Both Under and Tah fit that bill. Risky and kind of counter-intuitive. There might well be a good reason that a player is struggling. Castagne and perez as well.

That's a good point, but they also cost next to nothing or free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 20 September 2020 Share Posted 20 September 2020 Benko is quality just a damn shame he's one of them players that will never be able to shake off his injuries. Agree, that Celtic probably got the most out of him and returned him to us as damaged goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this will be much easier to do than fofana as leverkusen are looking to sell 1 or 2 and hes lost his place there. Would imagine we'll fancy a loan to buy though.

Fuch Me Moore Posted 20 September 2020 Share Posted 20 September 2020 Maybe we are in for both?! Tah on loan with Fofana permanent. Rodgers doesn’t fancy Benko by the looks of it and Big Wes shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
