Yeah I didn’t mean with respect to getting him in on time to play a certain game, more in terms of getting someone in before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benkovic won't get into the Leicester team in 2020/1 anyway, especially if they're in the Champions League. We'd be able to bed him in this season and he could be a key player next year in what will hopefully be a promotion push. Then if promoted we'd have the money to sign him. Regardless though, what's disappointing is we should be trying to find a Benkovic of our own, to keep. Our recruitment team can't hold a candle to Brentford, Bristol City etc. Bristol?!

DCFC1388 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Looks like Leicester could have their man.... https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/10799259/leicester-transfer-southampton-jannik-vertergaard-champions-league/amp/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=sunfootballtwitter&utm_source=Twitter&__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 That should hopefully be good news for us. If Leicester finally get their CB In then that’ll sure give the green light for Benkovic to go out on loan. Hopefully we can get this one finally wrapped up over the next few days.

The performance against Leicester where they lost 9-0, I think he was dragged off. I can't see Leicester being interested purely because of that; he was castrated live on TV against them. I'd certainly be raising my eyebrows as a Leicester fan, especially as Benkovic (you would think) should at least be at the same level - if not better. Not questioning their scouting, btu would surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Can Benkovic play as a right-sided CB? Clarke is beginning to play well again and Wisdom seems to have his swagger back. Might Benkovic's arrival hasten Bogle's departure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbles Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Only issue with this is I don't like the idea of swapping and changing CB partnerships. WIsdom and Clarke seemed to be ok on saturday and would like to see more. Feel bad for Wiz if we make this signing because once again he will be back on the bench.

Keepyuppy Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I can’t say I’m a fan of loaning a player from another club, when there is no chance of signing them permanently. I’d much sooner scout the lower leagues for a ‘diamond’ in the making. a prime example of this is Matt Clark £1.5m. John Stones cost £1.5n. Harry Maguire was in my £750k. Other clubs do it , what’s wrong with our Scouts - are they completely useless ?. Looks like they are !! Get your bloody act together DCFC !!
