Dedryck Boyata - The next Vinny Kompany

[Blue Haze]

He should play at fullback until he gets more experience for CB.

Seems to have all the tools, mostly pace and toughness.

Forgive me if I missed it, but amongst all the excitement about Sunday's game I haven't seen much mention of Boyata's performacne. I thought he was outstanding. Every time I see this lad I see more and more ability. He's quick - and I like my centre halves quick. He's strong and good in the air. But what surprised me seeing him at fullback was that he is good on the ball too. He got forward well and his distribution was good.

I think this lad's got it all. He reminds me a lot of Micah when he was breaking into our team. If the Arsenal cockup set him back, then he looks well on his way again now.

I think he's going all the way to the top and I believe he'll be first choice centre half very soon, possibly next season. Great to see another Academy product breaking through even with our quality squad.

I said the other day he should man mark Hernandez in the semi final,I think he'd be well up to the job.

Please no.
