Talking up an asset.
I think this shows the hold that two have in our team. Both him and Tav have got themselves into a position where managers are afraid to drop them so much so that he has to make public statements.
The quicker that two are out of our team the better, they have far too much of a stranglehold.
6 or 7 out of contract for starters.People are in for a shock...we have to realise we need to wheel and deal and there are only so many players you will be able to move on in the summer....people are unlikely to move for less money etc.
Sorting this out is a 3-4 transfer window project
I’d say more the manager playing the party line to keep him interested for a month.Absolute hyperbole pish
It doesn't really. He's just highpy unlikely to announce he's going to be surplus to requirements in the summer at this stage of the season. When he was asked through the week about the Goldsen / Balogun situation, he said it was the benefit of having '4 top centre halfs'. I think the reality is he knows he doesn't really have any 'top' centre halfs. Wouldn't be surprised to see Goldson, Balogun and Davies all moved on if we can.
I'd rather he played today tbh
They have far too much of a stranglehold over our team and the quicker that’s resolved the better.What a load of made up nonsense.
1) It's nothing to do with Tav. They aren't joined at the hip.
2) Tav doesn't get dropped because, despite slowing down lately, he's still, by an absolute mile, the best full back we have.
3) All the manager is doing is answering a question about a player not being selected which they all have to do the world over ever week.
4) Clement clearly isn't scared to drop Goldson because, erm, he has.
Some people really just make stuff up. Mental.
Is Goldson not signed until 2026If that's how Clemment really feels and thinks, then I give him to Christmas next season then he'll be joining Beale, Gio, Pedro and Warburton right out the door.
He would have been eased off the ball like Balogun at times but wouldn’t have had the recovery pace to put in three crucial challenges.
The sooner this back line is broken up, the better. It’s shit. We saw that again today.
Goldson being here next season was asked at the presser 48 hours before, after Gerrard was linked with him. He probably just thought he better throw that line in today, before the media jumped on him only mentioning this season. It was a throwaway comment. Really don't understand people hanging on every word the manager, any manager, says to the media and taking it as absolute gospel.He volunteered the info re next season. If he wanted him gone he doesn’t mention next season.
Not when he is one of the highest earners at the Club financially it's not worth it either.People need to remember that Goldson being here next season doesn't mean he is 1st choice. He could be 4th and he'd be a great 4th choice option.
It should be Balogun & Goldson. Our best 2cbs.Tricky selections coming up.
Does he bring him back in for Kilmarnock and protect Balogun for Celtic?
They have far too much of a stranglehold over our team and the quicker that’s resolved the better.
And maybe the other 3 combined are on less than the current other 3 so it balances out a bit. Would absolutely want rid of Davies (and his wages) before Goldson and his.Not when he is one of the highest earners at the Club financially it's not worth it either.
Absolutely.He would have been eased off the ball like Balogun at times but wouldn’t have had the recovery pace to put in three crucial challenges.
The sooner this back line is broken up, the better. It’s shit. We saw that again today.
Come on. He’s got to make him feel part of the squad. What if one of our CHs get injured next week? We bring the guy on who the gaffer has publicly said has no future? Clement knows he’s not good enough. He’s the first manager to drop him in 6 years. You don’t just drop senior players to ‘rest’ them in the closest run for over decade. Goldson will be gone or a bit part player next year.He volunteered the info re next season. If he wanted him gone he doesn’t mention next season.
Don't agree with any of your tav/goldson posts over the last couple of weeks but fair play for standing your ground.Do they?
I think the whole Tavernier/Goldson thing is getting a bit wildly out of control personally.
They are just footballers who no one has ever said a bad word about in terms of their influence.
It's hardly Vinnie Jones and John Fashanu bullying their team mates.
They play all the time because they've always been the best options for their position until now when there's a real question mark over Goldsons form.
Whether you think their time has cone and gone is one thing. I could well find myself agreeing with you. But stranglehold and the like? Silly talk based on nothing.
He didn't have to say anything about Goldson next season.Some folk are totally clueless mate.
Manager has literally just said he’ll be here next season
Loads of folk in the thread get it, get football. You, unfortunately fall in to the clueless category.He didn't have to say anything about Goldson next season.
So no, not clueless
Its always a massive summer with us, trying to get rid of the dross the previous managers have bought.6 or 7 out of contract for starters.
Then the guys who will want to move on
Then the kids who want game time so want a move
It's going to be a massive summer
So you have no answer to the point put to you.Loads of folk in the thread get it, get football. You, unfortunately fall in to the clueless category.
You've not read the thread.So you have no answer to the point put to you.
That my friend is what is classed as 'clueless'.
Don't agree with any of your tav/goldson posts over the last couple of weeks but fair play for standing your ground.
Not at all. I gave you the scenario.and you has no comeback apart from abuse.You've not read the thread.
I've already given the reason as have others.
Clueless and embarrassing yourself.
He's trying to get the best price for Goldson, that's why he mentioned next season.Not at all. I gave you the scenario.and you has no comeback apart from abuse.
The very derinition of clueless.
Who?We don't know Jack shit about our plans for next season.
The man is decent back up.
He's got 20 goals ffs.
He's decent as a squad player at least.
Is he aye?He's trying to get the best price for Goldson, that's why he mentioned next season.
Read the thread.
Abuse, lol.
Sorry sweetheart.
There's the confirmation.Is he aye?
What a load of pish lol
With or without the lol.There's the confirmation.
Lol.
£37k per week for a fourth choice centre half?People need to remember that Goldson being here next season doesn't mean he is 1st choice. He could be 4th and he'd be a great 4th choice option.
A good few of us then.With or without the lol.
You are talking pish.
Sure. If we want strength and depth, we may just need to accept that from a couple of players and replace them over the longer term.£37k per week for a fourth choice centre half?
