    Looks like he has had his head turned last summer, with that reported Leicester interest. Seems to have lost the focus this season.
    I would have well jarred off if he had went last summer, but right now, we just need to cash in our chips and reinvest in a partner for big CJ. I would be happy with 10M plus Benko, spend 8M on new defender and punt Joso.

    Even he will realise that his stock has fallen recently. A move now will neither suit him getting a good club or us getting a good fee.

    We could very easily get a better defender than him. He isn't a good defender whatsoever for me..

    Abysmal in the air. Goes to ground too often. Gets touch tight. Gets bullied. Gets caught square on a lot. Isn't comfortable when dragged out wide..

    We would miss him bringing the ball out from the back as he can be good there though..

    Still has potential to be a top player but if he's wanting off then it could explain a lot of this season..

    Timing from the media doesn't surprise me. Timing of the agent does though considering he still has 2 year's left..

    If he went to England, Germany or wherever....he'd get found out really badly at centre half at this stage of his career..

    Fair enough..

    He isn't what I'd call a savvy defender that likes to do that side of the game. No doubt due to being a midfielder..

    If you think he's a good defender then that's your opinion..

    I would do a straight swap for Benkovic with a smile on the face

    Probably just a cunty agent trying to get some interest for his own benefit.

    We're in a difficult position with Ajer. We've got a huge season coming up next year and we really don't want to be having to replace key players this Summer. But, if he won't sign a new deal and there is genuine interest, it would be a big risk to turn down good money for him.

    We already need to sign a 'keeper (hopefully Forster stays), a centre-half, a left-back (assuming Boli is done) and probably at least one winger since the only one to be playing and performing relatively consistently is Forrest.

    If he's only got 2 years left this summer then he either needs to sign a new contract or leave. Can't have players like him walking out in his last year like Boyata where we could have pocketed 10m from Fulham.

    I like Ajer, he's a big character in the team but he is not a centre half and we could do much better.

    He's an excellent player but we need an excellent defender. Reckon we can get £15m.

    Anything over 10mill and I'd go for it, use the money to science up a clone of Julien.

    Good player but we can definitely find a better player with the funds we get for him so it's not a major blow imo.

    I’d rather keep him, develop him into the player he could be, then eventually sell for a much bigger fee.

    He's not a good enough centre half. Pish in the air and his positioning is all over the place at times by getting caught ball watching and losing his man. I've always thought he'd be ideal in Brown's position but if he wants to go let him and jozo also and buy 2 big no nonsense centre halves. I'd be more worried if it was jullian.
