It will be a goalie, defender, midfielder, or attacker, hopefully.

SIGNING: Coventry City can confirm the signing of Gael Bigirimana from Championship side Newcastle United
Fri 26 Aug 2016 16:50

The Sky Blues make Gael Bigirimana their latest summer recruit as he joins from the Magpies on a season-long deal...

Coventry City have re-signed Newcastle United midfielder Gael Bigirimana on a permanent transfer until the end of the season.

The Sky Blues have snapped up the 22-year old to add depth to the midfield as the former City Academy graduate returns to the club.

Bigirimana began his career at the club's Academy and signed his first professional deal with the Sky Blues in June 2011, making his professional debut on the opening day of the 2011/12 season against Leicester City.

'Bigi’, as he’s more commonly known, impressed during the 2011/12 campaign, making 26 league appearances, with then-Premier League side Newcastle United signing him for an undisclosed fee in July 2012.

He spent the majority of the 2015/16 campaign on loan in the West Midlands and has now made the move permanent, as he takes the #5 shirt at the club.

City boss Tony Mowbray said: "I'm looking forward to working with Gael again and I'm sure he'll add a valuable option to our midfield third.

"We're in an extremely busy period of fixtures so it is important we have depth in key areas. We know from last season the quality Gael can offer to the squad and I think he is pleased to be back in the West Midlands.

"Gael is still young, but having married in the summer and moving back ‘home’, I think we have signed a more mature and focused footballer. I am sure he can rediscover the form that made him such a popular player in his first spell and the club.”

Oh deep joy

oucho · Aug 26, 2016

Oh God..........

Ian1779 · Aug 26, 2016

So we got a player for free that we sold for a million before? Not the worst bit of business in the world.

chiefdave · Aug 26, 2016

Can someone remove any sharp objects close to Grendel.

ajsccfc · Aug 26, 2016

Bigi Bigi Bigi, can't you see
Grendel's about to commit harakiri

Sky Blue Kid · Aug 26, 2016

Ah well! There we are then.... If you're not Welsh I doubt you'll get it.

WONDERLAMPS · Aug 26, 2016

Well, he's not bad as a squad player I guess.

eastwoodsdustman · Aug 26, 2016

I'm happy with this. With Rose (i know he played as a wing back) out for a while we needed another midfielder in.442 here we come!

christonabike · Aug 26, 2016

Permanent transfer until end of season then it says its a season long loan? Im lost......

He's been handed the number 5 shirt...he isn't a squad player!

hill83 · Aug 26, 2016

Not too bad. Won't go down well with a lot of people but a decent squad player who in time will hopefully improve.

tbh, I don't mind him coming in for Vlad for a few games

Grendel · Aug 26, 2016

It's not a surprise I said we were signing him it was always when not if. He's costing nothing and being paid up by Newcastle.

Numbers don't really mean much these days. Plus every player is a squad player really.

Pipehitterz · Aug 26, 2016

Anyone that isn't pleased must be fucking stupid
Quality signing I'm a position we desperately needed Filling
Plays many positions too.
Pleased with that

Badly written but maybe he's on loan this season as he's still under contract with Newcastle and they don't want to have to pay him off?

Nick · Aug 26, 2016

I'd guess he will come back on a free next year.

Again, still be a fresh start and will judge him as a new player.

I'm sure we are the envy of every league one club to attract such quality.

Boo hoo. There is a decent player in Bigi it just needs nurturing. Clowns like you won't help.

The truth is though if he hadn't been handed a deal by someone near to coventry he'd have given up playing.

We are not short of midfielders so it's not that smart a signing. It was agreed ages ago.

Then at least there's some up-side the benefit of signing Bigi....
