People are judging him based on one season with us in the championship when he was 17, played out of position and in a team managed by many consider to be the worst manager we've ever had... He'd walk into our team no question in its current state. How many players in our squad could do this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNdTtWoeYhc

Yeah tedious pointless and total bollocks if we all put a thread about who we would like well,

I'd have him back, he's better than Thomas even if they are different type of midfielders.

Whilst true, plenty of players have scored the odd goal like that, doesn't mean they can do it week in week out or even 5-6 times a year.
There's more merit of us judging him on his initial spell here, than pointing to 1 goal and judging him on that.
Which in that case we might as well sign these up...

Or perhaps sign this fella (4.15)..

I'd be trying to get the young Cov lad Crowley, who has just signed his first professional contract for Arsenal, on loan.
Looking at the clips of him, he looks half decent!

Every city gets their footballing genius every now and then. Ours finally came around when we were not good enough for him

Because anyone that has kicked a ball would appreciate what he brought to the team. He won tackles in key areas and retained possession with simple short passes. The critics on here seem to focus on what he can't do rather than what he is effective at. Certain players are in the team to do a specific job. Andy Thorn asked Bigi to do a job he wasn't as suitable for and he did it well, hence why he got a move to a premier league club.
Now if he got played in his strongest position, just in front of the back four, people would have seen more of his natural game and appreciated his role a lot more.

Ultimately though his quality will be defined by his career will it not?

Couldn't agree with you more procdoc. Absolutely spot on. No fan including me knows 100% of the tactics the manager employs and what he tells the player what he wants him to achieve in that game. What Bigi was, was positive, tried to keep possession and move the play forward, his movement was intelligent and wise. Many fans just immediately think a player is shit because he doesn't score 20 goals or because he can't remember what that player did.

Well for starters he was signed by a premier league club at what 19? or whatever age he was. Played some games including Europa and he will probably move on. But of course his quality will be defined by his career when he gets there. He is still young.
As I haven't got a crystal ball I obviously cannot predict what his career will end up being like. I base my opinion on what I have seen up until now. Bigi is a very talented footballer, whether his maximum potential gets reached during his career or not is impossible to say.

He's been on loan at rangers since 2nd Feb and not yet made the bench in the 3 games since he signed. He's got company though, Rangers signed 5 players from newcastle on loan but only Vuckic and Streete have featured.
It's a bit worrying for him, yeovil for reasons didn't take him on loan, not he can't get a game in the Scottish second tier.

When they joined I'm sure I read the Newcastle players had to play if fit.

I'm sure I heard that the manager said he didn't want them??
So are they fit or is he just not playing them?
Edit: they're injured.
