Lambert09 Posted 8 January 2021 Share Posted 8 January 2021 Perhaps I’m missing something with the benkovic to Celtic connection? He went to Celtic when Br was manager and since then they’ve changed scouts and the management set up. What’s the connection now? are the board pushing for this or is it simply fan speculation based on the fact he was decent there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His link up with Boadu is a big feature in Boadu scoring record this season, the ideal scenario would be to get both. I followed AZ a lot last season and Stengs, Boadu, Idrissi, Koopmeiners and Wijndal were unbelievable. They were like Frankfurt the season before as my favourite European team. However, this season Stengs and Boadu have been very mediocre. Stengs has improved a bit recently but Boadu has been worryingly poor this season. I think AZ have probably peaked with these players and several will be sold, its Wijndal and Koopmeiners who are having quality seasons again though. I'd still love Stengs and Boadu though, £50m would easily get the pair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you can always do better, but I have played a lot of games at a very high level. Everyone at Celtic has told me they are happy with me. “I have spoken to Neil Lennon.

Good point but I wonder how much we ask a club for wages wise? If they also see him as a potential injury risk it probably puts them off. There's got to be a reason why there aren't many takers and if you can't force your way into a Bristol or Cardiff side then probably it speaks volumes.

Very much a player who incorporates our DNA and as a squad player, he would be a great asset. Perhaps he could just be the player we need when all is going wrong to lift the team by his industry and never say die attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear out the likes of slim and Grey, pocket the savings on wages to offset any losses due to COVID. further releases in summer being Fuchs and Morgan will then allow a fb, cb, winger and striker to replace them in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so hard when you have a negative manager and lack of players around supporting you in attack. At Leicester he’d have less leg work and be able to show that quality better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Daka sitting on the bench for occasional games, he needs to be playing regularly for International football. It will have to be a promising young player we feed into our system who can also be mentored by Vardy. The older Vardy gets the more he will want to play, we bring a player of Daka's stature in and Vardy retires at Sheffield Wednesday. We do not play with two up front.

OhYesNdidi Posted 10 January 2021 Share Posted 10 January 2021 Stokes GK looked good I thought, only 20 years old! Kasper is still in the prime of his career but maybe someone to keep tabs on - can’t see jakupovic or ward being good enough to replace him & I can’t comment on iverson!

Up until this season he'd not scored more than 7 league goals and the first season he does score more, 40% of his goals are penalties. And we don't need a penalty taker as we have Maddison and Tielemans. I made it clear his penalties are irrelevant to LEICESTER not in general. If a team needed a penalty taker I'm sure he'd seem a much better prospect. If you seriously think that's me saying "penalties don't count" then I give up. Won't bother trying to have a conversation in future as you clearly have no interest in actually reading what I said and are only going to try and belittle me.
