Kopfkino Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 Nothing wrong with a loan signing like this, just fills a space in the squad for a few months before doing proper business in the summer. Also has good experience of playing in a 3 and with Rodgers signalling he wants that option it probably makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers has been flirting with it ever since he arrived so I expect we'll see more of that now but we seem worse off in that setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 Hopefully not cup tied and we won’t see him start a prem game as won’t be needed likely to see him on the bench whilst wes is struggling with injury - probably have Fuchs as cover tomorrow Grear for benko to go out and prove his fitness so we know where we stand come the summer not bothering to read the thread as many of you won’t have a clue about running a football club !!

This lad won't even get a game. nor will Benko - thats the point. This, Im assuming, gives an opportunity for Benko to get real game time for half a season so that he can progress and have an oppotunity to stake a fiirst team claim. Hes not going to progress if he stays with us warming the bench and not playing Edited 31 January 2020 by Jacnah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 Were people expecting us to sign prime Puyol to sit on the bench every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 Centre back cover with a good number of Premier League games under his belt. A sensible move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieTodger Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 Prefer him to Vestegaard. I wish we'd prioritise a wide player but I don't understand the responses in here. We're not going to sign someone to displace Soyuncu or Evans at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 (edited) We sold Harry Maguire's right knee cap for 5m, so hardly the end of the world if this doesn't work out. Interesting to know if it's an option OR an obligation. EDIT: Update: Very good deal if you ask me. We are probably getting a loan fee for Benkovic that covers the loan fee for Bennet. If he's half decent or forced in due to an injury to someone else we can pick up for peanuts. If he's complete crap we've invested almost nothing. Rudkin on top form!

glebe_sydneyfox Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 I like this signing. Perfect for our current requirements in defence and doesn't cos us much at all. Smart move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably the only way we can get both Vardy and Nacho in the side, plus it solves our winger problem. The issue hasn't bee the formation, but the personal in my opinion, Fuch, Morgan, Chilwll , not real the players to be the 3rd CB. I still think Ricardo and Chilwell can be very good wing backs.

Wortho Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 He is just awful. Wolves would rather play midfield players in defence than play him. All he can do is boot the ball out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 Signing a player and hoping they wont play is gReAt BuSiNeSs - I've heard it all now. How about going out, showing some ambition and spending money on a player good enough that you hope will play? We're supposed to be going for a Champions League place ffs.

fuchsntf Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 If Benkovic,is ok to go out on loan,surely he his fit and ready,to be kept here,and be given some Part of gametime.... I normally Don t question,any Player investment,I rather encourage...( And Bennet should be welcomed..!!!)...but just IMO,a strange one! Maybe, he can give,or come and suprise us like Evans did.... He pulls that blue Shirt with the foxes badge over his head..then he gets my Full support.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simoken Posted 31 January 2020 Share Posted 31 January 2020 Smart move, someone cheap with PL experience to cover the Backline while our future CB goes out on-loan to get well needed gametime, do i have to state the obvious.. #cheerup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
