Chris Rigg

He's unbelievable, we'll probably never have another Chris Rigg, I just hope we can keep him for a good 3-5 years. He'll still be young enough to go and do the Real Madrid thing then.

I think one of the big boys will come in with an offer we can't refuse in a couple of years. I hope we're in the Premier League by then so the fee is substantial and we can invest it elsewhere.
 
When he goes It's got to be the highest ever transfer fee received for a a championship club, excluding when clubs have been relegated sold players with premier league experience.

I reckon if he avoids injury then we will get bids come in for him next summer , if we don’t get promoted we will lose him if he continues to progress the way he has been anyway , get promoted and he stays

Agreed. I think it will take quite a big lump of cash for us to part with him. He needs games and he's getting them here.
 
It’s a shame in these times we live in, where a 17 year old with less than 30 appearances has to have praise caveated with “enjoy him while he’s here” type comments and the knowledge of and preparation for a departure in the foreseeable future. Needing to secure a promotion to perhaps have him on for one or two more seasons. Being unlikely to see him play for us in his peak. Presume there was a time where he’d have just remained at SAFC.

That said the club’s done amazing to keep him.

Also interesting to have a talent where the feeling is that he’s beyond the reach of most clubs, unlike say Clarke (Brentford, Palace, Ipswich). On the current trajectory his next move won’t be a mid table pl outfit. He seems destined for the top and hopefully he plays for us in the pl.

That’s hardly a new thing unless you go back 70-80 years. Everton only had Rooney for two years, the mags had Gazza for just 3.
