I refuse to judge any player on the performances of last season. The team was utterly shapeless, with a manager incapable of making logical changes when needed.
Think of his goals from set - pieces, be positive.
I think Boyata would be OK in a settled partnership, and a midfield giving a bit of protection to the back four.
The team being shampoo doesn't make him constantly pass the ball to the opposition. Him being shampoo does that.
Fact.
I would encourage anyone considering the prospect of suffering Boyata for a second season at Celtic under BR to go back and watch that game against sevco.
A nice lad in my experience of dealing with him, but a player utterly incapable of wearing our jersey, and Marc Wilmots can suck a effing fart if he disagrees with that. Punt, in case it wasn't clear already.

We were spoiled the previous year with Denayer and Virgil, probably the best pairing in years. A decent organized midfield, with someone making themselves available to receive the ball instead of hiding out there would simplify matters. Boyata mightn't be the most gifted with the ball at his feet but his physicality should not be ignored. Let's have another look at him and then decide.

He's a player you could almost bet on to make a carrot of it at some point.

For me, that's not a trait you want in a centre half.

He is a total bombscare who fails to learn by his mistakes.
At least once a game he passes the ball square across our back four
and gives the striker at least a chance of an interception. Both Ambrose and Boyata should be nowhere near our back four in the coming season. We will continue to leak daft goals on a regular basis if they are.

Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata has been dubbed “too nice” by Belgium boss Marc Wilmots, despite landing a spot in his squad for Euro 2016.

The 25-year-old, who boasts two caps for the full national side, has been named in the final party for the summer showpiece in France, with the Red Devils manager lauding his technique and speed.

Nevertheless, Wilmots wants to see him unleash his aggressive side and strike fear into the hearts of opposition strikers.

“Dedryck is someone I have followed for many years and he enjoyed a fantastic season at Celtic – after getting regular first-team football, he did not disappoint.

“He is technically superb, he is fast and is an excellent passer of the ball, so there is no doubt about his quality.

“But sometimes he is a little too nice for my liking! I love to see my central defenders cause a bit of fear for the other teams’ strikers.”

Boyata, meanwhile, admits he feared his dream of representing the Red Devils in France was over after he limped out of Celtic’s Scottish Cup semi-final defeat against Rangers with a hamstring strain.

He was replaced by Erik Sviatchenko after just 25 minutes at Hampden and has not kicked a ball since.

Nevertheless, he fought his way back in time for the summer showpiece and Wilmots has kept faith with the rusty stopper.

Boyata said: “Euro 2016 was the goal for me and I have worked so hard for it all season. This is a reward for that. When I was injured I was afraid that I would miss the tournament, but everything is looking positive now.

“I have had a very long season and played more games that I ever have before, so I have learned a lot, improved and I am ready for the competition.”

Way off the mark describing his performances for us but he's correct in terms of him being too nice. Gets bullied most weeks by guys half his size.

I thought there was a player in there but his passing is not great and he's bullied off the ball far too easily. Doesn't have the swagger or confidence for a good centre half.

Thought he could have come good and was willing to give him another chance

Until the hun semi final - he should have been chased after that. Ridiculous

This. The guy's worse than Ambrose. I'd be worried if he's a first pick in defence next season.

"Technically superb"? Bloody hell Wilmots. The guy makes Bobo look like Lubo. Not good enough for a team who dominate possession in 75% of their games and looks unlikely to ever go more than 5-6 games without a howler.

Kompany is out.
Leaves them with only Vertongen, Alderweireld, Vermaelen, Denayer..

Just from the last decade we've had plenty of centre halves who are worse than Ambrose or Boyata.

Thompson, Loovens, Caldwell, Rogne, Mouyokolo, Blackett, Gershon, Hooiveld, Virgo, Du Wei - there's 10 for a start.

The lack of first team football before he signed for us has ruined the lads career imo. His performances would be acceptable if he was a 19 or 20 year old because you could put the mistakes down to him still being on a learning curve. At the age of 25 though most of those mistakes should have been ironed out.

Caldwell was better for Celtic than either, Loovens probably was as well. Gershon and Blackett played at Left Back for us. Du Wei was over a decade ago.

Not Loovens, the heartless coward.
