    It isn't a 1 off though..

    At these away grounds against Clarke, Levein and Lennon....he get's out thought too easily and we seem to be overly bullied and second to every ball at these shitholes..

    It better get sorted..

    Aye, in that regard today Christie was a massive loss. Never even mind the rest he brings.

    In general for a big bit of a boy, he get's bullied a lot..

    Still no convinced about him at centre half, especially with his lack of pace on the turn..

    Think he'd be good in midfield with McGregor and Christie in January..

    Agreed, he always played as a midfielder in Norway as well. It’s definitely his natural position. His composure, passing ability and awareness are better utilised there than at CB, he lacks the aggression and strength for that position IMO.

    He also isn't very good in the air either for his monstrous height..

    He should deffo be given a crack in the middle. We talk of needing a big anchor man type at time's and we could have 1 right under our nose as we picked him up because he was so good in the Norwegian top flight as a centre mid as you say..

    What's to lose?

    He's another one for me who is a good squad player but not good enough to be starting every week. Like so many others in the squad

    Needs to be playing every week to develop,if not here then maybe another loan,if we bring in another cb this window,English championship would be good for him.

    Do think DM is an option he's great at running with the ball too.

    I think the CB should be emergency cover.

    He would just slow down play in midfield, we have no need for a dm in the league we need someone who will chase everything down and press hard. He wouldn't be able to do that imo.

    He's only 20 years of age and he's made massive leaps forward already. He's getting caps for Norway already at centre half after playing there for next to no time at Celtic.

    Comfortable on the ball and can stride out of defence.
    Thought these stats proved that how effective he can be. Still very young and will only improve if given games.

    I do rate Benkovic a bit higher, but when he leaves and we bring in another to replace Boyata, I hope Ajer makes a place at CB his own

    Hopefully Ajer keeps his place in the side until the end of the season beside Benkovic. Be good for him to get a good run of games

    That should be our first choice pairing in central defence and goalkeeper.
    That wantaway * got far too much praise for playing well in games like this, so I hope Ajer gets the same.

    He's a cracking talent. This season he's struggled a wee bit at times but he's still young.

    With Boyata's agent saying that there's no chance of him signing a new deal, I'd happily see Ajer and Benko as the first choice pairing at CB.
