Soon as Big came on he was pushed over and won a free kick, his first touch he passes it to a Gillingham player...
I want to like the lad, but I just can't.
I think we're all being a bit too harsh on the lad.
Granted he put in a poor performance for his 20 minute or so cameo at the weekend, but I think we're forgetting this would have been his first competitive game for the best part of 2/3 years.
We all thought he was a gem when he was with us in the Championship. I, for one, was not too surprised he was snapped up early by a relatively big Premier League club.
He'll come good - trust me.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before but the fact that bigi came on ahead of lameires yesterday makes me wonder whether we've had to agree as part of keeping Armstrong to put bigi in the shop window.
Newcastle must be looking to recoup some of the money they frankly wasted on him and selling him now as a failure with no game time is going to be less fruitful than trying to sell him as a player that has helped make Coventry a successful side.
This is going to sound harsh but he's not good enough for top league 1. He seems like a lovely lad and the romantisists bought into his Hollywood story but the truth is he's not a good footballer and I don't think TM would've signed him unless it's a favour to Newcastle for AA. Felt sorry for RL after a good performance last week.
I think that Bigi is a space alien and that the US Government have insisted that he plays to avoid an inter-galactic war.
He was off the pace because of the lack of game time over the last two years, he is quality and when he has more games he will prove that
I don't get all the bigi haters, the kids not played competitive football in over a year and they are all over the lad because he had a mare. It will always be the case of him having to find his touch again. I will be honest and say I only watched the kid live once, opening game v Leicester 2011 and I was so impressed with him, had a great engine, put his foot in when needed, touch looked a cut above and his passing was superb. And I also remember people raving about him on the forums, has everybody got short term memory or was I imagining all that?

That's my point, I think he was special. Forget the praying on the pitch nonsense and the hype that surrounded him back then. I made a purposeful effort to watch him that day based on the hyperbole I'de read on here and gmk and I was very impressed . Granted that was just one game and people have seen him a lot more than I have but I saw enough to know there is a player there.It could be that people get carried away when someone has 20 odd decent games in a struggling City side. It's easy to forget them pretty quickly when they weren't actually that fantastic.
