Not being funny but what sort of a club would throw a keeper in with a guaranteed first team spot as first choice that has no experience at that level oh wait……..

I just hope with connections being member part of the global CoT network they read my post of him, that but for bad luck, he’s a cross between Peter Schmichel and Andre Pirlo and someone comes in for him like he deserves

So like I said after 2-3 performances when he’d not played for 6 months and had no pre season people would be writing him off 😂😂😂

Charlton 1 Southampton 5 Charlton had 2 shots on target with Baz in goal Blackburn 2 Southampton 1 Blackburn had 6 shots on target with McCarthy in goal Yet Baz wins the points per game stats there

they are both based on championship appearances so i dont see why they aren't directly comparable. Based simply on the stat of goals per game i provided and no other context you can draw a conclusion that AA is better than Harry Kane, couldnt you? You can use stats anyway you want. Your "more concrete than most i've seen" points per match stat isn't the drop the mic moment you seem to think it is.

Who is the better striker? Harry Kane averages 0.25 goals a game in the championship Adam Armstrong averages 0.34 goal a game

Now put some context around those stats

Based on?

Isnt this the place to be outraged about everything?

Just been reading up on him. Hes only played 5 games in 2 years after moving to Germany from Israel. Appears to have a lot of potential but very much unproven. I suspect he might be coming in as back up or competition to Baz rather than immediate replace.

it's the Guardian what do you expect? Some of the opinion pieces are beyond ridiculous, very quick to label everything far right as well. Sadly some people seem to take opinion pieces as FACT.

A goalkeeper who saves shots!! 🧠 Summary of Daniel Peretz’s Strengths Strength Description Shot-stopping reflexes Quick reactions to close and long-range shots Penalty prowess Excellent at saving penalties and decisive moments Aerial command Confident in crosses and set-piece situations Modern distribution Good with feet, helps build from back Composure and leadership Calm under pressure, directs defence

would THRIVE in a 4-2-3-1 Expected Goals this Season (Championship 2025/26): Optimistic projection: 8–10 goals Realistic development target: 6–8 goals If struggles continue: 3–5 goals Best Tactical Fit for Downs 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 Ball served into the box and runs in behind Supported by wide players and creative #10

The way i see it is that the issue with 3 at the back isnt that all our centre backs are shit, it's that they're all similar. All ball playing type centre backs who lack leadership, power and pace. Quarsie was meant to be the big, strong, powerful one but he isn't really ready yet, Stephens is meant to be the leader but isn't the other 3 all quite similar. None of them particularly dominant or mobile.

I suspect if we all wrote down what we thought our best team and formation is 90% of people would pick one not far off that, with maybe a few different players, Wellington or Charles in for Manning or Downes for example.
