I fear we’re going to watch as Goldson becomes world class and moves on to a top European club despite everyone saying “It’s only the two-bit Scottish League”

Big mistake letting go , espically the way Duffy is playing , actually we gave him away

Would you be saying the same if he was doing this against L1 opposition today...?

A great honour.
Following in the footsteps of legends John Grieg, Terry Butcher and Richard Gough.
After Goldson’s heart scare, no one would shirley begrudge Goldson all the career positives that come his way.

He's very good at this level - SPL or Championship - but I trust Chris Hughton's judgement of a defender in never having picked him in preference over Dunk or Duffy in 2 seasons of working with him 6 days a week. If he was ever going to develop into a world class player, he'd already be first choice at a PL club with MOTD and 5 Live pundits waxing lyrical about him every week.

Oh come on. Goldson couldn’t get a look in over the last two seasons because Dunk and Duffy have been immense. So now you’re saying, with such incredible hindsight because Duffy has not been at his best, that we should have kept him? I seem to remember the same situation with Steve Cook when he went to Bournemouth. It happens, when you’ve got a surplus of good players vying for the same position that the unlucky ones will move on.

Never about Chris's judgement really. CG's situation was pretty unique. Major heart surgery, recovery and then a desperate desire to play - which the Albion could not give him. Also happened to be wanted by one of the biggest clubs in Britain (irrespective of the League) and managed by, and wanted by, a bona-fide playing legend. I know there's no room for sentiment in the football business but in this case a bit of it snuck in. Sure the club will have optioned a buy-back too.

Connor needed to move to get a game. There is no way, on last seasons form, he was getting in before Dunk and Duffy and he knew that. At his age he needed game time not sitting on the bench hoping for loss of form or an injury. He wanted to go because he knew he wouldn’t get in here. He is currently doing very well in a substandard league. He is a very good player but time will tell if he is a great player. Had Rangers not of come in for him he would have ended up somewhere like Ipswich or QPR in the championship and we would have got no more money than we did.

It was CH's judgement to bring Duffy in as our most expensive signing (at the time) in the August '16 window to replace Goldson. Even before the heart surgery, once Duffy signed he was 3rd choice and only played 2 league games when Dunk was suspended for yellow card accumulation.

Personally I remain unconvinced Connor would have been a world beater at this level, but better than Duffy?!? there's the rub! I would have loaned him to Rangers, as he clearly wanted to play for his hero Stevie G, and see how he got on... on current performances we may have recalled (if an option) or welcomed him back with open arms for our opener in the championship...
Only joking re the last point (#wankerbantz), but I failed to see the tangible benefit to us from this deal... a buy back is a possibility I suppose, but a loan secures our asset... strange decision to cut ties entirely.

Going forward for corners is the only part of his play ahead of Duffy

The SPL is rubbish, because we lost yesterday and Rangers won and Goldson scored the SPL is now great?

No.
Just glad for an Albion favourite CG, that he scored as captain, playing in front of 52,000.
A happy story.

Listen to me!!!
The SPL is shit and always will be. League 1 at best apart from top couple of teams

Yeah, its not great..... but our transfer business revolves around buying standout players from lesser leagues or lesser teams in the bigger leagues.... someone like Goldson, had he not been ours, would have certainly been on the radar of our recruitment team right now. We have spent all summer pursuing defenders from the championship after all.
None of which of course changes the fact that he would be third choice for us, and wants to play... I still think that, while Duffy was probably a better option in the championship, Goldson would do better in the prem

Goldson has bags of potential and will go onto great things eventually.The problem here Is hooten doesn't rotate the squad enough and it's very frustrating for players stuck on the bench for 80 mins at least or barely getting a look in at all.
Good luck to the lad
