mozartfox Posted 7 November 2019 Posted 7 November 2019 What about WBA they have a Croatian Manager? It is totally pointless him going anywhere near the SPL again as he needs to be tested week in and week out to progress. Another half season north of the border will regress him.

Alf Bentley Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Anyone heard any reliable news about Benkovic? Seems odd that he's not even making the bench or playing in cup games, despite his original injury having reportedly been minor..... If he's nowhere near contention for 1st team for whatever reason, we'll surely need to bring in another centre-back in January. Maybe another young prospect capable of stepping up if need be - or an experienced but still decent CB near the end of his career, so a cheap stopgap? Our CB options are limited otherwise: Evans, Soyuncu, an aging Wes.........who else? Fuchs in an emergency, but hardly ideal? Wouldn't want to move Ndidi from midfield. Has Justin ever played CB?

rachhere Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 It is very weird. I am sure a new CB is top of our shopping list.
Guest An Sionnach Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Benko has the physical stature of Maguire and that is something that Liverpool have in Van Dyke and Matip so let's hope we can make use of that.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Lots of unnecessary flapping in this thread. Simple fact is there's just no room for him in the matchday squad right now. Next year there might be. He'll be a good player for us.

You would think though if that was the only case he would be getting more play in the U23's ?

My guess is that we are making sure he has fully recovered from his injury, its one that he's been playing through for some time. Id guess we have something lined up for him in january already.
January47 Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 That would be my guess too as he is now training with theirs team squad. Can’t see him going anywhere in January though unless we sign someone.

Desabafar Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 tbh i do worry that morgan is our only back up at the moment
Stadt Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Our availability rates/days lost to injury have been incredibly low since Pearson's second spell. Or sports science and medical departments are some of the best in the business so I trust them completely on Benkovic

Mendy isn't playing in the U23's, and Armarty just made his first appearance. Benko is training with the first team, and appears in photos/videos posted by the club Brendan knows him better than anyone after Celtic, so I trust his judgement (and see the rise of Nacho, who I thought was beyond hope.)
gurru991 Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Benkovic started for the U23s today against Everton. They won but I don't know how he did.

Didn’t have much to do, but whatever he did, he did well. Assisted the first with header from a corner. Commentators mentioned he went out of his way to ask for game time in the U23s.
420Hashish Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 I feel the staff will do with Benkovic what they did with Iheanacho. Leave him out of the squad for a long time till they feel he's ready and then put him on the bench.
gurru991 Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 There is no doubt in my mind that he will come good and be an integral part of the team. Obviously Rodgers & Toure have a plan going forward that they don't intend to rush.
Foxxed Posted 9 December 2019 Posted 9 December 2019 Is there a chance that he’s fit and ready but Wes is keeping him out of the matchday squad?
