Brain Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 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.

Some thought he was at fault for at least one of Brums goals on Saturday.......time will tell if he can make the step up from the SPL to the Championship (or League 1 if we go down).....

Taribo Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I rate him highly. Wish he'd had a bit of time to settle into our ever-changing back 3, 4, 5. I'd love it if we signed him. I think he's out of contract at the end of next season - is that correct? I'm certain you'll want to / will keep hold of him though. r_wilcockson and Brain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Of what we've seen, looks a good player to me. Scored a goal, good in the air, strong, got a bit of pace about him. Ticks all the boxes. Just hasn't been given enough opportunities. Although, he's one of the loan signings I'd like to see return. Carnero, DCFC1388 and Brain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mix of injuries, us having too many loan players for a matchday squad, and WR continually picking Andre Wisdom at CB have limited his appearances though.

Wolfie Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 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* taffyram, RamontheMoor, maxjam and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboto Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 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. 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. ?

That's very similar to how I would summarise him. His passing and touch is very good for a centre back. 2 minutes ago, roboto said: 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. 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I would say he's not quite ready for regular championship football. You have to be very assertive, dominant in the air and positionally good. He's not there for me at the moment. However, I'm not going to write the guy off after a handful of appearances. Trouble is, we are under pressure right now and we need him to be 15% better. He's not the only one who's not good enough but has age on his side and looks to have a good attitude.

Seems alright, but the team is so fragile it's making everyone who is in it seem awful. NOt had a lot of games wit us and our problems are nothing to do with George Edmunson. Can't see any particular reason Rangers wouldn't want him (assume you just have slightly better options right now).

Steve How Hard? Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 A fully fit George would definitely be an asset to us. It's just a shame he's having to play not fully fit due to our injury list. For that reason I can excuse him for the shocking 2nd half display by all of our back four/five last Saturday. I think fully fit his main attributes are as a no nonsense, ball playing centre half. He's also a threat for us at set pieces. Doubt we can afford him at this moment in time unfortunately. Brain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
