:ph43r: Boyata going to the world cup ahead of Jason Denayer who would have thought that a few years ago
Wee lesson for our Jason there.
I'm not sure he will learn anything from this lesson. He probably thinks he's too good for Belgium.

Hopefully he can emulate Edson Braafheid and make it all the way to the final.

Weird that he's in that squad. Belgium are not exactly short of options at centre-back so surprised to see him make it. Anyone know what system Belgium usually use as it looks like they have 6 centre-backs and no full backs?

Hopefully it's an El-Hadji Diouf, Djemba-Djemba, Kleberson, Guivarc'h et al WC for him and gets us a nice fee but honestly can't see him getting a game, even when Kompany picks up an inevitable injury.

Kompany already has... but they've included him in the squad anyway.

I think Meunier of PSG is a right back, have seen Vermaelen and Vertonghen play LB and Alderweireld play RB also. Not sure if they play 3 CBs ? Squad is stacked with midfielders, only three out and out strikers.
Boyata is probably in there with the injury doubts over Kompany and to a lesser extent, Alderweireld who missed a big chunk of the season and Vermaelen who is injured a lot.

Recent line ups would suggest that Martinez definitely favours three at the back.

What if he has a stormer of a WC?
Would we want to keep him or sell him?
He's a very up/down type of player, infuriating & decent - sometimes even very good.

If he does well, I think we'd like to keep him, but that he'd like to leave.

Will he get much game time?

Squad player at Barcelona nowadays, seems to have the same sort of injury problems as Kompany.

No idea mate, he did play the majority of their last game after Kompany was injured.
No idea if that'll happen in the real games, when there's something at stake.

Fair play to the big diddy. They're not short of good options there.

If he has a stormer of a World Cup it should make Lawwell's job easier.

He should currently be working hard on getting us the highest possible price for a League-winning, Champions League-playing, World Cup defender.
