I wonder how many people mentioned Goldson's age when arguing for him to move on.

Age isn't the main driver, but for the last half of the season you could clearly see his legs weren't at the races.

Which key metrics concern you? 

Tackling seems mediocre. 11th percentile in defensive 3rd, 53rd percentile overall. Past three seasons have been around that level, two seasons before were lower with the lowest being the 8th percentile overall. 
 

Dribblers tackled numbers are low across seasons, both in terms of instance (25th percentile) and success (7th percentile). Again suggests he isn’t a particularly strong/aggressive defender. 
 

Blocks numbers on the lower side but inconsistent across seasons. They are a top 5 side so it may be due to that, would have to compare other defenders. 
 

Interceptions generally low. 
 

Aerials aren’t great either. He gets involved a lot which is good, but his success rate is mixed. Percentiles for success rate over five seasons are 49th, 25th, 83th, 56th and 83th. A couple of good seasons there but safe to say he isn’t particularly dominant in the air. 
 

Playing for a top 5 team could possibly explain some of the lower numbers.

Anyone signed, sealed and delivered?

Cool - welcome to Rangers Robin Propper, go make yourself a hero.

 

Just another 3 or 4 starters especially if Tav (looking unlikely given his interview today), Cantwell and Hagi move on.

You had a rant lined up if we hadn't signed anyone, didn't you?

Aye, the UCL deadline is a kick in the teeth but hopefully the club are steadfast in their approach to the rebuild after it - we've still got a month to sort a lot of it out.

 

We've also got January and the summer after this one, let's not think this is a one window job! If we do we'll fail.
