I do rate Duffy in the correct sort of system. His biggest issue at Celtic is that he's completely the wrong sort of defender for the high line system that they use.

From a Rangers fan, that's what you would expect due to lack of pace being his obvious weakness, but the many goals he has cost them haven't had anything to do with pace, just incompetence. He's had calamitous performances against everyone from Sparta Prague to St Mirren. It's anyone's guess how he carved out a career for himself in the EPL. 

Thanks for the responses anyway guys. I'm predicting Derby stay up on the final day with Edmundson scoring a late winner.

I need to be obvious here and say he is by no means ‘very fast’

He is one the fastest centre backs I've seen. Maybe he hasn't shown it yet at Derby.

 ? no problem mate. That stuff is a pet hate of mine for various reasons. Both sides of it. 

Appreciate the response. ?

 

For what it's worth, the role of religion in the rivalry and hatred up here is massively overblown by the media. Rangers fans have nothing against catholics, most of our players are catholics.

You missed Lawrence off that list. ?

Rangers fans don't like him much, he was acting the hard man squaring up to people during a friendly game last season.

Fancy trading him for Wisdom, Davies and Waghorn? If not, how about we chuck in Carson, Malone and Jozefzoon? Fantastic deal that is... 6 for 1!

They had Waghorn when he was 5 years younger and sold him for 250 k.  We spent 20 x that on him 12 months later.?

Not sure they'd want him back with another 100,000 miles on the clock.

I could have told you Waghorn was overrated. Certainly raised an eyebrow when I heard the fee mentioned at the time.

Very much up in the air as to whether he is affordable though

I think the covid breach at Rangers means you could get a bargain, I could see us selling him for a low fee with a high sell-on. He has the potential to be a multi-million pound player but that will only be realised by making himself a regular.

Would he not be behind Goldson, Helander, Katic, Simpson & Balogun next season at yours? So 6th choice, maybe even 7th if you kept Mayo around as young option.

I could see and hope you would look to sell him in the summer, would 100% like us to get him on a permanent. Reckon you would just be happy to get back what you paid for him (650k I have read)?

He would be fighting for 3rd choice, but the fact we signed Simpson and Balogun was given an extension does suggest George will be leaving. Yes the fee was in that region. I'd be disappointed if we didn't make a profit on that because I could see him being worth good money if he nailed down a starting position in the Championship as he is only 23.

Can't see any particular reason Rangers wouldn't want him (assume you just have slightly better options right now

It's a strong position, we only play two CBs and Goldson and Helander are very good and both 28. 

Only reason he is on loan is the covid breach though.

I'd like us to keep him. He is calm on the ball and has shown a decent range of passing ability in the chances he's had so far. Looks no nonsense in the tackle, but his positioning has let him down a couple of times with us.

That's very similar to how I would summarise him. His passing and touch is very good for a centre back.

I don't think he is ready for European football, so you might as well let him go and bring in someone more suitable for yous. ?

Haha. Well he did his bit in when he stepped in in a 1-0 away win at Braga last season which took us to the last 16. I hope he returns, though he is a bit unproven in terms of proper defending, but I don't think it looks likely.

Sorry, no idea who you mean.

We do have a new CB (Icelandic, I think) called Edmundsson who's pretty good & definitely isn't the same bloke.

Hope you find yours.

*hangs up*

I guarantee you the Rangers forum is worse for getting player names wrong.

Some thought he was at fault for at least one of Brums goals on Saturday

Just watched those, he could have been stronger at both, mainly the first though.

I'd love it if we signed him. I think he's out of contract at the end of next season - is that correct?

No he's under contract at Rangers till 2023, transmarkt will show 2021 because that's his loan deal.

4 minutes ago, Taribo said:

I'm certain you'll want to / will keep hold of him though.

He was loaned out due to a COVID breach that could have cost us and Gerrard took very seriously. Jordan Jones was loaned to Sunderland for the same reason. Neither were in any matchday squads after the breach. It will be interesting to see if they will be forgiven but there's a good chance Gerrard wants them moved on.

Rangers fan here, sorry to see you guys are struggling at the moment and I hope you can turn it around. 

I just joined forum to ask how George Edmundson is doing? I think he is a good player who was very unlucky with us. He is very fast and very good on the ball, both of which are unusual for a centre back. I didn't see enough of him in terms of his general defensive play though, probably because we play in a terrible league.
