It is very interesting though how quickly your star can wane once you're out of sight and out of mind. I think you can probably count on one hand the amount of times Katic has let us down, add that to the context that prior to this season it's not like our centre backs were flawless, far from it. People have short memories, regardless of how good they've been this season (and they have been mustard by the way) they've been hammered on this forum and quite rightly at times (not Balogun). He’s not very good. I said before this season and I’ll say it again. Sell him when we can. STEPPS BOY 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve done my ACL twice (2nd time just last January) and despite doing as much rehab and running as I can, I’m miles away from playing football. He did his 6 months ago. Incredible.

Goldsom became responsible for his own mistakes and for Katic's. People would also sometimes miraculously miss his mistakes, but be all over Goldson's Katic's not at the standard we are now. Might improve. Hope he does, cause he's a good lad, but you can't let that blind you to his actual performances.

Katic got all that same hype that was around Goian when he first joined - Goina facts, mind that.. they are both big huge hard looking bastards so people overhype their ability without seeing the donkey work, the other, and better CB in both cases (Bocanega and Goldson) were actually ding to carry them. It isn't a huge shock Goldson has looked more at ease next to Helander and Balogun. Inigo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Katic is a good defender but he defends too much. He’s too keen to engage in tackles or jumping for headers where a better defender wouldn’t engage and wait for a better opportunity. plymouthranger, STEPPS BOY and CR3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,241 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 He has more than enough time to improve, at times when he was playing he was the standout centre half in the team. Remember at the same time many were slating Goldson! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 14,105 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Katic is a good defender, with the potential to be better than our other defenders. However, if the other three remain he’ll need to go out on loan to get enough game time to improve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights 2,526 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Katic has a handful of games a season where he looks as if he could be a star and then another handful where he’s an absolute bomb scare. We’ve seen the same with Edmundson. With Goldson, Helander and Balogun you know roughly what you’re going to get each week and that’s important for a team like us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have a problem with him being our 4th choice CB, but, a loan deal with regular football would be beneficial for him and us.

bluenoz 30,679 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Katic wins the popularity vote all day long because he is committed to the club and his dedication to the game is outstanding, But I would even argue that Edmundson has better potential. Obviously not a popular suggestion given what has happened. I remember Kyle Bartley took a fair share of abuse at times and he has quietly carved out a solid career. Center half take time to develop so Katic still might turn out to be really good but so far is Rangers career has been average. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,711 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 He’s got great potential, bulked up a lot pre season so will better with physical strikers. My biggest criticism of him will always be his positioning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll always be 4th choice whilst Goldson, Balogun and Helander at club. He’s absolutely fine as a 3rd choice. Remember Balogun only has 6 (or 18 months if we extend his deal) left on his term, Goldsons got 18. Keep Katic and get him learning, we’ve got a ready made replacement who’s already shown he can do it in Europe etc. The boys only recently 24 FFS, he’s so young for a CB and already got almost 150 odd top flight games in him despite an ACL injury Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the big man but is nowhere near our best CB, potentially or otherwise! He often gets caught out positionally and for someone so good in the air attacking set pieces, seems to get caught under the ball a lot in open play, its something thats always concerned me about him. He is still 24 and has a lot of time to improve but if we lose Balgoun, Helander or god forbid Goldson, we would really need to look at bringing someone in to replace them.

simplythebestest 2,145 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Some think he's bad, some think he's good. But thankfully only Gerrard's opinion matters. I think he's good btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
