Reckon he’s either already signed for someone or he’s waiting to see if we get champions league football next season. CL I reckon but im now thinking he’ll sign prior to RB and if not, definitely should we progress through to the EL final Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post East Enclosure Row N 2,908 Posted April 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2022 215 games for us in four seasons. 53 games so far this season that will go to 60 and hopefully 61. Nobody else is that consistent or injury free. He makes a couple of mistakes - everyone does, but if you play that many games, you get noticed more because you are always on the pitch and sent up for every corner in 215 games. Why do Rangers "allegedly" get so many penalties? - because we spend so much time in the opposition's penalty box. Why do Goldson errors get noticed more than others? - because he is always there and always involved. It's the same thing. I'd prefer him to get a contract agreed and stay, but if not he leaves with my very best wishes and thanks. A question for the stats guys - who was the last outfield player to manage 60 games in a season for Rangers? (I don't know the answer!)

That many games is highly unusual I would have thought, with the number of European qualifiers and getting to the latter stages as well. I think he's pretty high up in the all time European appearances for us in only 4 seasons. He even plays against the dross in the early rounds of the domestic cups.

Any signing wether bosman or purchase comes at a risk, you hope scouting negates a lot of that risk but unfortunately some players just don't come and settle, svensson for example, cardoso, alves But you have signings like "wtf are we thinking about" that absolutely nail it, clint hill for example You got to imagine we have been busy scouting players to replace goldson, so given the time spent on it, id genuinely hope we started working on deals like now, Doehki if one should be massively in talks the now 6superbarry6 and jintybear 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get Doehki and one more, sell/release the rest and promote king to 4th choice, that leaves us woefully short as souttar will be 3rd choice and not only is he really not good enough for the level we are aiming at, he's made of the same stuff ramsey is and is a good bet to be crocked a lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think Helander will be leaving .We do definitely need to find a pathway for King to get in the first team .Otherwise he will be gone before we know it and for a fraction what we got for Paterson .

Think King has a fair bit to go physically to be considered for first team, it’ll come in time I’m sure but most CHs these days are build like sheizenhouses.
