An 18 year-old struggling to get into a Championship side is nothing to be worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Going by MW's mate the whole Mackems hating Coventry thing is becoming clear..... they seem to be quite a like and very bitter I live near Coventry and most the of their fans I know can barely be bothered to go anymore. Been nothing but misery for them since they got relegated from the premiership and getting a new stadium on the outskirts of the city rather than in the center had an impact on attendances. Plus the fact they don't own the new stadium either. So nothing really positive for their fans going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have family in Coventry or nearby to be precise and have been told about all the problems they seem to be going through although i cant possibly understand it fully. I do understand how they feel they cant be bothered anymore but that is really what being a fan is all about sticking through it no matter the outcome. I'd like to see them back at the top level or atleast contending to be there at some point, i used to like them as a kid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I've seen the lad play around 9 times and these are the things I've noticed; he's an attacking midfielder, not a Tiote-type destroyer as he doesn't seem to possess the physical attributes needed for this role (has a tendency to mistime tackles as well). Not particularly speedy or strong , he does demonstrate good skills on the ball and is a very good passer. Obviously the lad has time on his side, but calls for him to be in the running for first-team football next season are a tad optimistic unless he significantly improves. Cool hair though, i'll give him that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I dont mean to go nuts or anything but the lad's attributes as a player more makes me think of Yaya Toure than Tiote or Essien if i'm honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'm no Nostradamus but I'll stick my neck out here and say he won't be as good as Essien and Yaya Toure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 A Coventry fan at a swedish forum wrote this about "Bigi" (just translated in google), very positive I would say, in contrast to this above. Congratulations on your purchase of Bigi greatest talent I have ever seen in Cov and I have been following them since 1986, English-A squad in 3 years. With the high quality that are around him in Newcastle, he would be able to go straight into the starting line-up ... so good is he, that was a bit worse with the quality around him in Cov and he was sometimes take a huge load. Funny is that he is extremely god fruity and pray on their knees in the center circle before and after each match, he got the award as the best apprentice in the championship blah for his contribution to children within the church, no tavern fights to be expected in other words .. a real hyvens boy;) good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 'god fruity' saw that. But I´m not even sure if the word he wrote in swedish is a word... but of course he means that he has a strong faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'm no Nostradamus but I'll stick my neck out here and say he won't be as good as Essien and Yaya Toure. I meant in style mate, we will be lucky if he's even half as good as them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen him play? No just the way people have speaking about him.... his style sounds more like Toure than Essien or Tiote.... not for one second he will be anywhere near as good as any of them but in style his game seems to represent more of Yaya than any other big name player i can think of.

TRC Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 My Coventry mate just said "he's sick mate" I take that as a good player rather than not very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Not as eloquent as the last post, but another Cov fan on a different forum wrote: "He's a composed ball player, very much someone who looks to keep possession and 'dictate the tempo'. He's pretty short and lacking in strength and is still very raw in places but he's got very good technical talent and can play in any position really though he is a CM. He's got a great attitude and is a very hard worker, is always smiling and everyone claims he's really hard not to like and he's a devout Christian who does lots of work in the community. He needs a fair bit of polishing and I don't think he's near good enough to start in the prem yet but he's very much a diamond in the rough.
