Possibly zero truth in this one because it came from an SPL club staff member outwith our own but apparently scouts representing Everton, Sunderland and Crystal Palace at a recent away match were there solely to watch Pandur in action and in the case of Palace at least it wasn't the first time.
22 Oct 2026 16:28:53
Gazza, I believe it was to watch manny mate.
22 Oct 2026 16:54:58
Stevie G got to agree there, been widely reported on fan and MSM interest from these clubs in Manny.
22 Oct 2026 16:58:20
Pandur is young he's got 3 years roughly at us before he moves on to too 5 league.
22 Oct 2026 18:36:43
He's not better than Henderson, Pickford or roeffs so would be going to be back up. Can't see him wanting to do that. I agree with Stevie hope we have Pandur for a few year don't want to have to sell every single player need to build a settled spine.
22 Oct 2026 18:38:00
Imo. Manny will seriously have to up his game & decision making, before anyone takes a chance on him.
But you never know!!
22 Oct 2026 18:43:02
Get as much as possible , this boy lacks the minerals to really reach the top, we need a solid defender to win the league, not a stargazer
Can look quality at times but nowhere near what some think, imho of course, I'm a bit fed up watching the schoolboy errors.
22 Oct 2026 19:29:13
TT11, if you don't mind me asking pal what's your opinion on makhanya compared to Fernandez mate? 🤔🇬🇧.
22 Oct 2026 22:54:29
Really hope the Manny rumours are true though hope they don't watch him too closely. He's still just about young enough for teams to believe they can improve him so we might still get half decent money for him. Won't hold my breath tho, doubt we'll even get what we paid for him.
22 Oct 2026 23:02:31
Lot of talent coops, and could easily be the real deal, in fact I would be happy with him being the main man in the defence, but I'm fed up with Fernandez being awol and not concentrating in games, he can look good in some games but awful in others, I might be wrong and he might well improve enough to bring big offers but I'm not sure whether clubs see what I see and walk away, or I'm totally wrong and they are chasing him, sometimes they will pay a good fee and take the chance on him , but he's played for Peterborough and in Scotland, he hasn't played well in Europe so it's a bit of a gamble for anyone to pay big bucks for him, Makanya I would love to have for at least another season,
23 Oct 2026 01:22:16
Tom I absolutely agree and I'll tell u . I've not had the bottle to post this for fear of the pile on.
Pandur is nowhere near the keeper he's made out it be.
He's not in too 5 since 2000
Kilos
Watteau's
Shagger
Charboneir
Niemi is even better
Pandur is 50/50 imo I'm not convinced btw and Tom I'm glad u said it I've been thinking it.
23 Oct 2026 06:49:17
Let's hope they were impressed if watching Manny & they put in bid, lets take it quick before they change there mind, he was playing lower level England for a reason, that being he is not good enough, if he gets move to top 5 league will get found out big time.
23 Oct 2026 07:04:09
StevieG, Tom never said anything about Pandur, he's talking about Manny. Pandur might not be in those top 5 but they were top class. He's still a huge upgrade on Butland and has brought a calmness to my nerves.
23 Oct 2026 08:24:18
Think you picked up Tom wrong Stevie, its Manny he was rightly talking about. I like Pandur and he looks assured in most games.
23 Oct 2026 12:27:25
Im not totally sold on Pandur tbh
His passing is much better than Butland however Pandur still let's in goals around his feet (Dundee second goal)
At least Butland had a worldie save in him.
23 Oct 2026 12:48:08
Same as myself Kasier, certainly don't panic like i used to do if Butland had the ball near his feet, been very impressed with Pandur.
23 Oct 2026 13:32:22
Ally, pandur has already had a few outstanding saves and he's so quick and agile for me 👌I really rate/like him 👍🇬🇧.
23 Oct 2026 13:53:08
Don't think Pandur has let in a goal that should of been saved or a mistake. comes for crosses , let's the defence play ten yards further up park as can get to balls in behind and most of all has lowered my stress levels big time at games.
23 Oct 2026 13:55:56
I was talking about Fernandez, Stevie, pandur i'm very happy with.
The guys you speak about where of the highest standards, and we had even better before them , but Klos and Greegs were the best in that list, I think Pandur will be more comfortable with that steady solid and consistent central defender in front of him, he must be spending time waiting for the big slips from Fernandez or him drifting completely out of position, he's done a great job imo,
I just feel Fernandez has been awful in many games and he has very little experience in top class football, he hasn't shown anything like a 25 m player imo, not even close, but he has a chance definitely, Makanya has a better chance imo.
23 Oct 2026 16:01:31
Stevie G - the fear should be from looking silly, give the boy a chance - there is no one putting him in category of the keepers you have mentioned, but he's been here less than 3 months.
Hes hardly put a foot wrong and who knows the levels he can reach in fullness of time. Sometimes I just can't work out if any player will ever win the Hearts and minds of our support.
For me I'm as happy as I've been for many a season with the squad we have and hope a few go on to reach their full potential.
Let's back them to get there.
23 Oct 2026 17:41:08
Big manny has attributes but i'm not convinced he's 100% locked on at times.
Godfrey i feel got injured at wrong time or manny would have found himself out the side.
Manny would still demand a top fee as there is more potential there just needs to develop in terms of focus and decision making at times and right environment to keep him fully focused for 90 minutes.
A top defensive coach could improve him to become a very good CB.
23 Oct 2026 18:28:58
Bearsbear, feeling the same as myself, strongest squad for some time, I'm very happy having Pandur in our goals as well.
23 Oct 2026 19:01:47
If there are teams watching fernandes then makanya is away, he's head and shoulders better than fernandes, he's too slow and ball watches far to much, a coach should not need to tell a good centre half to cover the centre forward for a big punt up the park but he's caught out time and again.
23 Oct 2026 19:08:26
Manny must have been on the radar of clubs down south when he played at Peterborough no one went in for him. He would get horribly exposed if we were in Europe. I don't know if it's an attitude thing, i. e he thinks he's better than SPL standard or if he has concentration issues? I'm surprised he hasn't been out the team for Godfrey.
Pandur has the attributes to be a very good goalkeeper.
23 Oct 2026 19:16:25
I agree Bear, I think Derek is building something special myself and we were very unfortunate not to win last week, I like the way it's building but I want a new strong central defender and a poacher but we are going well just now, we must win almost every game now, and I think we will if we concentrate.
23 Oct 2026 19:13:39
Agreed with just about everything you said bro , he would be brutalised against a top level team, and too be honest about it I'm not sure Celtic can be that bad again either and worry about their forward line v Fernandez but he might just concentrate on the game now after last week and we will see what we thought he could be, I hope so.
24 Oct 2026 07:46:23
We had been watching Pandur for almost 3 years before we signed him as he had a reputation as a goalkeeper with plenty of potential.
I would expect he's on a lot of clubs radars and will be watched a lot over the course of the season.
