Firstly, we don't know that there were not other interested parties, secondly, not everyone is aware of him and his ability, or they already have good centre backs under contract, or they can't afford him, or they just had other priorities, or they didn't interest Connor enough to take a pay cut...

I give up.

His ability makes him worth more, and the widely assumed sell on clause and (the less certain) buy back clause suggest our club thinks so too. Rangers are not in a position to spend big, so a compromise has been found to allow Goldson to move, and ensure we are not massively underselling him...

Ok, apologies for drawing an extreme conclusion, but to say he is not worth more because no one offered more is not right, if it was, antique dealers would never make a profit. Gross came for the same fee, clearly we got a bargain, if we were to recieve offers for him I think it would need to be...

I guess Gross must be shit then.

The fee is only part of the deal, a buy back clause could make it a good deal for us and a hefty sell on will see us not lose out. We have let good centre backs go before for small fees, Cook went for £150,000 because we could not give him the experience he needed to develop, Elphick went also...

I know, you wait 30 odd years for a CD with good feet, then two come along, one after the other. Time will tell, but I don't think we will have to wait too long to see how he does in the Premier League.

Based on potential and his current level, I don't think he is as far behind Dunk as you do, they are the same age ish but he just hasn't had the same level of experience as Dunk, and that would account for most if not all the difference I feel. Goldson is much more vocal on the pitch than Dunk...

Agreed, I would not be at all surprised to find we have a buy back clause in the sale contract, and I would not be at all surprised if we use it. I think he will be better than Dunk.

Glad they are seeing what we told them to expect, quite a few were disbelieving when told to expect him to be a star.
