Deuce Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Do think McClaren, Cathro et al will be infinitely better for our younger players than Pardew and his cloggers. Excited at the prospect of Abeid, Aarons, Armstrong and even Sammy developing with some proper coaching. McClaren does have a history of giving opportunities to youngsters, right?

KaKa Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 He has already said that if they're good enough then they are old enough. First interview he mentioned that, and so we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Just the relief of working under people with some knowledge of football should lead to around a 20% performance boost TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I wonder what will happen to the 'big' Greek football teams considering their country is up shit creek without a paddle money wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I wonder what will happen to the 'big' Greek football teams considering their country is up shit creek without a paddle money wise. AEK Athens already went bust, Panathinaikos spent £200k on fees in the last two seasons, Olympiakos can probably scrape by on European money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I wonder what will happen to the 'big' Greek football teams considering their country is up s*** creek without a paddle money wise. AEK Athens already went bust, Panathinaikos spent £200k on fees in the last two seasons, Olympiakos can probably scrape by on European money. So it's highly unlikely Abeid will be joining any Greek club then. Even if NUFC were willing to let Abeid go for free (no chance) the Greek club wouldn't be able to offer him competitive wages (or any wages with their banks shut and the country about to go bankrupt).

Sho Time Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I wonder what will happen to the 'big' Greek football teams considering their country is up s*** creek without a paddle money wise. One of the Olympiakos players is meant to be bucking Nicole Sherzinger so I'm sure he'll be OK. But aye, the rest of them are fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Positive that we haven't sold this lad already. McClaren's probably waiting for the board to analyse in their infinite wisdom that he isn't very good before we ship him off somewhere where he becomes a midfield lynch-pin.

Dan Gleebals Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The likes of him, Vuckic, Ferguson and Bigi have all been grossly mismanaged and coached over the last 4 years. I am not suggesting they were, are or could be decent premiership players but they have never been given the right development IMO, let along opportunities. Even if the player is in there, it is going to take the new coaching team a while to get the confidence and game craft into them for this level. If they can with one or two then it confirms everything we know and thought about Pardew et al. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Bigi was one of Pardews biggest crimes. He didnt look out of his depth in the prem at 17/18 and he could have been quality. I never understood why he dissapeared feom the first team after a very promising debut season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 He only played when we had injuries didn't he? Not sure who in midfield since then that he'd have played ahead of. You see it plenty, random youngster plays 15-20 games then disappears down the leagues. Not saying Bigi couldn't have been a good player, but he was never better than Cabaye, Tiote, Sissoko, Anita, Abeid, and we know Colback was getting dropped for no-one.

Unbelievable Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Since that stint the likes of Dan Gosling, Ryan Taylor and Gouffran have featured numerous times in our midfield. I would say that Bigi would have easily contributed more than all three of those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thread's gone a bit off-topic but must say I've always liked Bigi and the stories I've read about him (how he got signed by Coventry originally and when he was training on the beach and ended up invited to a random wedding), but when he's played for us he's taken some absolutely horrendous set-pieces.
