After just reading his interview on the Sentinel web page, it endorses my initial belief that we have signed not only a top player, but a top person. From his video piece with his girlfriend and all other interviews, he comes across as a person who just gets what Stoke is all about. He's a great captain, team player and motivator. Let's hope his influence and attitude rub onto others and he drives us onto bigger and brighter days.

Got even better recently too, and so young as well. Imagine how good he can be at 28/29 🤷🏻♂️

Agree
A leader at a very young age !
The arm band won’t being go back to Laurent or Baker.
Baker is playing well , let him play well .
Wouter has improved with responsibility, keep as captain.

I thought Jared and his laptop needed sacking though! We need to give them a season to gel together! It’s been 10 games and these new players are shit! I’m not sure on Burger after his first few games! Burgers the best player since Nzonzi! Rose is a pathetic defender! Rose puts in a colossal MOTM display! Honestly the oatcake, and any other fan forum I expect. Is fucking mental 😂 It shouldn’t be taken serious

Schumacher has already spent no time in bringing in two first teamers and ditching other signings. I'm sure there will be at leat two others joining before end of January. Championship clubs (or any EFL club really) do not have the luxury in giving players a season to gel. You end up being in deep trouble, which is exactly where we were with Neil. Players have to hit the ground running.

Players have to hit the ground running. Personally, I never thought we were in any danger. Yes they were playing poorly, but in regards to the players we brought in. I think they’ve all been good players tbh. I haven’t got the list but every player brought in I can see their use in the squad. Definitely we’ve been much better, but people calling the players shit back then I don’t understand myself. I could see players in all of them, just was a case of coaxing it out.

He's got a bit of the N'Zonzi about him and thats the biggest praise I can give a player In the way he plays yes, but off the pitch he seems nothing like NZonzi. Burger seems keen to understand the club and the fans, and sees it as part of his job.
NZonzi was amazing on the pitch but I don't think he had much interest in the club and I don't think he particularly wanted to be here, for him it was very much a job, which he did to a high standard - but I doubt he gave us much thought outside of his working hours, I could be wrong but that's the impression I got.

Just from a footballing perspective, and the off field stuff is nice but I primarily care out what theyre doing on a Saturday at 3 o'clock and Could never knock N'Zonzi in that aspect

I just hope he scores 4-5 more goals between now and the end of the season, it will drive up his sale value quite a bit.

The old adage. Live to work or work to live. I try not to give my work too much thought outside of working hours. Tbf I fail miserably but I know which approach I’d take if I had my time again. And it’s not the first one.

Thank god Neil got sacked, otherwise we may never have seen him bloom and hopefully become the player he could.

Has looked a different player under Schumacher and I’ve liked what I’ve seen in recent weeks.
Hopefully he improves at a decent rate where we can hold onto him a bit longer because I think this lad can easily play in the top leagues.
Nice to have young players with decent resale value for a change.

When was the last time we had a 22 year old that was so in touch with people? Let alone a player who had just arrived in the country!
Impressive, similar to Finn Aziz at Plymouth:

Loved when he said "And the fans, they scream us the 3 points, they scream us forward." Eloquently put.
