    Don’t get it either. He’s clearly got plenty of ability, but he was injury prone and couldn’t get himself back into the side ahead of Boyata or Jozo when Lennon took over.

    There’s plenty of other centre backs about.

    Even if you were to look past the concerns about his injury history, his wages could be an issue seeing as he's at a Premier League club.

    If Leicester want Ajer, I’d happily take Benkovic as part of the deal.

    Yes, seems like Lennon does not rate him.

    He’s in the epl so will be. You do realise though, he was here on loan.

    When I talked to him he would love to come back but he has to end the Season with Bristol since then nothing new but I think he does not suit to Lenny

    Such a waste. He is much better than Cardiff city.

    Feels like so many players get a move to England then just earn that salary while playing in other divisions.

    His loan at Cardiff hasn't worked out, Brendan looking to get him back out elsewhere, I rated him when he was here, competent enough in possession & in his defending more often than not, also a threat in the opposition box at set pieces, nothing has worked out for him since he left but maybe a 6 month loan could see him back to the form he was in here before be left, was brilliant the night we beat Leipzig, his injury record would be the biggest concern.

    Agreed I thought he was very good when he was here during that brief spell.

    Honestly I think the early promise he showed at Zagreb hasn't really come to fruition and we should leave it there.

    Also, 6 month loans are the last thing we need. We'll be scrambling about in the summer again before the qualifiers.
