He looked like he was starting to find his stride towards the end of last season. If he start's in that vein and can keep improving he could yet prove to be a good piece of astute business.

Only thing I am curious about us that bigi didn't even make the match day squad last season on occasions, so can't see TM as having signed him as a 1st team regular

I'm sure I'm not alone when I saw this announced and my first thought was 'Grendel'.

No it's a very strange arrangement and mowbrays remarks are even stranger.

He'll add some competition. I think he showed spells last season, he just needs confidence. It's no risk he's only signed until the end of the season

To be honest the only surprise is it's taken that long. It was a done deal before last season ended.

are you still calling for him to go, as you were at the low point of our slump last year?

Disappointed by this. Not the player we need, is neither a hard man midfielder, nor a rightback and definitely not a right wingback. He isn't going to get the 40-46 starts he needs to develop and now will likely see Stevensons development hindered as he will become the first alternative in the midfield 2. We need a few leaders, experienced 27-28 year olds.

Maddison leaving and then being loaned back played a part in that as well as we ended up with too many loan players.

Nope. We got Bigi

Sure he has ability somewhere, although not sure everyone will agree. Just not sure how far we are going to have to dig to find it!

Me too Otis, I bet it's pretty hard to find two ladyboys in Norwich but I'll give it a go

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

Come on grendel fess up who else is signing? Your obviously on the inside somewhere with that kind of info!

Having seen McCann and Gadzev at Norwich the other night I wouldn't be surprised if Bigi starts ahead of one of them. They have to do better than they did in that game.

It was arranged ages ago.

Decent signing especially with all our current injuries , I know he's not everyone's favourite player but he was decent for us in the past .Lets see what happens

Oh FFS ,it's Bigi, I'm seriously worried about Mowbray sanity.
Just the player we didn't want, has any of us seen him have two consecutive good games, his passing is fantastic, to the other team, his tackling is erratic and he pounces around like he's got terminal piles.

Well we all knew it was coming so we have to put up with him, no other fucker showed any interest in taking him, not even teams like Barnet and Exeter , but TM has faith in him somehow.
Still have to support him whilst he wears the shirt, and yes after this news I'm still going to find some ladyboys in Norwich.

Mogga "Hi Rafa, how's it going up in Newcastle? You must be enjoying the local tapas on offer. Quick question but I hear Arma is being loaned out and we would like him back at Coventry. Gives me another body over the line down at Ryton. We can't afford to pay and wages or a fee, so is it a deal Rafs?"

Rafa "Hi Tony, I'm good thanks. Few issues being a champions league winning manager in the Championship but it's fine. Tapas isn't as good as in Madrid. Sorry that's an awful offer for Arma. We will probably send him to Sheffield Untited to annoy Coventry fans. I do have a fella who we are trying to offload and we will pay you to have him. His name is Bigi."

Mogga "that's good for the budget Venus has set me. Done deal. Thanks very much. I'm not worried about scoring goals or defending. I need somewhere local where I can get a good deal on my barnet. Looking to get some dreads put in..."

I don't t have a problem with him signing but there again I'm a fairly rational sort of guy.
He was a fish out of water when he first returned last season but I thought he was settling down well as the season progressed.
He clearly has some talent but hadn ' t played much football and is probably two years behind where he might have been. If he comes good it will have been a gamble worth taking with very little downside.

I don't get what the arrangement is. The club are saying its a permanent signing, but it doesn't mention free transfer or that Newcastle have cancelled his contract on either offal's. I hope we haven't paid a fee

Certain loose ends had to be agreed. Not too difficult to work out what.

Strange it's only until the end of the season

It didn't mention a fee so assume a free
