getting our hopes up and then it falling through at the 11th hour would be the most Saints-y thing ever.

This needs a heart emoji reaction

Lets just all be happy that if Peretz does sign we'll never have to see f**king crisp packet wrists in goal for us again. 63% save record this season makes him statistically the worst keeper in the league. I had hoped we'd already seen the last of him when he went on loan. Sadly he's let in some absolute stinkers for them, so now their fans think he's crap too and I doubt they'll make it a permanent transfer. Best case, I reckon we can offload him for half what we paid for him but it'll probably be another loan. I'm talking about Ramsdale BTW.

I’ve been supporting Leicester city since 1960 but Martin will be the end of the line for me.

Yep. Peretz Bree Stephens Wood Manning Matsuki Downes Bragg Edozie Azaz Stewart/Larin Is still a damn good championship team. You never know we could even keep one of THB, Scienza or Jander which would be even better.

While he is still contracted to us, it's best not to take any chances.

Why do people still people still feel the need to put the boot into Bazunu? Get over it, he’s unlikely to ever play for us again.

With respect, you’re missing the point - they were asked to do something that they felt uncomfortable with because it felt wrong (and was wrong, per EFL rules). That is entirely different from being pressured to deliver a legitimate piece of work by your boss. There was documented evidence of WhatsApp messages exerting pressure to do this, despite their reticence, which is why the judge described it as ‘deplorable’.

Agree, he’s a decent lad and I like his enthusiasm. Works really hard at his content, and you can’t fault his commitment. Love hearing from his Dad, always talks so much sense.

If we really are going to sign Peretz on a permanent basis, I will fly over to wherever he lives, pick him up, drive him to the airport, fly over with him in the plane, and then drive him to Southampton myself. Then I'll fly back here to the US and bring Gavin Bazunu with me. Our local girl's elementary school needs a new keeper, and he'd probably do alright for their under 9's to be fair.

Of the three I think we absolutely need to keep Downes. Shea and Casper both peaked higher but were streaky in big patches. Cam Brag is going to have a big season for us, especially if Tonda doesn't get suspended. Think we desperately need cover on the wings and possibly right back depending on contracts.

Horrific.

Signing Peretz on a permanent deal after everything that's happened may be the least Sants-y thing I've seen us do in decades.
