Dyeyzzon Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 ^Aye. First thing I did notice last night was how similar he was to Carrick. Spreads the play neatly to kick start attacks from the back. Not a destroyer at all, nor is he a Yaya Toure-style battering ram. He'll be a regular next year.

morpeth mag Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Thought his new hair style was good: and he played very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Enjoyed reading that .co.uk interview, refreshing attitude. Feet firmly on the ground and unwilling to take plaudits for himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The lad did great for a 19 yer old. Looked composed and assured. I was gutted when he went off as he was spreading the play great. If he had stayed on we would have run them very close. One for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Bloody love this kid. So mature on and off the pitch. We've really hit the jackpot here, should have cost us far more than we paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 He's not the finished article by any stretch of the imagination but he's ready to start games now imo. Arguably controlled long parts of games and distrubuted greatly against yanited and arsenal. We fell to pieces when pardew took him off in both games..... Sure theres a lot more to come but he can should imo start games now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 He's not always doing the right things but at the moment he is making less costly mistakes than Tiote. Until Cabaye is back I would have a 3 of Tiote, Anita and Bigi. When he and Ben Arfa come back we will need to reasses but Bigi has certainly given himself a chance. The only issue is the weakest link at the moment is the only real destroyer so Bigi may miss out to Marv and Cabaye (can't see Cisse/Ba being dropped).

Sure theres a lot more to come but he can should imo start games now Too many good teenagers are ruined by too many games or too many expectations. We should not be looking for him to be first choice for at least another two seasons in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think over the years it has been a big issue over playing ids, we have done it alot due to piss poor squad size, however I think Bigi is such a sorted together young lad its not as much of a worry. Still though we should not be risking his progress by piling on so much pressure onto his shoulders in a very low confidence squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 We do the complete opposite tbh, keep players in the youth/reserves until they are in their 20's then they fail to step up. Bigi won't be playing 50 games a season for us but every game he gets will help his development. If he is performing well there isn't a problem.

Skeletor Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This lad is definitely ready. As Ronaldo said before he's benefited from playing games in the Championship already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJerseyMag Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well with Tiote going to the ACoN he''ll get his chance. I think he'll do a decent job. Honestly, the way Tiote has been playing I wouldn't be too fussed if we cashed in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 He can play a bit. (Thought he'd a destroyer type of player solely.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 To be honest, I think we should be aiming for him to be a #1 starter by next season. If he continues his progress, he'll be ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Think the biggest plus about him is that, despite his age, he seems to have the physical strenght to play week in week out in the PL. The other young lads like Ferguson or Sammy don't seem to have that. Think he's ready to play a bigger role and really should be a regular first team starter next season.
