Muzzy_Larsson Posted 19 August 2019 Posted 19 August 2019 He’s looked excellent the past two games, if he keeps this up he’ll be a far better player than someone like Dunk and you’ll have saved the guts of £50m also.

How does he compare to Benkovic from what you've seen @henrik_62?
katieakita Posted 19 August 2019 Posted 19 August 2019 The club did spend £30 million + on a replacement for Maguire when they signed 2 of the best available young centre halves in Europe last summer. Sure the club would have bought in a centre half if they thought one of Soyuncu, Benkovic or Morgan cut not measure up this season. The sale of Maguire looks really good business but not if we had spent £40-£50 million on an inferior replacement
JamesfromlondonLCFC Posted 20 August 2019 Posted 20 August 2019 I really think Maguire leaving has galvanised him. He has seen this as an opportunity to show us what we have been missing week in week out. I really believe it. He looks focused, determined and able. Only a couple of game of course, but I really hope he can keep it up.
Superpants82 Posted 20 August 2019 Posted 20 August 2019 I don't ever remember Slabhead putting in two back to back Motm performances 🤔 in all seriousness though I bloody love where we're at right now as a club. All that moaning and bitching about replacing Maguire, not replacing Maguire. Alot of fans completely overlooked Soyuncu and Benkovic even talk of sending them out on loan, but seriously what a revelation he's been. Well done that man.
Babylon Posted 20 August 2019 Posted 20 August 2019 Are people going over the top about his performances because we're desperate to not look bothered about losing Maguire? He's done well, but MOTM on Sunday... really? Revelation? Really?

He's done well, but MOTM on Saturday... really? Revelation? Really? I think he's quite clearly got quality. For me he was definitely man of the match against Wolves and was very good against Chelsea. Of course only time will tell how consistent or error prone he's going to be but there's clearly enough there to sing his praises.

I'm a massive fan of Benkovic and think he could cope with the EPL no problem. That said, he's now at the point where Soyuncu is becoming proven and ahead of him in the pecking order so it will be interesting to see going forward. Haven't seen enough of Soyuncu other than the past two games to compare properly tbh.
ealingfox Posted 20 August 2019 Posted 20 August 2019 Obviously there's still question marks about Benkovic. Of course they raved about him in the SPL but when he's stepped up to a higher level like Croatia U21s and Leicester U23s we haven't seen much to indicate that he makes a difference.

No doubt, just seems to have gone well above solid praise for doing well, to a weird level of fawning over him.

He's done well, but MOTM on Sunday... really? Revelation? Really? I'm with you on this. He's played well and it looks promising, but as others have pointed out, there were two or three occasions he rushed in, got turned and there was a gap at the back. Its very promsing, but lets give him time and reflect after 10 games or so. He definately deserves a prolonged opportunity based on what we've seen so far and we are all desperate for him to do well
HankMarvin Posted 20 August 2019 Posted 20 August 2019 He has made a great start 2 tough games Former £80m defender hasn’t been missed. He has looked quite composed and not panicked. Apart from a goal or assist not sure much more could be asked of him, averaging 70 passes a game 89 percent accuracy, the same as Maguire
st albans fox Posted 20 August 2019 Posted 20 August 2019 Why is there an active Söyüncü transfer thread ?? cantbtjis be moved to the normal Lcfc part of the forum ??
