[Albion] Goldson - Rangers [CONFIRMED]

[Triggaaar]

Selling Goldson seems to indicate to me that we are keeping Dunk.

I'd expect us to keep Dunk for another year, but if he does well he could attract interest from the big clubs the following summer which would be tempting for him. If that happens, it would be good if Goldson has been on loan for a year, as he can then come back.

has probably exceeded his true quality in all honesty.

I don't think so.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I don't think so.

If Solly March had spent the entire season on the bench we'd be treating him the exact same if another club came calling. Goldson is very good, but is he good enough? If he was I doubt CH would countenance his sale

Maybe, but I think the step up is harder for a winger.

Goldson is very good, but is he good enough?

Not sure, but then we turned down £5m for Dunk when we still weren't sure he was good enough.

 

[Husty]

Whichever way you look at it, £3m is a piss take.

About what we paid for Duffy isn't it? Who was a lot more proven, seems like good value for us.

 

[Weststander]

Because when I've seen him play I thought he was good. Most of us (not all) thought the same about Dunk, even though he wasn't proven at Championship level (mistakes like getting sent off away to Palace). And when Dunk still wasn't doing that great at Championship level, we turned down £5m for him. Dunk has proved to be an excellent centre back, so Goldson couldn't get his place, and Duffy is a different style of centre back and Hughton decided he complimented Lewis better. I think Goldson is good enough for the PL. I'd prefer he went on loan to the Championship for 1 season.

This.

Some thought Dunk a liability as a Championship player, holding the team back.

Really need to keep him.

 

[Napper]

I like the fact we haven't heard from Goldson. When he goes he deserves good wishes for that alone.

Surprised a few more clubs haven't joined the race to put up the bids.

End of the day , he has only played 32 times for us and only 8 times in 2 seasons. Based on that then 250k to 3million is great business.

Whack a big sell on , wish him well and hope he helps Rangers get back on top.

Is what it is

He will never ever be as good as Lewis Dunk.

If he is good enough for the PL don’t you think we’d get offers from a PL club?

Personally I’d like him to stay but I’m not sure he’ll get much game time, as we have better players and may just have signed another one who CH will prefer to him.

 

[dangull]

Rangers financial problems have been well documented, so wouldn't a loan deal be in everyone's interest?
He does well, Rangers have an option to buy, or other clubs will be interested after seeing him as 1st choice for a season.
Or he returns because we are playing championship football and will be 1st choice in our team

Not that many, he has always looked a class player, he just had a moment EVERY game where he gave the opposition a goal scoring opportunity with the occasional red mist resulting in a red card.

He was young, Goldson isn’t

Agreed......will be sad to see him go (if he does) but he's had precious little game time and for his own sake probably wants to be playing. He's also probably 4th choice CB at the moment after D&D and Balogun (who is already a full international), and if we sign Moore as well he's potentially even further away from the first team.

He doesn't have to be.

When Fulham bid £5m for Dunk, don't you think we'd have got offers from a PL club if he was good enough?

'we' being the fans, not the club. The club knew Dunk was good enough, it feels this time that CH is happier to let Goldson go. Plus Dunk of course was first choice then, Goldson isn't and won't be. Shame for Connor we couldn't loan him out last year, then he wouldn't have missed out on a season of development. Careers curve in different ways and Goldson hasn't had the breaks, not surprised he wants to move on.

He wasn’t at the time, he has only proved himself good enough this season. Goldson has not played enough since his heart problem to be be considered “Premier League” standard...imo. If he was considered good enough at least one team would take a punt wouldn’t they?

Maybe you know better than CH though, who doesn’t seem to rate him that highly at this level.

We didn’t want to sell Dunk as he was a first team regular, Goldson isn’t and we seem ready to sell him, again imo.

Rangers KO their European campaign circa 12 July 2018.

Opposition at this stage was too difficult for them last season.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Rangers have the purchasing power of a Leeds or a Forest, and we're talking about our third best centre-back of 2017/18, a players almost everyone would be comfortable with deputising for Duffy or Dunk.

£1.2 mill?! It's like me offering Beyonce £100 for a blowjob.
