Surely Albion would put a decent sell-on clause considering the age of Goldson as well.

Yeah this does not sit right for me, He clearly is a very good prospect and can cover at the moment, This maybe himself wanting to go or his agent pushing him.
I would not be adverse to a loan, we could potentially letting a very good player go to cheap.

We got Gross for around £3m didn't we?

I think £3million is a good price for him, especially if he's suggested to the club that he'd be interested in moving on.

Yep I was one who said at least 5 million and he would be a bargain at that price. 3 million is far too low. If it wasn't cash strapped Rangers after him we wouldn't even negotiate at 5 million but I suspect if this is all true Connor would like the move and we may have to consider a lower offer than first imagined! I don't think we would want to stand in a players way if we thought he had made up his mind about joining them. Fantastic opportunity to play for a huge club (albeit in Scotland)
3m was Gross' buyout clause as his team had been relegated. We paid more than that to him and his agent to seal the deal. I forget what the estimated fee was but it was a lot more than 3m still a bargain though. The same with Andone we offered 15m last year for him but were able to just pay his buyout clause money of 5m this year and again we will have paid pretty much what we offered last year to him instead. Its hard to know for sure what the fees are in these cases though because the club and the players rarely disclose the money paid.
I agree we just paid 5m for a Nigerian/German who is not a homegrown player and an unknown as to how he will fare in the premiership. If Goldson wants to leave though it may force our hand.
Goldson is a very good CB and obviously he wants to play regularly. Perhaps a loan is a good option.

Balogun, he was a free wasn’t he?

I'd prefer that, I think he's really good.

I say that we must keep him, nurture him to becomig the player that we believe he can. A loan period maybe, for regular games . We had Jesse Lingard , look where he is now.
Or deliberately play him in games we think he can cope with. To lose him cheap and see him become a star for someone else would be tragic.

He is 26 this year.

At the end of the day, however good, or otherwise, we determine Goldson to be, whether we think it is a good thing for him to be sold, or not, ultimately, for as long as l can remember anyway, the Albion have tried to do their best by a player.
In other words, if a player can't force his way into the team, or play enough games, isn't happy, and decides he wants to leave, the club, having tried to persuade him otherise, will normally let him have his way.

Rangers need to up their game on this transfer as according to ( the unreliable ) HITC, a *host* of Championship clubs are now interested.
