There is a reason why Bigirimana has featured in the first team already at St.James’ Park, as well as injuries creating opportunities he is clearly our best younger player and looks a knocking bet to play top level football.
If you take away Cisse, Ba, Cabaye and Ben Arfa then you would struggle to see where the next goal would be coming from and so a player creating and scoring goals could push through.
Final word goes to Sir Richard Branson who is clearly no football fan but comes across as a really good sport, when commenting on recent matches he mentioned how great it was that Newcastle had beaten Manchester three love!!
With Obertan likely to be missing for a month, is this a chance for Shane Ferguson.
A possibility could be Jonas moving to the right against Manchester United and Ferguson coming in on the left. That would be my preference ahead of Sammy Ameobi.
