southcoastbear 1,639 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Goldson is cracking in Europe, it's just domestically he doesn't give players the respect they deserve on the park, no sure about the new lad but his stats dont look overly impressive. But then it has been said, there's lies, damn lies and then statistics so as Bears r us said , time will tell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,504 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 We were dealt a shit hand with Katic getting injured. This guy looks decent enough competition to me. Could conceivably end up 1st choice or 4th choice. Not worried about him being a failure atm though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 4 centre halves last season, one injured a lot, we rotated between 3 of them, had the best defensive record along with the tarriers This season we have 5 centre halves, 2 injured, so why not rotate between the other 3, if thos guy walks right into the team what does that say to edmunson who's spent a season working with us, learning, observing etc, whats the point in buying a young guy like him just to shaft him rotten Right, hold on a second.... You admit that last year we had 4 centre halves, 1 of which was injured, but we got by via rotating the 3 fit ones. This year, we have 5 centre halves, 2 of which are injured, leaving us with 3 fit ones, same as last year. You think it was a mistake to sign this 5th centre half. So you are actually advocating having one less fit centre half this year, and basically no cover for the position should one of them get injured or suspended. I really am struggling to see your point, and am at the point where I think you are confused and no longer understand your argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Sky reporting it's a one year deal with an option on a second, good bit of business and gives us time to sort ourselves out with Katic and Helander.

STEPPS BOY 74,032 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The folk moaning about the signing would be the very same Folk saying we should have signed a CH if we played at Aberdeen or Kilmarnock with Bassey or Mayo at the Back and lost. As soon as Katic got injured we required back-up and i’m glad it’s someone with Experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanVeenRangers 2,537 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Can we not just be happy we've signed a centre back with a decent reputation who brings experience? Our scouting network knows more than some of the posters on here. I think some of our fans would still argue if we signed Ronaldo. The same negative fans who get on our players backs after 60 seconds in a game and moan about the pies --- but keep attending and buying them every week...😴 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inexperienced and raw. Not been overly impressed tbh, unsurprising he's looked ropey considering the step up. One injury to CG or GE and we'd be in the shite. Inexperienced core of defence in a vital season. There'd be calls for Gerrard's head for doing nothing when he knew he'd 2/4 experienced CHs out. Justified criticism.

Good point, dont even need a new striker as he can play up there if needed. Seriously though, his coaches at Leicester stated he could play at the back, but would be better if part of a back 3:- “He can play centre-back, ideally in a back three. I was very sorry to see him leave and I know Rangers have a very talented player and is only going to get better." If we were to play him as part of a back 3, it would still mean that at current standings with the injuries, we would not have any cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
