Couple do with a good few quality bosman signings.

We should be able to bring in players in the £3-5m pool. Our revenue isn't that far away from the tims and they're at the top end whilst we are growing ours. They seem happy to spend that amount and I think we should be too.Couple do with a good few quality bosman signings.

I'm sure Napoli was mentioned a while back on here. No idea if that was trueHas he been linked with any other clubs?
I'd love to sign him.
Duffy is a very good defender when he isn’t on the booze. It’s no coincidence he has been totally bombed out again.We have seen Duffy at his worst, he is only suitable for a team that is always on the defece
But he is an International player with a decent record down south

Doekhi will have plenty offers. Just hope we can get him.
Edit Dinamo Zagreb were also mentioned
Hadn't seen that. Honestly didn't think he would pick Dynamo Zagreb over us.It was reported about 10/11 days ago that he’s rejected Dynamo Zagreb.
I think it was Napoli I read he had quoted, as well as us, that he had offers from.

Napoli I wonder if he would be a guaranteed starter? That might be in his thinking.
is not length of contract that is problem ?Can someone show me where Rangers have offered Goldson another contact?
Yes, and if we do he will cost us a fortune.We will be doing very well to sign a better centre back than Goldson.
I think it's now clear Doekhi will be Goldson's long term replacement that's if we get a deal done but the player has said he is in no rush to decide and is fully focused with his current club.
Since we have tracked him since last May I think there is a decent chance we will get him but CL Football might play a part here that's why it's crucial we win the league.
Keep hearing this mirroring of Katic not being good enough,I am an individual with my own mind not prone to following the crowd,and my opinion is that Katic did nothing wrong at Ibrox for people to say he is not good enough.Get him signed.
We need two CB’s this summer to join Helander and Souttar (injury prone).
Goldson and Balogun potentially leave, Katić and Simpson not good enough.
Let him go ,we move onHe’s been offered the highest wage in our wage structure and didn’t take it that’s the facts his head has been turned and it’s highly probable he’s already signed somewhere else.
I would have liked him to stay as well but if he wanted to he would have signed a new contract buy now he’s gone.
No relation to Humphrey by any chanceHis uncle is Winston Bogarde. If he’s as good as him he’ll do just fine.
ExactlyAlex Miller 17 years at the Club, do you think he was better than Brian Laudrup who was there for four years. You can't judge someone on how many games they play
If he was that good why didn't Gerrard snap him up on a pre Contract?
nobody is saying he did anything wrong ffs but it's clear we need better going forwardKeep hearing this mirroring of Katic not being good enough,I am an individual with my own mind not prone to following the crowd,and my opinion is that Katic did nothing wrong at Ibrox for people to say he is not good enough.
Collosus?????? Pushing it a bit I think.He will really have to go some to improve us given we are losing Goldson who has been a collosus for us.
Hopefully Doekhi is some player.
I'd rather we didn't just accept mediocrity. Goldson is a good servant and that's great but if Rangers want to move on they need to be looking for someone with the potential to be better. Goldson is only going to get less effective from now on in.Yeah, we have all seen those players but it's different times now and Goldson is the best CB at this club and he will be very difficult to replace.
Helander is very good when he plays, which is almost never. Paying his wages so we can play an out of position LB in his place 90% of the time means he isn't our best defender. He is a waste of a wage.
Who would you rather have at the club? Goldson or Helander?
An undefeated season last year says otherwise. Give credit where credit is due.Collosus?????? Pushing it a bit I think.
Will he commute from Amsterdam daily?His uncle is Winston Bogarde. If he’s as good as him he’ll do just fine.
A good team effort and yes he made his contribution, ably bailed out numerous times by McGregor. Goldson was not a colossus. He is not a backs to the wall defender.An undefeated season last year says otherwise. Give credit where credit is due.

