He’s not exactly helped himself by going out on loan the last 2 seasons and being absolutely rubbish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hardly played a game in that time. He should have been sold as soon as he returned from Celtic. I am pretty sure he will come good but absolutely not with us.

We have kept him hanging on for years , it has been a nightmare for him. Doesn't help that he has legs made of soggy cardboard Did well at Celtic at the start then got injured Spent the first half of the following season injured again Got injured on his debut in the cup Went to Bristol City and was okay but still in and out of their squad Went to Cardiff didn't impress and was at fault for 2 goals on his debut Went to Leuven and didn't play The fact that he can't even get onto our bench now during a defensive injury crisis shows what Brendan thinks of him 4 minutes ago, An Sionnach said: He hardly played a game in that time.

Wouldn't have been able to sell him at the time as, surprise surprise, he got injured away with Croatia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 30 August 2021 Share Posted 30 August 2021 Judgment of players can be subjective even with highly experienced coaches like Rodgers. He thinks very highly of Ayoze Perez and no amount of evidence changes that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 30 August 2021 Share Posted 30 August 2021 He has been extremely unlucky with his loan moves. But the best he can hope for now is probably a move to a championship club, or maybe SPL. Maybe someone in one of the lesser European leagues will fancy a gamble on him...

It's the only explaination. Well it isn’t quite the only explanation. It might also be that Benkovic isn’t good enough, or isn’t perceived as good enough, and Praet, good player though he is, doesn’t really fit naturally into the way we play, and isn’t so good that you have to change the way we play to fit him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wokinghamfox Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 This has to be one of the most unfortunate tales of professional football woe of all time. The lad could write a book on how his life has been totally down trodden by football. I do feel extremely sorry for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 I love how people feel sorry for players or feel they haven't had a fair crack. Success players take opportunities and make thing happen. Benko has had 3 season under two LCFC manager to impress, and has not managed it. He had a loans at Bristol City, Cardiff and OHL and failed to impress. He was fit at all those clubs but still could'nt get a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we heard from Kingy, at OHL he was ostracised for being “the owners player”. He has been extraordinarily unlucky with his loan moves, Celtic aside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewquayFox Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 Honestly thought Benkovic was going to be a success for us, he seemed better than Soyuncu (probably is at the minute) but after that injury at Celtic he never recovered, sending him to Leuven was a big mistake as he should have stayed here and gone to a Championship or Division 1 side… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Cardiff they had a settled CB partnership and didn’t need him, he made one appearance, was never given a chance. At Bristol, he was given a chance (10 games ish), and they wanted to keep him: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/above-pay-grade-bristol-city-4332218?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 6 minutes ago, coolhandfox said: Bristol and Cardiff? Unlucky 3 times? From memory, the Bristol City fans were mostly impressed by him in the glimpses they got and couldn't work out why he wasn't played more given how poor they were last season. Something else is very wrong with the lad if a succession of managers won't play him when fit. It's difficult to see where he goes from here or even if another club will take him on. Perhaps the club will call it quits and mutually pay up his contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
