Guest bimpy474 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I love this policy of signing good lads, after having seen some the most arrogant players in past few seasons in the 40 years i've supported this club. Its just beautiful at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hopefully he's a bit of a prick on the pitch. Central midfield isn't really the place for the shy, retiring type. Tiote is basically the shy, retiring type off the pitch funnily enough. Yes, same with Cabaye, really. Both nice off the field but a mean streak on the field which really enhances their game.

Dave Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Promising stuff. Hopefully we'll see a bit more of our apparently talented youngsters this season with having the Europa League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Best of luck to the lad, he sounds like a good replacement for Guthrie and is obviously at 18 is a fantastic age to develop. Should hopefully see him getting a few games next season with such a hectic fixture list too. Also, is he regarded as an English player for squad registration? I take it he is since he's been here since he's been here since he's a bairn pretty much but I'm not 100%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yeah he is down as home-grown, but we won't have to register him until he's 22. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 If anyone watches the chat with him on NUFC TV, look at when they discuss Cheick and the bit of football shown, I was pissing myself, he holds no prisoners does old Cheick boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Promising signing but I'm getting eager now for some real first team additions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 This is a nice, positive signing like. Can certainly see him being groomed into a Tioté-esque player. Abeid may have been mentioned as a Tiote-type player in the past but now that I think about it, he may be more suited to a Cabaye-type role. Either way, think we now have our "proper" backup to Cheik - of course, Bigirimana will need time to settle in but I'm confident he'll be fine.

Ketsbaia Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Another nice personality at the club, it seems. Very pleased with this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Was at the Football League awards this season when he won 'Apprentice of the Year'. Came across as a real down to Earth guy, very humble and very religious (thanked God a few times if I remember rightly). If he can't make it as a player maybe he can at least put Nile Ranger back on the right track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Notorious signing Welcome to the Toon Gael. Really pleased with this signing, a young promising player who's here to learn his trade in a young talented squad. Excellent stuff. Doubt we'll even see him in the first team in the PL but the Cups might be the place for him to show his stuff. It's a big step up in class but hopefully he's got the right stuff about him. Now is it going to be Gael "the Force" Bigirimana, or Gael "the Beast" Bigirimana. EDIT: or the Notorious B.I.G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Plenty of youngsters start out like that. Then they get corrupted by greed and a burgeoning ego and end up hating the world Lets enjoy nice Bigi while it lasts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliassenfredrik Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Another Tiote. Yellow card-tastic I presume. Anyone actually seen him play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 He's supposed to be a composed ball player who's quite slight in stature and lacking in strength judging by a Cov fan's comments on another forum. Not a Tioté type Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Tbf, he's only 18 so he hasn't even finished growing yet, a couple of years bulking out in the Gym and he's going to be a beast. Excited about this kid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Replacement for Guthrie ? Never thought of that. Good - and young. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Know absolutely nothing about the lad, never seen or heard of him until we were linked a while back. It's encouraging that we've spotted him over and above the rest of them so someone's seen something there that's worth getting. The European campaign is going to add stress on the squad so it's nice that were drafting a few bodies in to replace the ones who've left. Just keep building the squad steadily, year on year on year. It's the right way to do things and they deserve time and patience to do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying hard not to get too excited, ah well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
