Best centre half since 'the journey' began

[KopGer]

Inspired by my own opinion on Goldson, who I believe is the best CB we've had since that fateful day at Peterhead when we battled to a creditable (in the then manager's eyes) draw with Peterheid, state your case for your choice.

I think Goldson's been huge value for what we paid, and he'll be sold for significant profit.

This is not about future potential, it's about what has been achieved up to this point in royal blue.

He's the marshal of a defence that has contributed immensely to some huge nights for us. He talks the others through a game, and is, for me, the glue that binds the back 5 together.

Until such time as we can afford an upgrade (pacier, nastier) - he's my pick.

 

[GallowgateBlue]

CG for me. I think he has been a great piece of business for us.

 

[thevietnambear]

Katic for me, if he had a Davie Weir beside him he would be even better

 

[RabWATP]

1000000% Goldson

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Was between Goldson, Helander and Bocanegra.

Went for Goldson, just.

 

[KopGer]

Admin would do well to identify the poet that voted Senderos.

 

[SuperGers07]

Katic.
Helander could be if he gets fit.
Overall we’ve been really poor in this position since Weir and Bougherra left the club.

It was traditionally the mark of a real Rangers side in the past as well with good commanding cbs.

 

[AllyRFC]

The Senderos vote is a joke, right?

Goldson for me. Im a big fan of Katic but i think Goldson is the better all round defender.

 

[BlueNoseBlueblood]

1st post on the money

 

[Forth Bear]

I don't think you can include the likes of Bocanegra when he only played 6/7 games in the Third Division.

The best has been Goldson. If Helander had played more games last season, it might have been him.

 

[oranje-viola]

No Ross Perry?!

I think it will be Helander in time, just now either Hill or Katic

 

[Chris-to-pher]

Goldson is probably the answer here, however I voted katic. I know he’s still raw but he’s such a threat in the opponents box.

Hopefully the rumours of a move to Dijon aren’t true. I’d expect he’d move to a better club than that if he were to move and for “very decent money” if it was the case.

 

[I believe in Eli]

Goldson by a distance.

I know it's counter productive adding him and Goian in, but they both played on the day that journey began so felt they had to go in. It's for voters to decide where they measure up since Peterhead.

 

[KopGer]

You’ve missed probably the best we have ever had ..... big Rob Kieran !

Didn't miss him. He and Perry fall into the any other carthorse.

 

[Camby loyalist]

I honestly think Goldson is overrated, lost count the amount of times he brings the ball forward and passes to the wrong player and puts us in trouble. The game against Hamilton last season he was awful.

 

[Dalmuirbear]

It’s Goldson without a shadow of doubt.

 

[dh1963]

You can't really include Bocanegra and Goian. But you could have mentioned Chris Hegarty, Ross Perry and Marius Zaliukas!

Up to this point, I think the answer is Goldson.

Fat fingers, cunny funt or the unimaginable aversion to soap and water?

I've kind of cleared that up subsequently. I was starting to feel suicidal as I read through the Kiernans, Zaliukas's and more so lumped them together as A N Other.

 

[Main Stand]

Goldson, comfortably . Helander may reach his levels when full fitness. Both to reach peak also. Katic could reach both if he learns to stop going for every ball and being caught out of position, he’s got plenty of time. Also to play in this rangers team he needs to get much better on the ball as strikers are now sitting on Goldson and letting Katic have it because they know it’s a weakness.

 

[AstralFlame72]

Voted based on his mastery of the English language:

 

[Nopapacnoparty]

Goldson.
Also, it was a shame his partnership with Helander did not get the chance to continue and develop after his injury.

 

[Main Stand]

Goldson.

I honestly can’t even remember what he done, I was at the game but was closer to Greenland than the pitch. Just remember he done something to his foot.

 

[55timesthechampions]

Goldson for me.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

Was the better of the 2 alongside Danny Wilson, although I know that doesn't say much.

At least he looked like he cared.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

I liked Clint Hill, if he was a little bit younger he would have been a great addition.
But currently I'd say Helander.

 

[RenfrewBear72]

It's still Bocanegra to this day.

 

[TheBlueBlazerV3]

I actually quite liked Darren McGregor - thought Warburton made a big mistake letting him go for zero.
Voted Jig though - put his head in where it hurt, strong, good passer - arguably not a CB but was him or Goldson.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

I wouldn't mind sitting next to the posters who voted for Senderos or McGregor for a game, just to get an alternative view on Association Football.

 

[Disraeli]

Bocanegra.

A leader and communicator - something we badly need now.

I think both Goldson and Katic would be far better players with someone like Weir or Boca next to them

 

[RabSpackman]

Goldson without a doubt.... and recognizing that he is a blooper waiting to happen at times.

It’s all about partnerships in that area of the pitch though. When your centre halves and goalkeeper complement & trust each other then you are in a great place.
I like the look of Goldson & Edmundson together, it needs a bit of time to let them get into a proper partnership though.

I’m relieved that Mohsni hasn’t picked up any votes yet - he seems to get a bit of favour from people and I can not understand why.

 

[JW1988]

Clearly Goldson. Honourable mention for Darren McGregor though, we were shite, but he won POTY for a reason.

 

[Amatosarrow]

Carlos for me. Class on and off the pitch. His now wife added a lot to the players' lounge.

 

[Graemeh89]

At his Peak Alves , but he was finished by the time Pedro signed him. Also liked big bocanegra. But had to vote for CG.

 

[BattleFeverOn]

Bocanegra would walk in our team

 

[S English]

Goldson with Hill getting an honourable mention

 

[Ted Rangers]

We really have struggled in that department, and still are struggling. Hopefully Edmundson continues to develop and Helander comes back fit and ready. Maybe a position that Ross Wilson will look to improve in the window.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

There are 14 players named & this shows where we are compared to historical centre halves. And i'm not even talking about legends like Gough, DJ, Dave Smith.

Oh, to even have a Carlos Cuellar or a Big Boogie ? I just wonder how close things would
have been this season with even one of these two ?

 

[Keltygeorge]

Goldson but i think in time it will be Helander

 

[wd1872]

Dire list but it has to be Goldson overall.

 

[Rangers_loyal_1]

Golson for me. Just wish he would stop doing the other teams defending when we get a corner though.

 

[Barryhopez]

You’ve missed probably the best we have ever had ..... big Rob Kieran !

Future England star Rob Kiernan?

I voted Goldson...best of an average bunch peppered with some haddies.

 

[Clicker]

Must be the big man.

 

[ecossebear]

Goldson, Katic, Hellander, Boca, Alves all class acts. McGreggor and Bates honourable mention for their effort. Russell Martin a huge mention for ensuring we will always be grateful or whoever we have in centre half by comparison!

 

[MSF]

People voting Katic are scary.

 

[Speminalium8]

There are two Goldsons. The one who played really well for us up to the winter break of season 18/19 ; and the one who played after that break and who played only a handful of good games but for the most part is morphing into Danny Wilson.

 

[KopGer]

I'm pleasantly surprised there are so few votes, I expected an avalanche given how admired he is by many on here.

FWIW, he's blessed with potential but for now he's too rash, too positionally unaware and needs too much on-field coaching to be a permanent fixture at CH. Plenty time to get there though, he's very young and still largely inexperienced.
