John Bostock
John Bostock

Name:  John Bostock.jpg Views: 70 Size:  32.3 KB

Club: Crystal Palace
Position: Attacking Midfielder
Value: N/A
Contract: Not Protected
Age:15
Nationality: English
Languages: English
Reputation: Local
Personality: Balanced
Squad Status: Hot Prospect

In Real Life

Bostock won a place in the club's academy aged 7, beating off competition from 200 other candidates. He made his league debut on 29 October 2007 at the age of 15.
He has also captained England at Under-17 level and now Bostock has been named in the England U17 for a tournament including Italy northern Ireland and turkey. There has been a lot of talk about him leaving palace but apparently they aren’t going to sell for any amount of money. He has been nicknamed “the boy Barcelona can‘t afford”.

In Football Manager '08

Bostock’s stats aren’t great at the start but bear in mind that he is only 15!

Tactical Instructions

Your best playing this guy just behind your stiker/s. He sets up lots of goals and scores some to.

Strengths

Natural Fitness 15
Pace 14
Balance 14
Influence 14
Passing 13
Technique 13


Weakness's

Composure 2

Conclusion

I think that it would need to be a biggish team to lure him away from palace. You can approach to sign him and get him for 475K comp.

Bostock is another player that I've never bothered to sign but seen him do great things on the game.

I might actually sign him on my current save game now. Especially if they'e saying he's awesome at United.
