Not in the squad today; presumably picked up a knock?
Standard have transfer-listed the keeper who Bazunu replaced apparently, not that that's of any relevance to Bazunu of course. But he was back in the lineup today and seemed to do ok. Wonder could he keep the spot for the last couple of games?

Bazunu is injured - and is apparently heading back to Southampton for treatment - and that is a concern.
In the last game he played I noticed that he slipped when kicking out the ball near the end of the game and when he got up he was limping. Here is hoping it is not a problem with his achilles tendon.

Ramsdale moving to Newcastle it seems, so presumably Bazunu will be first choice for Southampton this season

Great news for him. An achilles tear for a goalkeeper in particular must be so hard to overcome so its a big season for him ahead. Bazunu, Ferguson and Omobamidele all must have injury free seasons and regain the hype/excitement that was around them in their late teens

Southampton forums not impressed with the idea of Bazunu starting for them. He needs to start well to keep them.off his back.

Hes never really been loved by the fans there, would be a good time to shut a few up

100%. The only way for him to look at it. Huge season for him.

Bazunu is still a kid in goalkeeping terms - and he has had his development stunted by the injury. As long as he gets through the season injury free it will be a positive for him. As for the Southampton fans - they are perpetual moaners - can't blame them really given they support a yo-yo club. While Still is a rather unknown quantity - Southampton have enough players to be in the mix for promotion and that will help Bazunu.

All reasons why it is such a huge season for him. This is one where he needs to stay injury-free, he needs to play a strong role in Southampton coming back up and he needs to reset his reputation in terms of being one of the top rated global prospects in the game only a few seasons ago. Its not make or break, far from it, but its one where you'd fear for his trajectory if it goes wrong.

Interesting to see James Trafford heading back to City for around £30m. They're the same year group and Bazunu was generally more highly rated when they were both at City a few years back.
There will be a English player premium attached to the Trafford fee, and the last time he was in the Premier League he was dreadful, but it still shows the ground Bazunu has lost in the last two years.

Kind of a key point is that Trafford didnt snap his achilleas tendon in fairness!

To be fair to Trafford he was appalling in the Premier league absolutely horrific but he got himself together and had an excellent season last season in the championship. Last summer burnley fans absolutely wanted rid of him just like Southampton fans want Gav gone now. Gave basically needs to do the same this season and show the fans he is the man for the job
