Gavin Bazunu G Southampton b.2002

[Razors left peg]

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

Ramsdale leaves Southampton for Newcastle to potentially free up the starting jersey for Bazunu, but only on loan. So, if Bazunu has a good season and Southampton gets promoted, there's still a chance Ramsdale could come back in for a fifth career relegation the following season.

Like losing, 4 husbands or 4 wives, getting relegated five times would start to look down-right careless !

Newcastle do have an option to buy, so he’d need to do badly enough that Newcastle don’t want to keep him, and well enough that he keeps Bazunu out.

Sadly it’s not as unlikely as it sounds

Let's not forget Bazunu has already been relegated three times and is four years younger...

He's unlikely to add to that total this year anyway. I don't see much point in worrying about future seasons now. He needs to have a good steady season to quiet any doubts over lingering effects of his injury. We'll know a lot more after three or four rounds of matches, and that division kicks off next week.
