Surely this would mean Thompson would be bun’d off.

Jokes aside a 6’4 unit at defensive mid and not being reliant on Pearson alone makes me very happy. He is extremely powerful and uses his height very well from what i have seen of hm live but also is extremely good with the ball at his feet. Breaking through the line and advancing up the pitch with a very good passing range....would be a very very good signing if we can pull this off. Mountain of a midfielder!

We need to sign him to beef up our attacking options.

I'll be upset if he's never had any midfield partners called 'De Fries' or 'Bunn'

If he plays alongside Pearson in a 4-2-3-1 and Ben’s nickname isn’t “Fries” by the end of August the games gone….

He’s played at CB and is more defensive. He’s exactly what we need. I’m all for it although in the analysis above it states he’s best deployed in the number 8 role. Anyway it was a joke, difficult to distinguish I know😉 Oh I know it was but I’ve been hoping this one was true for the last 2/3 days. He seem way too good for us. And will be able to stand in for Pearson.

This is foreign midfielder I was hinting to on the transfer thread. FM can verify. Are you not working for stoke city yet

Just called a Feyenoord mate of mine and told him about this….. a top young talent were his words. He’s a tall lad but just keeps it simple in the middle of the park - control and lay it off…., along the lines of Nzonzi That’s what I like to hear….!

Seen him play a few times for Basel last season, including in Europe. This is a very good description and he also does have that surging run or pass in his locker too

Funnily enough I live in Basel, studying my MA here, whilst still going to most stoke games. Saw a few of their games last season and the conference league Semi Final. Whilst the overall team is nothing compared to what they have been in previous years...Burger is someone that really stood out to me. Real presence in the midfield! You are now our Wouter Burger correspondent your opinion now rules👍

He played FC Basel's first couple of games of the season but was not included at the weekend (they describe him as being hurt, not injured like the other absentees). Also does not look like he is in the squad that left earlier to fly out for the second leg of their European game...
Interesting....

Based upon what's been said he sounds ideal.
Based upon what's happened with our other foreign signings, I expect him to put pen to paper in the next nine seconds.
