Good enough to be number 2 next season?

Be the worst thing for him.

Not next season, maybe the year after. Has to get some high end championship/low end prem experience before then.

Ideal scenario. Sign him up for 5/6 years, then loan him to a club like you mention where he will get loads of game time.
In 12/18 months time he may well be good enough to keep Eddie on his toes.
And Zack’stransfer value might have recovered from yesterday’s crash from £10m to almost zero

Wonder where the club with the best fit would be, his passing is way off that of Steffen or Eddie who are in the 90%+ pass accuracy. Not many clubs about play as much from the back down the levels.

Too much of a step up, from playing in League One and is at a club who plays different style of football, and who is still learning the game to a team challenging for trophies. More than likely we will cash in.

I wouldn't worry about his passing stats, especially when comparing him to Steffen and Eddie who have much better quality in front of him to pass to.

There's a blog here which explores his stats and has an interesting snippet on his short & medium passing stats:-

Gavin Bazunu burst onto the scene in 2018 when as a lanky 16-year-old, he saved a Kieran Sadlier penalty against Cork City. Those in attendance knew he wasn’t long for the league, indeed playing on…

Cheers for the this, the league stats i could see had him at 60% accuracy which is a major concern if we think he's in contention for backup soon.

some links to big championship clubs, Sheffield United and some others today. I do feel like we might cash in given Ederson's age.

He will not even been contention at all for backup place regardless his performance, the reason he is too young to be a backup, he will be wasted.

He will be off for another loan or the club will cashing him.

I reckon the club will look similar profile like Steffen in his age range, already well developed but only been considered as backup if they want a replacement for Steffan.

Just won both the Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season awards for Portsmouth last night.

Well done to him, some going that - onwards and upwards next season!
