For all the centre halfs Celtic have I rate none of them. Neither Erik, Jozo or Boyata. There isn't one of them who can put his head on the ball when whipped into the box. Why can Scotland no longer produce a Billy McNeil, McLeish, Gough or find a Paul Elliot, Alan Stubbs or Mick McCarthy. Somebody that can come and attack the ball and clear his lines as those named could. Paul Eliot was the besf centre half I've seen at Celtic Park. Miller and McLeish were a fantastic defensive partnership. I remember waiting to see if Gough ran out for Rangers because when he played they played. So what's wrong now? Why do we appear to be unable to feckn knit ourselves a decent centre half? ☘ï¸.

To be fair to boyata he scored about 5 headers last season and is by far our best player when attacking a ball.

I agree with you about the centre halfs. I think we need 2 solid centre halfs if we have any ambition for Europe. I would also try for a new goalkeeper someone like Danny Ward from Liverpool. And finalise a deal for Roberts if we can but I would prioritise the centre halfs.

I don't think anyone needs another Gough thank you.

I think we're jumping a bit here with the whole centre half thing. Have Boyata and Jozo even played a competetive game together this season? They're the two that seen off an unbeaten, treble winning season. I'd be happy enough seeing the pair of them, fully fit, playing together in Europe (they're definitely good enough for the league) . And they deserve it. Boyata seems to get a bit of stick. The "bomb-scare". He's immense in the air. Physically, is there. On the ball, he's no maraurder, but is good enough for me. I just think he needs to be playing to gain the experience that is required at his age to fine tune his game. Jozo is still young, should be pardoned for any errors and is a great prospect.

boyata showed in the cup final that he's a nervous wreck.
