Was hoping he'd be for the off but if we've nothing to bring in we'll obviously need him. Too error prone for my liking. |

Thats gives me the fear - sign him up and he IS our best defender..... He is most certainly not a solid Celtic defender for me. Edited by littlegmbhoy, 17 May 2018, 12:41 PM.

Our problem is simple. We have developing CB's who need an experienced player to talk them through games. Our transfer policy was slackened to by Commper, but I'm not sure he is a real person. |

We could potentially have a lot of personnel turnover this season. Boyata isn't going to get better but it might not be a bad idea to keep him here and settled in the name of continuity. |

He has played well last 3/4 games but therein lies the issue....he then goes onto make mistakes and costs us goals in to many a game. |

KT aside, I'd be happy not to see anyone of our regular back 4 again. To be fair to Boyata, he isn't the worst culprit. I just always look at him and think he's an accident waiting to happen. If we have any designs on making progress in Europe, we surely have to upgrade. |

We're going to need much better, the Hun's will have Solanke (sp), Torres, McArthur, Arfield & Skrtel & that's just for starters! Boyata has been better recently, if he keeps it up fair enough, but I am scared of him -& Gordon floofing about. |

I've seen him make plenty of good passes forward, out to Sinclair on the wing etc. and inch perfect at times so the broad statement that he cannae pass is wrong. He does sometimes pass straight to the opposition though so it's his decision making that's suspect. A better footballer wouldn't let themselves get into the position where a forward is able to pressure them so much and invite him to make those unforced errors. |

Hes a good defender. All defenders make mistakes. Look at Atleticos first goal last night. I'm sure if you look over the later CL and Europa games you will see much higher rated and more expensive defenders screw up a few times. I for one would be happy to have him sign an extension. |

Boyata might currently be our best central defender but for me that’s a clear indication of where we are in that area of the team and it’s hardly inspirational. We need better. |

We could use better keepers, midfielders and strikers as well however we are never going to exceed a certain level and I think that Boyata is not that far from the upper limits of our level. |

I know you’re his biggest supporter mate, but Boyata isn’t a good centre back. He’s too error prone and he gives me the fear going in to the Champions League qualifiers next season. |

Mate, I would imagine at least a few lower EPL teams will be interested. If not then plenty of Championship teams. He has played under pressure plenty of times and done well. I have a feeling he will leave. Let's see. |

I'm sure Van Dijk was playing here 3 years ago. |

Agreed, however I suspect that to sign someone at van Dijk's level today you'd need to shell out significantly more than the £2.6m we allegedly paid for him. If true, we paid £1m for Marvin.

He's been really good lately. Rodgers clearly rates him and he is capable of big performances so not a bad thing, though his next big mistake is never far away. |
