I think Brendan also rates Boyata as our best cb.
I think he does which disappoints me a bit but he's the boss.
I think he rates Boyata's pace, that's all. The pace allows us to play higher up the pitch without fear of the ball over the top.
Sadly, that's all he's got. A brief spell last season when it looked like it all clicked has now gone. He's back to being the bombscare we hoped he wouldn't be.

I think young Hendry has a bit of pace and he might be partnering Ajer in the medium to long term.

We need to buy a first pick centre half - use compper, Ajer and Hendry in rotation

I think he's got a cheek refusing new contract talks given his recent errors and performances. Fair enough if he was playing really well.

I imagine the only reason talks of a new deal are even commencing with this dumpling is to punt him for more money if any decent offers come in for him. Nowhere near what’s required at domestic level, nevermind any European aspirations the club may have.

He's having a laugh.
Big Jack Palancer with the heart of a pea, chucked it in the sevco semi,
Punt.
Was speaking to Charlie Mulgrew's cousin a while back - Charlie told Boyata to stay down when he got injured in order to be taken off as Boyata, in Charlie's opinion, had lost the plot entirely.

..and now Mulgrew has a topknot. Out of the two, who has really lost the plot here?

Aye, chucked it and missed the Euros for a laugh.
?? Laugh comment was related to him not signing new deal.
As for the euros, he would have been behind Aldeweirld( sp!) Vertonghen, Vermarlean and Denayer.

Efe Ambrose is less of a bombscare than Boyata.

Boyata played well in the away game against an Anderlecht side that was in turmoil.

Efe played well against Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow as we got 10 points in Champion League in 2012.

I thought we might have had something in the making last season with Dedryk, but that's all shot now. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt before the last hun game, but no more.

Can't agree with that. Boyata is a more secure defender than Ambrose is.

Our defending in that that Barca game is a little bit overrated, IMO. They had countless clear cut chances that were thwarted by Forster. Any other keeper in goals and we probably get mauled worse than the 7 Barca and PSG put past us recently.

For every CL game you wanna bring up there's the goals shipped v dross like Lincoln Red Imps and Tahiti that he's responsible for. He's found his level, IMO.

He says he loves Celtic. Maybe that's why he's not signing a new contract.

Our defending in the game at the Nou Camp was better than our defending at CP. Efe at his best was much better than Boyata at his best, and Efe was more consistent over longer periods until he went to absolute shampoo towards the end, you were just waiting on a mistake which is how I feel about Boyata now.

I’m still trying to deal with the thought that this guy is 27. I had his style of play put down to youthful exuberance.

It's the fact that he's 27 that is the clincher in my mind. If he was 21 you'd put the repeated mistakes down to youthful naivety and learning the game. But, at 27, he's never going to change.

Careful! Praising Efe can get you ridiculed on here. Unless you are one of thousands of Hibs fans who are ecstatic that we gave up on him.
