I know nothing about this lad and am neither enthused nor disappointed by the notion of us buying him.
Let’s see how he’s getting on for a few games before making judgment.

'Wout in the middle with Ben (or Josh? Or Jord?' gets the pulse racing doesn't it. Actually Ben in the middle with Wout sounds better. |

We're still signing Zigic don't ya know!!! 😏 . . . . . and I have it on good authority that Lee Trundle has been trudging through the housing market in Trentham. A bit of additional information, Terry Henfleet has asked for a move from Sheffield Wednesday and Mrs Henfleet likes the look of a little 2 up 2 down in Normacot. 🤣 Trundle must own half of Trentham by now!!! 🤔 |

Not sure how good this data is but it looks like he’s: 1) good at running with the ball 2) not that good at linking up play 3) crap defensively fbref.com/en/players/55b7061a/Eric-BocatMaybe that will work nicely with Gibson, who is supposed to be decent defensively and a decent passer. |

Just bumped into Eric on Plymouth Hoe. He says Stoke have been fucking him about for nearly 2 months now so he’s considering an offer from Plymouth Argyle. Says his mate James Vardie is in advanced talks for a one year deal at Stoke.

He looks like another player who seems to enjoy carrying the ball forwards from the back and running with the ball. fbref.com/en/players/55b7061a/Eric-BocatPresumably it's something that Schumacher is keen on? In contrast, our players hardly ever ran with the ball under Neil. |

He doesn’t seem a traditional full back but until he’s played a few games we won’t know what his defensive qualities are like. |

I agree with 1 and 2, but not with 3. For someone who is predominantly a wing back, his defensive stats are pretty good. From what I can see, he has a superb work rate in terms of ball retention, is decent in the tackle, very good at intercepting the ball, and excellent at blocks. |

Sounds similar to Ian Maatson fast but flaky? Possibly Offers plenty going forward but prone to defensive lapses Didnt do Burnley any harm 2 seasons back though granted EB not at Maatsons level yet |

Young, left-footed, fairly quick, better at going forward than defending.
Sounds like Tymon.

www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Mercato-piste-par-des-clubs-de-ligue-1-eric-bocat-saint-trond-va-s-engager-a-stoke-city/1476696Transfer window: tracked by Ligue 1 clubs, Eric Bocat (Saint-Trond) will join Stoke City Tracked by several French clubs, including Nantes, OM and Rennes, Eric Bocat will finally fly to England. The full-back who played for LOSC should sign with Stoke City in the Championship on Monday. After a top-level season in Belgium, Eric Bocat will leave Saint-Trond. The left-footed defender will undergo his medical at Stoke City on Monday. The Championship club paid around €1.5 million (and €500,000 in bonuses) to secure the services of the 24-year-old French defender for the next four years Bocat's ultimate goal remains the Premier League, which he believes he can achieve at Stoke, an ambitious club owned by Denise Coates, the English billionaire who heads the sports betting company Bet365. This prospect tipped the balance, while several French clubs had shown interest in this player who had been with Lille (one appearance in 2019-2020). Rennes and OM had offered him a role as a backup, while Nantes had made an oral contractual offer, before the price asked by Saint-Trond cooled the directors. A written offer had also come from a Bundesliga club.
