Different type of player. Anita is a defensive midfielder, bigi isn't.
Bigirimana is still young though so we could yet concentrate our efforts into developing him into a DM - certainly has the attributes to be one.
What's that based on?
Despite never seeing him play, I'm really keen to see him sign solely due to how it should allow the side to line up. The team that binnsy has posted above would be glorious to see.
Debuchy would obviously be first choice which sorts the biggest priority in the squad and also likely means Simpson moves on. Clyne is a free agent (granted he would command a fairly small fee at a tribunal) and can cover both fullback slots, ideal for our needs.

Hull City's friendly at Hartlepool on Sat 4th Aug is off. Unconfirmed but hearing a home friendly with Newcastle could replace it. #hcafc
Not sure why it's suddenly become a problem either, not seen anybody complain about it in the past and there are a lot of people who contribute to all sorts of bets in this thread.
It never used to have as much non-football discussion as its had recently. Far too often there's been several pages of discussion on horse betting, which really shouldn't be in the football section. When I come to this thread, I really don't want to trawl through pages and pages of horses, let's keep that and the tennis and golf and whatever to a separate thread and stick to the football in the football section.
Obviously I realise that it's not been a particularly popular decision, with eldiablo being the exception, so we'll just see how it goes I guess.
It's always been like that man. Especially during pre-season when there's very little football.
