Mick Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Can't believe he got a booking for that tackle, it was brilliant. I thought that the ref was going to book the lad who tried to take an advantage from the drop ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Think when people say he's more advanced than other plays his age at NUFC, it's only to be expected given he's had way more first-team experience in the championship. Had he been with us since he was 14 or whatever, I doubt he'd have the confidence yet to play the way he's doing. Great lad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 He really is good, very excited for his future. And glad he's getting so much first team experience at a good level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Tav will have had similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 To be in contention for a first team start for us, at his age, is astonishing. I would have absolutely no fear playing him in the league against decent sides. Bravo to the scouting team once more, how much was he again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 28 I think Cajun. He won apprentice of the year in the championship so I imagine a lot of those were starts. It's more than any of our other academy players have had consecutively. Most of them have ha loans where they were played as subs or just for a month or so. Think playing a lot is really important, Tav has had that more than the others but he's probably closest to the team after Bigi. As for Sammy, he has the most talent by a long way I just hope he can show it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Was there even any competition for him? Didn't see him linked with anyone else. Normally with a 'wonderkid' there's a load of hype and teams linked. I'd never even heard of him until we were first linked. Brilliant find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never seen anything in the press about him being wanted elsewhere, strange really its not like he was playing abroad in some nowhere league. Carr's magic eye works again.

Lush Vlad Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 He's not 18 surely?! He plays well beyond his years. Doing my best not to get too excited and hype him up, but fuck me, it's difficult when he keeps playing like this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Let's not get over-excited, bit much to call him a wunderkid I feel, not that I'm not really impressed so far but haven't seen him properly tested playing DM against a team that are going to be much more physically challenging. Compare him to another young DM Frimpong tho and he's got such a cool head it seems. Think he's going to be a fantastic player for us, as imo being a deep midfielder with responsibility to get the ball and pass it on, mentality is half the battle, he doesn't seem to panic, just cooly pass the ball, often forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 We've done quite well out of Coventry, really. First Best, now Bigi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Is it just me or does he look more suited to a central midfield role in English football than Anita? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 judging off the little i've seen of the two this season, most definitely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yeah I think anita should really be our starting rightback. Also I though Bigi's set plays looked decent better than most of the dross we see from cabaye in terms of corners where he always hits the first man. One thing I thought of last night as well was if Bigis corner had gone in when the keeper tipped it over, it wouldnt have counted as corners are indirect correct?

One thing I thought of last night as well was if Bigis corner had gone in when the keeper tipped it over, it wouldnt have counted as corners are indirect correct? Unless they've change the rules you can score from a corner. I remember seeing it happen once or twice. A quick google backs me up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 You can score from a corner. Thieryy Henry scored one for the New York Energy Drinks the other night and I remember Carlos soring one (in Turkey I think). As for Bigi's set pieces, can't agree. He just lofted them up and they were absolutely woeful against Atromitos. Last night, they really struggled from set pieces. If we had someone like Marveaux on to whip them in, we could have nicked a goal or two from them I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Decent player already, this lad. Hope he becomes a top player in time. Definitely the most assured looking of the younguns/reserves. Just looks like he knows what he's doing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 This lad is a class act in the making. I would have no worries playing him reguarly in the first team now if tiote/anita were injured. Love his style of play and his attitude seems top draw.