I dont think its pushing it at all.Collosus?????? Pushing it a bit I think.
Love big katic, brilliant attitude and great guy, will never ever forget that bullet header at the sty.I’m an individual with my own mind too - I couldn’t give a shit about following a crowd, I’ve got my own opinion.
My opinion is that Katić isn’t good enough and a year out of football hasn’t helped.
We have three centre backs currently levels about Katić.
Dont think he'd come out of retirementDavid Weir
This is it.I dont think its pushing it at all.
He literally has been a collosus for us.
Top top defender, player and captain in all but bame and we will sorely miss him if/when he moves in.
Must be an alcoholic.Duffy is a very good defender when he isn’t on the booze. It’s no coincidence he has been totally bombed out again.
Also, there is no chance in hell that we haven’t offered Goldson a deal. No club in the world doesn’t offer a contract to its 29 year old VC who plays every game.
His family don't want to live here because of the abuse they get regularly. I can't see him staying and I don't blame him.Totally agree.
Goldson won't be fully appreciated by some until he's gone. I really hope we're pulling out all the stops to somehow convince him to stay on, it's not a foregone conclusion imo - the fact he didn't sign a pre contract with anyone in January leaves a glimmer of hope that the big man will stay (and hopefully get a shot at CL). As reliable as they come and a proper Rangers CB, not without a mistake in him but what defender is? I reckon he must have had at least 8 CB partners during his time with us but he's been the one constant and that takes some doing.
If next seasons defensive options look like this this then I'd be a happy bear:
RB: Tav, Zukowski (assuming he's decent, bit of an unknown quantity at present)
CB: Goldson, Doekhi, Souttar, Helander (the lesser seen fit version), King
LB: New LB (sorry Borna but time is up), Basset
A good team effort and yes he made his contribution, ably bailed out numerous times by McGregor. Goldson was not a colossus. He is not a backs to the wall defender.
This is it.
I think many still have a blind spot when in comes to him. He’s a terrific defender and has been ever present, his fitness record is insane. The guy is a terrific professional athlete and has been a great defender for us. We’ll miss him if he leaves, and he won’t be easy to replace.
Ekrem has been spot on recently with rangers news
Apologies if covered elsewhere but is he a reliable source?
Meet Goldson half way and get him to sign, the guy has been a good servant to the club along with being the most reliable to be fit for the games otherwise we lose a £7.5million player and I doubt meeting Goldson in the middle will cost Rangers nowhere near £7.5m for the next 3 years
We can only keep him if he wants to be kept.I think we need to keep Goldson.
We’ll see some upheaval this summer, but he’s a proper vice captain. I’d build again but keep him and Tav now as the backbone.
McGregor and Davis going, they’ll both be huge as leaders.
We can only keep him if he wants to be kept.
Clearly keeping his options open until the end of the season and if he signs it’ll be for 1 of 2 reasons:-
Either we have considerably improved our offer or the type of offer he was hoping for from elsewhere hasn’t materialised.
I hope it’s neither of those and that he simply recognises that he is well paid for the job he does and is revered among our support.
Katic is decent. The worst thing that happens with him is that if he has a bad game, it's a total calamity. He had plenty of good performances for us but the one sticking in my mind was the debacle at St Johnstone. He's either a 7/10 or a 2/10. No middle ground.Think Katic polarises opinion. Some over state his ability, some understate it. I think hes a guy that has ability. His biggest flaws are diving in and distribution. Both can be improved.
Happy to leave it up to Gio though
Did you miss the first half versus them?We very rarely do backs to the wall defending. So how do you know?

The second goal was Goldson's back to the ballThat wasn't backs to the wall defending from us.

Watch it again, he turns his back on the ball and bends downNonsense.
Thats the bottom of a very long list of things that went wrong with that goal, if it's even a factor at all.
Agreed - on both sides. We wont be signing players like Doekhi if we dont get CL football to finance it, and he wont be coming here if we dont have CL football.TBH I think this will only happen if we get UCL.
