NI 930 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Just now, The Dude said: Why can't we compare them? Why we can take that Goldson doesn't want to be here because he's not signed a new contract, but its not fair to say the club don't want Arfield to stay because we've not offered him a new deal despite his publicly-stated willingness? Because Goldson still have years ahead of him and Arfield/McGregor are almost in their last season I'd say, nothing more, nothing less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely another season in Arfield. Surely that means we should have already got him signed up. If we wanted him to stay, we'd have a deal on the table waiting for his signature? IF Goldson decides he wants to move on, good luck to him. He'll never replace what he had here. If he decides he wants to stay, there's an offer there waiting and both sides need to work out a deal because it's going to be fucking hard to replace him. theredhandofNewcastle, demise, Roy Hobbs and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerning Goldson, I'm not convinced he wants to leave, I didn't say he doesn't want to be here and I agree with what you said about him being hard to replace, definitely. But to me, he has more reasons to look away than Arfield and McGregor. I guess we'll know soon enough anyway. The Dude 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouse_Legend 399 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I hope he stays purely down to the fact that we will struggle to replace him if he goes. Let's face it, our recruitment of late has been pish so I would have the fear regarding who they would bring as his replacement. There's also the financial constraints of buying a centre half that will be rock solid, reliable and contribute massively towards winning titles and silverware. theredhandofNewcastle 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JCDBigBear 11,000 Posted April 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2022 Worrall was a nightmare.  I'd like to see Katic get another chance with us.  Helander needs to go as does Simpson.  Doubt Balogun will be kept on but you never know he might be given another year. King can't be a regular yet.  If Goldson goes then we clearly need even more CB cover.  We can't rely on Bassey as a CB. theredhandofNewcastle, ayrshireranger, Ivybank and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 37,703 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Worrall was pish, aside from 1 old firm game, and I don’t think Katic is good enough either. Would have either as 3rd / 4th choices CBs though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights 2,529 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Katic was in the same category as Edmundson. They’d both have games when they looked as if they should be pencilled in for the next decade and both have games when they looked as if they should be playing for St Mirren. You need that consistency at a team like ours who are expected to win every week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangersross 6,726 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Been saying for a couple of years we should sign Jamie Hamilton (from Hamilton) as a young, inexpensive CB project. Has the potential to be the best Scottish CB in a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scores a decent number with his head too. He'd probably be a few inches taller in an ideal world but I don't think it's a major concern. I'd have liked to see us sign him in the summer, and then have loaned him out to a side like Hearts or St Johnstone for a year, but his contract's up at the end of this season and there will be plenty of competition for him now. Apparently even some EPL sides. We'll probably let him go to Hibs or Aberdeen this summer then compete with the filth to pay £3M for him in a season or two. NorthernLights and Nk89 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldson signed a contract to play with us until the end of this season. So he's done what he signed on for. He's free to go and grab what will no doubt be his last big contract. So if we want him to stay, we will no doubt have to make him our top earner which he probably deserves considering how many games he plays.  I think we would also have to break our salary ceiling which I would be OK with cause like you said - replacing him is going to be some task!! magic8ball and Bad Robot 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
