He played very well in the final and has done over the past few weeks. If this was his consistent form it'd be a no brainer and we'd try our best to keep him here for as long as possible. I'd still keep him though and you'd have to put (at least) Compper, Sviatchenko and Simunovic on the 'out' list before him.
I seem to remember Motherwell s best two chances came from his. Mistakes. In fact in the first half he got mugged by a wee back flip from a haddie that plays for Motherwell. Just because we got away with those mistakes doesn't mean he had a good game. Granted apart from that he did fine but do that against good teams and we lose two goals.

I think we should buy a centre half and not sell boyata.

I'd say that's what will happen, Jozo out and someone else with some good experience in, I think the manager denied it but someone like Fabian Schar. Boyata has got the ability, just not the consistency, hopefully that changes next season.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
He doesn't really and he isn't usually
I'm with Lubo and Wee Ed. He has been consistently reliable for a decent spell now, and I honestly can't see us finding anyone better. And BR seems to rate him, which is quite a relevant argument.
BR rated DDV and Hendry enough to sign them and put them into the first team so his judgement isn't totally bullet proof

It's not shifting five centre backs at all - its selling Boyata - that was my original point
He's not good enough, needs replaced.
As do others

The rest is just you getting a bit hysterical at the hypothetical loss of FIVE Defenders, four of whom are useless.

Any suggestions on CB's we could get that would see us progress further in Europe next year than we have with Boyata?

Always a winner
Boyata's good enough
For what?

Nainggolan not in that Belgium squad. They can have all the great players they want. There's no chance they're even getting close to winning the thing with that absolute diddy of a manager.
:rubeyes:

Total idiocy, he's a great player.
He is, but Belgium don't play with a ten. He'd be leaving someone who's a natural for his system to take him, so I can see where he's coming from.

He's taken Chadli instead as he can cover wingback.

Yep. Not taking Nainggolan is not going to make or break Belgium's World Cup. They have a phenomenal squad.

On paper there is none better. Pity for them games aren't played on paper. They won't win it.

Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Kompany, Vermaelen and Dendoncker are all ahead of him I would say and some of them don't even play centre back every week :lol: Think he's very much a last resort.

Vertonghen plays on the left of a back three for Spurs some weeks with Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez. Other weeks he's partnering one of the other two in the middle of defence.

Vermaelen, yeah, not as good as he once was, but I'd think he'd still be ahead of Boyata at a major tournament given his experience and playing a few games for Barca this season.

Kompany looked good for City this season when he was fit. Thought he had a really good season when he was out there. Getting him to play a full tournament if you go deep could be very tricky admittedly.

Dendoncker played for Anderlecht in our two games this season. Normally plays in midfield but can be shunted back when need be and has played there quite a lot. Quite highly thought of and constantly being linked with bigger clubs. Perhaps he wouldn't get in ahead of Boyata at CB to be fair.

I would say he's at least fourth choice tbh. Woukd still be an achievement to get in and go to the tournament, as some of the talent they have is frightening :lol:

Won't start and I don't think he'll even be in the squad. It's between him and Kabasele and I think Martinez will choose Kabasele.
