It's the leadership you'll miss most.

Even at full time today, it was him you could see and hear geeing up the team when they were gathered together  before ET.

Is this the same leadership that was evident in the Leauge Cup Semi.

That was totally misrepresented, basically by folk that didn't like him at the time.

Same leadership you can hear every game if you go (only one you insessantly hear barking instructions and encouragement in the back line), or saw in the tunnel v Leipzig.

Great servant to the club but all things must come to an end someday. If he leaves, as is looking likely, then he leaves with my thanks and best wishes. We move on.

[BlueSuedeSambas 54,867]

Been a great servant to the club over the years. Played almost every game for four years straight. Not without his lapses and faults but it’s going to be a big task to replace him. 

[KeyserSoze 14,778]

He’s been a fantastic servant to our club. If he leaves he should go with our utmost best wishes 

[Essandoh 21,441]

History will be kind to him and to be honest he deserves it.

He was Gerrard’s first signing and for any of his faults his strengths make him one of our most important players in a long time.

I wish all the best to him. It’s been spoken for a while that his family hasn’t settled and nobody can hold that against him.

Always welcome back to Ibrox amongst the fans.

[SkylineBlue 24,702]

I'm really disappointed to see him go; I'd have loved for him to stay, but he'll go with my best wishes.

[ShaneRalfRoss 317]

He should been sold last summer,he had no intention signing a new contract .At least last summer we could got fee for him but now he walking away for  free . Poor management on the clubs part .

Leadership yes. Also his athleticism and his ability to play twice a week for 60 odd games a season.

I think though we've seen flashes of his influence on Bassey in terms of leading the back line. As well as his performances growing week on week he's now shouting and pointing and bullying his teammates (in a good way). If Bassey goes on to be a top player and captain either with us or elsewhere,  I think he will owe a lot of that to learning from Connor Goldson.

 

[STRUTH82 820]

Unfortunately I think him staying hinged on Automatic qualification for the CL.....but there is still a chance, I'd love him to stay.

Sit down you ffs. 

[Willis 20,919]

I'm not that bothered to see him go tbh. Tho I wish him the best ill also kinda be glad to see the back of him.

[sausagetrunks 6,102]

it was 3.5 million well spent.  Europa lg final, lg winner medal and Scots cup. 

[The Beast 9,371]

If we keep Bassey and have him, Souttar, Helander (if kept), Balogun and King next season as the CB's I'd say that was decent. I'd still be tempted to being in one other potential first pick CB though especially given Souttar and Helander's injury records.

[NorthernLights 2,527]

Disappointed that he’ll leave for nothing but sounds as if he’s been pretty transparent about it and the team just decided he was worth more as part of the team. 

[Bears r us 31,042]

Certainly wish him well, his ability to play without being injured has been very good, finding someone with that ability alone will be difficult. 

[VanVeenRangers 2,580]

He must be bored after 4 years playing the same spl shite 6 times a season including cups and the refs. We must have played Aberdeen and Motherwell about 18-20 times in Goldsons time here.

No doubt he loves us and would stay if we were in the EPL for example but sometimes you just need a new challenge especially if someone will pay double or more your wages.

[hawkfalcons 2,322]

A fantastic player who if he leaves goes with my best wishes, a great player who played for the jersey

Katic as well potentially.

That's down to our genius DoF who claims to operate a player trading model but doesn't sell players - at least not when they are at the top of their value. Instead we have Goldson out of contract this summer and three or four other first team players including Morelos and Kamara out of contract in a years time. 

We should have cashed in on at least two of the big names after 55 and had money from that to strengthen the squad.

Surely Balogun is going 

[Monkey Butler 23,097]

Laudrup did the same and left with our best wishes. Obviously not comparing Laudrup with Goldson. Laudrup was shite at defending. 

[Worlds_Most_Successful_Team 70]

It's been clear for a while he's on his way out. Was disappointed we didn't punt him last summer for a fee. Saying that, realistically we wouldn't have signed a player last summer of the same level. Played an instrumental part in our journey to the Europa final, which outstrips by far what we would of got from him, and we all got to experience the journey. If he leaves this summer, all the best to him. 

 

As a club, we move on.
