No. He was on loan to Bristol and returned to Leicester in January, to cover for Benny. He went to Reading in the summer of 2016, vocally complaining about how Ranieri was treating him (no locker with first team when he returned from vacation.) He has also spoken about how painful the title season was for him personally, since he wasn't given any game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing well now though as captain of Reading but at 26 he might have found his level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 14 August 2019 Share Posted 14 August 2019 Anyone else getting a gut feeling that Benkovic is crocked? haven’t seen any pictures of him training, or in u23 matches or anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. He had injury concerns before he came to us, got injured at Celtic, played in the u21 world cup and now he's slowly getting back to fitness. I'd have thought he'd be in the u23s the other day if he wanted to improve his fitness too. Benk looks real quality, the Celtic fans were comparing him to VVD. Yet the club and manager seem to be placing real emphasis on Soyuncu. Anyhow I'm glad we bought both Benkovic and Soyuncu last year rather than go for only Benk.

Sly Posted 20 August 2019 Share Posted 20 August 2019 I have to say, I’ve been really happy with what I’ve seen in the couple of games so far. He’s looked no worse than Maguire at Manchester United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weller54 Posted 29 September 2019 Share Posted 29 September 2019 Another fantastic performance today. OK, he wasn't really tested but everything he did was so Classy. Massive test for him next Saturday. Is this guy every bit as good as Maguire? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murphy Posted 29 September 2019 Share Posted 29 September 2019 I thought he was excellent first half. He seemed to win all of his duels and he's as strong as an ox. Second half was a procession. Soy and Evans with their cigars on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he killed off theat counter-attack and turned it into a counter-counter-attack in the first half, was a joy to see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I now feel far more comfortable with our defence then I think I ever did with Maguire in it. Those runs upfield caused issues, ditto his lack of pace to recover from them. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 30 September 2019 Share Posted 30 September 2019 Fair play to him, he's stepped up massively. I was worried, it was clear the lad had talent but those errors were a worry, he still has it in him as he's always going to be a bit of a maverick but at the current level of errors it's not an issue really. I think my comment about him 6 months ago was 95% Bobby Moore, 5% Bobby Davro... it's more like 98% Bobby Moore now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTY_FOX Posted 30 September 2019 Share Posted 30 September 2019 (edited) Also, he gave Joelinton a stare second half after a coming together that pretty much looked like he was ready to rampage.

Glad he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancunianfox Posted 30 September 2019 Share Posted 30 September 2019 I criticised Maguire loads for being out of position so often and that thing Cags does where he comes quite high out of defence to press where you would expect the midfielder to be should give me nightmares. It it is so effective thought and frequently stops the opposition from building anything. We look way better at the back this year both when defending and with the ball.

Tommo220 Posted 30 September 2019 Share Posted 30 September 2019 When the reports of United's interest in Maguire first came about, i remember saying to my mate that although he's arguably one of our best players, he's also the one player that can easily be replaced by what we've already got - and that has been proven in spectacular fashion. Caglar for me is comfortably better than the Maguire of last season, with the benefit of being 3 years younger. Fantastic business by the Club. Hopefully Benko turns out to be as good when he gets his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
