Bigi off to Newcastle (26 Viewers)

[torchomatic]

Yeah, that's true. Bugger.

There's articles on-line in the independent, Guardian and Telegraph now about it which gives it a bit more credibility for me.

Indeed. But apparently there are now rumours doing the rounds that Keogh's signed a new contract. Again, I'll wait to hear more and anythin official but if this deal had to go through for the Keogh one then I would take that.

agreed - would sell bigi to keep Keogh every time!!!

 

[torchomatic]

I may get shot down for this but at this point in time I'd rather keep Keogh.

 

[skybluelee]

I will eat my hat (well, cycle helmet) if Keogh signs a new contract. Never in a million years. Desperately hope he does though.

 

[torchomatic]

Yeah, my feelings exactly, Lee. We can but hope.

 

[pusbccfc]

He's trending worldwide on twitter! Lad!

 

[Mumford and Daughter]

1 mill is a disgrace

 

[Mumford and Daughter]

Damn. I thought it was speculation, but now that's it's on Newcastle Glory Football Dot Com...

[Sick Boy]

Having his medical right now.

 

[PVA]

OK so there's a picture on Twitter of him arriving for his medical.

 

[Nick]

Post it up

 

[torchomatic]

Come on keep up, we've already mentioned the Guardian and the Independent! If you're going to have a go at least do your homework first!

I hope Gael Bigirimana doesn't pass his medical at Newcastle; can't have my haircut being the second best in the league. #CCFC #NUFC

Top Tweet!! LOL

 

[torchomatic]

He's probably visiting his nan.

 

[kg82]

Is he in his City Tracksuit still?

Definitely looked like it didn't it!

 

[torchomatic]

And strategically placed branches hiding that tell-tale haircut.

In total the fee could be a million. Anyone else think that's piss poor for a player with his potential? Considering players like delph went for 6x more a few years earlier. Hopefully the rumour that we can loan him back is true

 

[ashbyjan]

Knowing SISU's brilliant business acumen loaning him back will cost us £1.5 million and we will have to sell Thomas to pay for it

 

[torchomatic]

Yes, I think it's piss poor. I would have hoped to double that.

 

[grego_gee]

He looks worried, he'll cop out!

Delph is the obvious example I keep citing as to why we should keep him at least for a season longer: his value can only go up, and I think he's going to be at least as good as Delph.

 

[oldskyblue58]

how long does Bigi have left on his contract here?

 

[sw88]

Tbf, The Bigi who finished the season wasn't the Bigi we were lead to believe we would see after his FIRST appearance. He definately has potential, but I'm not sure how far this lad can go. He looks good, but so did Fleck (apparently) in his early days.

I do think he will end up being average and nothing more, unless Newcastle do something to him that we haven't managed to do.

Best of luck Bigi if you do go / have gone, but I fear moving on so soon will be a decision you live to regret

 

[sky_blue_up_north]

Thought he signed a four deal last season.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Burnley first half was the best 45 minutes I've seen from a City player in about 3 seasons! His lack of impact in general is due to people expecting to much to soon for a talent with huge potential but zero experience. I'd expect to see him to kick on again loads this season in a less-pressurised division. Only we won't, as we are selling him

 

[skyblueman]

Seems Newcastle think he's worth a gamble for a Million - not much of a gamble for them - we however can't afford any more gambles

 

[ccfcway]

I think 1 million is about right

Just hope some of this goes to keeping Keogh, but i doubt it !

 

[1nilandwe...]

Where has the 'loaning him back' rumour appeared from? Surely Newcastle fans would be less than chuffed with that arrangement.

Why would they be less than chuffed with that? He's nowhere near good enough for their first team currently.

 

[CUS Wyken]

NLHWC - That's a million including add-on's aswell were lead to believe. Wonder if he'll take his Bigirimana clan with him?

SW88 - He was never the same player after the sending off. I feel he is a great prospect under the right guidance
