He’s hoping the right offer will. One along before the window shuts IMO.
That's my take on it. He's waiting to see if he's playing CL football or not
I would like to believe this is the case too.
Haven’t thought of it that way before mate. I always thought as soon as Gerrard left Villa would come in for him and he’d jump at the chance to play in the Prem.
Villa have mega money.
I might just be that no one wants him
So despite the fact he was instrumental in achieving 55 you decided after Hibs game he should be punted. I'm more concerned about your view than any performance Goldson has put in. I watch central defenders worth 50 million that put in worse performances that Connor ever has, Get a grip
Have we offered him a new contract?
It’s possible no-one has had talks, in the meantime I think he’s keeping his options open for potentially a bigger offer or hedging his bets. Watching some of the EPL games this past week he wouldn’t look out of place in the bottom half the league.
Id tell him to politely feck off then. We need better than all of our current CB's for the CL.
We’ll struggle to get better than Goldson.
Its all made in China anyway. Goldson is easily at villa level player.
It wasn’t necessarily his performance but his attitude after the match. Get a grip? That was unacceptable and you’re kidding yourself on if you think his comments don’t deserve to be questioned.
Wait til the summer and see who Villa are targeting.
Another thing that goes un-noticed, Gerrard had a real decision to make when he came in. Retain Tav as captain or rock the boat.
Seemed like he downed tools before Gio came in. Although the recent upturn in form has almost seen that swept under the carpet now tbh
You’re correct Not at all undermines his value and I think what I said about him talking with Lowry after the goal validates your point
Or nobody has offered him a contract elsewhere. He’s running a big risk hoping for a bigger contract waiting on CL football when it’s not guaranteed yet
Yes he can mate.
There’s every chance, when you hear Defoe on radio getting teared up about the group of players at Rangers it shows you the togetherness and the sacrifices they have made. This journey isn’t over with this group not by a long shot, despite bams wanting the first team ripped up, reinvest and start again. As you say 56, CL football with a group of players he’s been a huge part in driving them to be better. We might just be the best package out there come the summer.
I don't think you can force anyone to sign an extra year
From memory it was the same with Ryan Jack, he signed for us but knew the backlash and both parties kept it quiet.
Yeah I agree, Goldson is definitely a Captain and leader for us on the park. We’ve several Captains throughout our team when it comes to the dressing room and leading by example. Davis, Arfied and Jack to name a few. Could probably put Balogun down as well reading how he’s the guy that’s been representing the Nigerian players regarding their fight for their monies due etc.
He’ll definitely be missed if he chooses to leave. An old firm win, winning the league and a shot at the champions league gives us and outside chance to tempt him to extend.
Agreed and hopefully he’s waiting to see if we win the league and so he can compare our offer of champions league football against whatever other options come his way. As a free, his agent must already have interest from the premiership.
