An injury to goldson away from a disaster
Get Katic back if we can, have to.
Yep, we need a short term coverI’d imagine they’ll be looking for cover in that case then.
What if Goldson is out - we have Balogun and Simpson to go with.
Plenty of experience by the looks of it, 18m value at one point not to long ago!Depending how long he's out for, Katic will likely get recalled in January.
Nicolas N'Koulou is currently a free agent after being released by Torino. If it's long term, it might be worth looking at free agents.
Can’t call him back until JanuaryKatic getting a recall, or moving Helander out of the Euro squad and Simpson in
You thought he looked irreplaceable being turned inside out by O’Halloran and the boy who turned him inside out to the point of cork screwing him into the turf when he injured himself?That’s an absolute gutter. Just as he was looking absolutely irreplaceable.

He was very poor on Sunday as he has been in the past when turned, I’m kind of glad he’s not playing against Lyon as it is a big step up from St Johnstone both in terms of quality and pace.
Just like Celtic, Feyenoord and Porto are.You thought he looked irreplaceable being turned inside out by O’Halloran and the boy who turned him inside out to the point of cork screwing him into the turf when he injured himself?

We still have 3 fit centre backs and Bassey who can play there.I wonder if we’ll look at any free agents at cover. Are there any?!
Simpson did not look poor in the time he was on in the last game.Not good news at all .
Simpson has looked poor so far albeit he's not played much . This will be a massive chance for him .
Any youths able to step up?
Or are they all tied into the B team?
That poster doesn't have a clue.Just like Celtic, Feyenoord and Porto are.
He had a poor game, so does every player - he’s still our best defender and should be playing every game when he is fit.
Saying your kind of glad he isn’t playing, is genuinely bonkers.
Bull.You thought he looked irreplaceable being turned inside out by O’Halloran and the boy who turned him inside out to the point of cork screwing him into the turf when he injured himself?
He was very poor on Saturday as he has been in the past when turned, I’m kind of glad he’s not playing against Lyon as it is a big step up from St Johnstone both in terms of quality and pace.
Yup, these guys - the experienced ones at least - are either not seen as good enough or their demands to sign-up are deemed extortionate. Otherwise they'd have clubs. Given our situation now, were we to approach one of them then their demands would likely escalate, given the position we are in.Free agent players 9-10 times are that way for a reason
there’s very few that would be worth it
Can always rely on FF for a bit of catastrophisingAn injury to goldson away from a disaster
Goldson is much more consistent and less likely to lose a foot race. Fil is not a Central defender you want to play in a high line, I think his strength is back to his own goal defending deep as he is positionally sound a good reader of the game.Just like Celtic, Feyenoord and Porto are.

It's amazing how few people understand the concept of "Nikola Katic is registered at Hajduk Split until the January Transfer Window"
I feel sick knowing Jack Simpson will now be used more often
Goldson is our best and most consistent central defender, which is reflected in our managers utilisation of and trust in him.Bull.
He is our best defender and has in the main been outstanding since he arrived.
Had he played against Malmo we may well have been playing last night instead of tomorrow night.
It is a big blow.
Are you saying it wouldn’t be?Can always rely on FF for a bit of catastrophising
The pace thing isn’t as much of an issue as people think, his reading of the game and positional sense cover this alleged deficiency.Goldson is much more consistent and less likely to lose a foot race.

His weaknesses have been ruthlessly exposed in the past, Benfica being the most damming example.
We can’t swap him out.Gutted for Helander and for the team. It's all very well saying that we can rely on Balogun but he has barely played a 30-game season in his career and will likely require regular rotation. What's the rules on making changes to the Europa squad?
