Has Rigg signed for the mags then?

That’s not the point. My point is made massively clear in my original post. See below

I hope the young lads at the academy see the relevance of this to their careers.

The younger brother of one of the top young talents in the world is looking to move to us when he could have his pick of anywhere. Due to the coaching, the pathway, the environment that allows young talent to thrive. Bellingham senior see’s this and brings his son to our game to see the environment first at hand that is best for his son.

Meanwhile Rigg senior is taking pics of him and his son at mag games and putting them on social media. Feel sorry for Chris cos if he doesn’t make it, it’ll be because his fathers a gravy for brains mag and putting his own loyalties ahead of the best interests of his son.

We don't have a rivalry with Birmingham, that's beside the point.

Would you be happy if it was the other way round and Birmingham had a focus on youth and our biggest youth talent was at their games?

Riggs dad is a mags fan, Rigg is a mags fan it's hardly sky falling in territory that the dad posts mag biased stuff on his social media

Just seen your edit. If Rigg doesn't make it, it's because he's not good enough, got nothing to do with his dad

Agree. However, everything we know about the filth’s ability to bring through footballers over the last decade or so would suggest that going to them won’t be a massive help to his career:lol:

What if he goes to Man Utd? They are very very keen on him

Your just being facisious. Read my original post.

Everything points to him being in the best possible environment. The kids who’ve left here and who’s growth has stunted, the top talent around his age wanting to come here, the progress of players a year or 2 older than him over the last 2 years. Literally everything…. Just let him develop.

And if you wanna help his rappor with the fans, watch mag games on telly at home. If you wanna be a good father stop any agents or club reps getting in his ear telling him how much he’d get if he moved now. Instead tell him to focus on his football, on getting into the first team, show what you can do here and then all that ‘ill come later.

My main point being if Jude Bellinghams little brother is on his way here, take note and realise how fkin lucky you are.

Unless you know the family, you have no idea what his family are telling him.

As I learned earlier this year, most kids that age have agents, boot deals etc which staggered me, but it's common and as he is a minor, club scouts, agents etc will have to talk to them or the parent.

The man Utd scout I sat next to at an u21 game earlier in the year wasn't shy in telling the Leicester scout that they want Rigg and are confident of getting him

I’ll have to get myself to an u21 game, just hope I can get a seat from all the scouts talking about how confident they are signing our best young players. Now I’m being facetious 😁

Anyway hope Rigg stays, Bellingham signs and they both go on to win the Premier League with us and the World Cup with England, a couple of times for good measure.

You should mate, I was surprised how openly they where waffling on, the Leicester scout was looking at 3 of the other teams players,.one they had been tracking all season and hoped to have sorted this summer

Quite possibly. People expecting him to play in a deeper midfield 2 next season are miles off though.

433 Should be our standard for me with the squad we’ve got. Means our wingers being higher up the pitch where they can cause damage. 3 of Neil, Ekwah, Embo, Bellingham, Evans, even Rigg. With Stewart, Clarke, Roberts as first choice front three I’d fancy us to be challenging top 2, if we have luck with injuries and a couple of backip/ different option strikers
