    Could we convince him to go on strike once he goes back down south?

    Just shows how crucial it is to pin down a secure CB partnership, changes our game completely

    Him and Boyata were absolute mountains.

    Imagine having both of them in the qualifiers or earlier on in the group...

    Big problem is that he's class,Leicester know that and more worryingly so do Europe's top clubs.

    From the 7 games so far, his defensive fundamentals are at least on par with the 21 y/o VVD that joined us for me.

    Lacks a few things that make VVD so special, but I really see him becoming a top centre half.

    If we had spent the 13mil ourselves he's already worth 20mil+ on the inflated market. Board have failed us on this one.

    Think he's class but we need a CB in Jan to be bedded in for qualifiers next season. We better not wait and see as I can't say any chance Benkovic stays

    For any Leicester fans looking in, the boy is pish barely SPL standard.. but we'll take him off your hands.. we have an experienced German CB we will reluctantly swap for him..

    Watching the game easily without one eye shut ...due to the pair of central defenders.
    Steady defence apart from Lustig tiring in a he last 15.

    Best hope for us is that either Evans or Morgan have a great couple of months along side Maguire and that he decides to stick it out at Leicester.

    They have Soyuncu at the back who looks a great prospect as well, so hopefully he fits in whenever needed.

    Dont see it being extended, but hopefully those at Leicester make it a tough decision.

    Wasn’t even worried when we had to defend. Him and Boyata are world class, mental a few months ago we didn’t even have a good defence for the SPFL

    Even when he got his booking for handball first half, I wasn't fussed whatsoever..

    Didn't even remotely come close to a second booking..

    Simunovic, Hendry or whoever and the likelihood is they'd of flapped and done something daft..

    Agreed, I sit in the bushes outside his gaff most weekends and he even puts the bins out with a smile on his face.

    Aye don’t rate him. They should cut their losses or even loan him for two more seasons to try and make a player out of him.
