John Bostock

[Heffing Psycho!]

Probably should have a thread I assume it doesn't need a BUPA because it has a source? Reportedly made contact with Toulouse regarding him: https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport...ential-3117103


27 year old English centre midfielder, 6'2, left footed.

Currently at Toulouse but seems to have had an iffy debut season since joining last summer after spells in Belgium, France and Turkey plus a string of EFL loans. https://www.transfermarkt.com/john-b.../spieler/58097




A short mini-doc/ interview about his career to date:

[Advert Break]

[Dogtits]

Any good?

[MASE]

Dont know much about him, but he's been sat at a very average level playing precious little football.

think we've got enough in front of the DM, this lad doesnt look like the banker we need in the deep lying position.

[Heffing Psycho!]

Any good?

Not seen a lot of him on his European adventure but he was supposed to be the next Gazza as a kid and had his pick of clubs when he left Palace as a 16 year old, went to Spurs and got loaned all over the place for years before deciding he'd had enough and moved to Antwerp in Belgium.

Good dribbler and passer and comfortable on the ball too, think he could play the deep role well. I'd be happy to see us take a punt on him if Toulouse are happy to move him on could be good business.

That bottom video is a quality interview. Seems to have been through a lot but is finally settled. Under the right manager and set up he could really be a success.

If the transfer rumours are true and Osborn and Guedioura are on their way out then we've got Semedo, Silva, Yates and Yacob for two positions which require an energetic, box-to-box sort sort of game.

So I'd suggest if anything it's the opposite, we're in greater need of another CM than a DM.

[Ravi]

Judging by that video, his vision, accuracy and range of passing is of the highest quality by Championship standards. He also keeps the ball well. If he can also defend he’s exactly what we need.

[Notcher]

His style is quite similar to Andros Townsend, I'd be delighted with that

That video was less than three and a half minutes long with a load of moody looks at the beginning and outro music at the end.

I reckon I could make Silenzi or Cummings look top notch with some decent editing.

He's hardly set the world alight in any of the inferior leagues he's played in, has he?

If he's dirt cheap then it could be a sensible option, but I won't be putting too much faith in a couple of Youtube videos to show me his potential.

[Notcher]

Don't know about his overall game but he could find Madeline McCann with a pass

No of course not. I did acknowledge that I was watching the video, but you can tell if a player has good technique and can pick a pass.

[T.O.Tricky.]

Wasn't overly impressed when he was at Toronto FC but that was ages ago, sounds like he's matured since then.

[Green Jumper]

Bostock is a very average player and highly unlikely to be on the radar.

I see Sarah is still getting exclusive scoops

[valspoodle]

We really need a transfer, either in or out.

We're going into overdrive trying to find the perfect bloke who can do everything we want whilst costing nothing.

[BryanRoy]

Whilst you look at the player and you see ability I do have reservations about his reliability.

I think for the regista we need some reliability in performance and the human being as well.

I know it sounds harsh on Bostock. New person and all with age and maturity but so far his career suggests a massive risk if we went for him in probably our role we need most reliability in under Lamouchi.

Saying that, I think it is agent talk anyway.

Just in response to this ‘hardly set the world alight’ section, he has absolutely battered a couple of seasons in the second divisions in Belgium and France. With OH Leuven he got 16 assists in his first season and 19 assists/13 goals in his second season winning the division player of the season award.

He was Ligue 2 player of the season in his first season with Lens, then moved to Bursapor where he didnt do too badly then Toulouse where he’s had another bit of a falter.

If Lamouchi thinks he can get the best from him, then I back it.

Just throw in his England age group appearances and you have the definition of a bang average player.

Lamouchi will have heard of him, but won't rate him.

He’s found god hasn’t he? Settled with a family. You’d think he has matured since he was -admittedly- a bit of a cock as a young lad.

How on earth would you know this?

Sky Sports?

[TommyT]

Sky Sports?

Lamouchi said he doesn't rate Bostock on Sky? Fair enough

[Cortez the Killer]

Lamouchi said he doesn't rate Bostock on Sky? Fair enough

He said he's average on FM so he was passing on him.

Nah!. Just another Ravel Morrison or Lewis Mcgugan.
Shows bags of talent early in career but doesn't progress to levels expected,
because they're not hungry enough & expect it to just fall in ther lap
so they end up pissing there career up a wall.

[Raymondo Ponte']

More chance a John Smiths.
