Celtic Manager Centre back Syndrome

Jack Hendry - this is a lad who was released by Wigan last year. He was deemed not good enough for a League 1 team. 1 yr later we buy him for over 1 million pound from a very poor Dundee team. That to me says it all. He is NOT the answer to our centre back issues

 

Hendry is defo a project at 24 in terms of the level he is now playing at, there’s scope for improvement, especially physically then he can be counted as a project. Hard to know how much better he will get or if he will ever be more than a squad player..

Some would argue Boyata has played so little in his career that he too has a lot to learn about his game. Unfortunately I can’t see him ever being the player we need to take us up a level..

It’s glaring we need quality in there.

 

He was with Wigan when they were in the Championship. I would say they never gave him a chance apart from a couple of sub appearances. I remember Barnet fans complaining as they released a 16 year old a contract and let him go, 2 months later Chelsea picked him up. Sometimes clubs just don't utilise or spot the talent. He may not be the answer, but I am not going to write him off as I think he has been fine so far, nothing stand out but no real mistakes. 23 is still a young age in football and I think he can improve.

 

Thats a good point. Maybe why we lose or draw the games where he takes part is because of this formation that doesn't work

 

No one said he is, but he’s got potential and is a good back up at least.
