Goldson or King?

It's not 'either/or'. It should be 'And'.

 

I want King to play because I think he's good enough, albeit young and flawed. 

 

If a team can't carry a few mistakes from a youngster, the team is sh*te.

Goldson and Davies is our best partnership.  King's time will come, but it doesnt need to be rushed

Absolutely but they’re both injured.

Perhaps King’s time has come. We are now thin on the ground for CB’s. Whose bright idea was it sign injury-prone Souttar?

Rushed ? 

 

He is the only fit centre back we have.

 

Not having an experienced operator beside him makes it much more difficult and almost certainly some harsh lessons will follow. However, he is a solid young player and has a rare opportunity in front of him.

 

Davies has looked ok when he has played but you have to wonder about his medical condition and how he has been used. Week after week we wondered why he was sat on the bench and then when he did play, why he was alway substituted.

 

The Liverpool game was his first 90 minutes for 6 months.

Maybe this current injury was inevitable.

Is a bad injury for Tav inevitable, it was for Morelos last season.

 

Do we look to collect crooked centre backs to play alongside Goldson ?

Now that Goldson has a bad injury, we are badly exposed.

Mr Magoo could see it was a bad idea.

Aye.

 

AC Milan used to collect an over age defence but were very successful.

 

Obviously the players were of an excellent level but the clubs approach was interesting.

The gossip seems to suggest Goldson is going to be out for 4-6 months, which is seriously bad news.

[Rousseau 9,384]

Was it likely that Souttar would be injured? Yes.

 

I don't have a problem with it though. 

 

He was a free transfer, and when he's fit and firing he's one of the best in the league. 

 

I think I've asked this before, but is he actually injured? I thought it was a bereavement thing? But then, he's been out for a while, so it has to be an injury.

As usual its as clear as mud.

We probably paid him a meaty sign on fee and a decent wage to get him here.

Yes...

 

I'm not convinced he's on a lot. Certainly less than our first choices.
