mozartfox Posted 23 January 2020 Share Posted 23 January 2020 If we sign him and farm out Benkovic, then whoever sanctions this needs to see a Doctor......and quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 23 January 2020 Share Posted 23 January 2020 Would honestly rather we looked at defenders who's deal is up in the summer and get them for a lower fee for 4th choice. Or even loan someone. We talk about not being able to compete with teams on paying vast sums of money but we could be cuter in not collecting £15-20m back up players and rather going big on real class and then picking up bargains for back up along the way. I like what I've read and seen on the young Bochum centre half Bella-Kotchap. Probably not anywhere near ready to be a key player here but he is going to be a beast of a player and they are 2and division. Get him for well under £10m 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 23 January 2020 Share Posted 23 January 2020 Before he signed he was seen as a very exciting player, I think we may have even been linked at the time. Theres definitely a player in there so this might be a better than expected signing. But to go from Demiral to this is very underwhelming. However, 15m for JV is a better deal than 50m for Dunk or Tarkowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 23 January 2020 Share Posted 23 January 2020 Contract through 2022 at ₤60K/week. That’s really steep for us for a rotation piece* Not sure CL qualification would change the economics enough to justify that. * more than Tielemans, Maddison, Souyuncu or Perez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Farley Posted 23 January 2020 Share Posted 23 January 2020 Can’t we just recall josh knight and give him some minutes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 23 January 2020 Share Posted 23 January 2020 Fook no, he is dire and Saints fans absolutely trash him. We can do much better even as back up. Plus, he doesn't suit what we need from a CB at all, would be useful for Burnley maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 23 January 2020 Share Posted 23 January 2020 Surely this is a wind up. Just give Amartey a place on the bench and wait until Summer. A.Surrey never let us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want Benkovic to play to get experience so he's a better player for us in the future. We won't do that unless we get cover first. Benkovic is not going to play here other than a few bit part appearances. On loan at Derby he would play most weeks. As to whether this guy is the answer I'm not sure. But we can't go the rest of the season with just Wes as back up so we need to sign someone if Benkovic is to go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we would be better off trying to get someone in on loan for the rest of the season then look to buy a 1st choice centre back in the summer. then in turn we can loan benkovic out to derby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted 23 January 2020 Share Posted 23 January 2020 According to the Saints forum, he’s been ruled out of their next game due to ‘injury’. In a years time he’ll be joining Ghezzal, Silva, Slimani out on loan until their contracts are up. Surely we can do better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
