Boyata was our best defender in last year's Europa league campaign by some margin - his stats were excellent. He's a good defender, clears his lines. I don't get this 'bombscare' stuff at all. Is it because he had a poor game against *Rangers? Practically every Celtic player on the park that day was dreadful.
Best defender in an epic failure of a campaign isn't exactly saying much.
And it was KT.
Toure only joined us this season?

That is the biggest load of nonsense i've read in a long time, Boyata was absolutely brutal at timea in the Europa campaign, he can't pass a football and when our game plan revolved around the CB taking the ball out of defence he was a major liability, I have no idea if you go to games or not but if you did you'd have seen within 5 games last year every opposition player marked our defenders with the exception of Boyata, knowing he would then be given the ball to carry out of defence, when the opposition force you into that you know you'vr got a donkey.

Forget his performance in the hun game, the damage was done with this big waste of space months and months before that, if we could get shot of him with only a moderate hit then we'd have won a watch

if you'd bothered to read my post properly, you'll see I was referring to his stats. If you believe stats are a nonsense, then fair enough. :thumbsup:

Unfortunately, I'm unable to attend the games in person. I watch them on Celtic TV. Does that count?

He played in the under 20's yesterday against Killie.
Played a ball across his 18 yard box under no pressure - straight to their striker, who duly scored.

Boyata is a total donkey - nothing more needs to be said. Guy should be punted ASAP.
Who will take him? Same goes for Ambrose.

Our only hope is some mental Chinese club comes in for them.

I remember saying he was the worst passer of a ball I've seen in my life. Including at amateur level. I take that back; he's much worse than that.

He's an absolute dumpling. If Lawwell can get good money for him and Ambrose, then I won't say anything about his bonus this year.

That in itself would justify a bonus. I'd rather we just paid Ambrose up and released him so he cannot do any more damage.

Jaap Stam just signed Tyler Blackett, let's give him a call! :thumbsup:

Btw, what kind of salary is this haddie on? Signed from Man City for about £1m, therefore are we talking about £15k-£20k per week?

I don't know, but in searching for that information, I found this gem, which he said in reference to himself:

'Celtic are getting a strong defender who is quick and who has ability on the ball'

:ffs:

This Daily Mail article reckons he was on £35k pw at Man City :ph43r:

He is rank...a ball playing centre half who cannot pass the ball...

Not for us. Pistol Pete and his son at Man City's idea to get him up here...

Honking.

He's got the positional sense of a fart in a wind tunnel and can't pass the length of himself.
He's a decent defender. His passing needs work. Chances are he'll be surplus to requirements if Simunovic ever gets fit.
He's not a decent defender. His passing needs work, his defending needs work, his positional sense needs work. Almost every game I seen him play last season he was rotten.

If Rodgers can somehow turn him into a player then that would be amazing but based on last season, I don't see much for Rodgers to work with.

Well, I think he's not half as bad others believe (passing needs work, but defends quite well). All about opinions.....

For what it's worth, I don't think he's Rodgers' type of player. If he stays, he'd be fourth/ fifth choice after Kolo, Erik, Simunovic and maybe O'Connell. I'm not convinced by Simunovic, tbh. Not seen enough to truly judge him, but not particularly impressed so far.

Sold?

Would be paying him out his contract just to get him out the door sooner.
