    Playing, winning and doing well against the likes of Leipzig won't have gone unnoticed but I doubt he's staying because of European football as they'd of waited till after Salzburg at home to make a decision before the January window..

    Good news anyway..

    Only Celtic could finally get a decent centre half pairing sorted, only for both to be away at the end of the season. Typical.

    Has made a huge difference.

    He’ll go on and become a seriously class centre half during a period of time there aren’t many of them about.

    Said for ages that a quality centre back would make a huge difference to our chances in Europe. Hopefully we can find a capable replacement.

    Leicester must be loving what they are seeing of him the lucky *, we need someone similar to him.

    Ajer replaces Boyata no problem but replacing Benkovic is going to be a lot * harder. We’ll need splash similar cash we did with Eddy.

    If there's any Leicester fans reading, you've got a future top class centre half on your hands. Feels like cheating having him in for the year :56:

    imo he has performed better than what Van Dijk did in the europa league, he has played 3 games for us and all 3 games we have won, while Van Dijk played 6 (group stages) and we only won 2 (against arguably weaker opposition). Don't think people realise how young he is as well- 1 month younger than Tierney. We would probably be in the champions league this season if he was here against AEK, can only hope he doesn't like the plastic league next season and wants to come back to proper football.

    No way does Ajer replace Boyata, Boyata is miles ahead of him.

    And also about 6/7 year older than him. Ajer will be a far better Centre half at Boyatas age.

    That doesn't matter we can't afford to lose Boyata or Benkovic if we lose either or both , we need to bring in quality and experience simple as that.

    Say we sell Boyata for 8m cost at least that to replace him so better to give him a new deal, Benkovic hopefully extends his loan into next season. top level partnership formed.

    It didn’t cost us £8m for him in the first place. Spending cash doesn’t guarantee a quality replacement just as much as quality scouting and recruitment does. Every signing we make is a gamble.

    Absolutely no way can he be replaced by a project. He's shown the value of bringing in a top centre half
