Chris Rigg


It was a bit similar to Clarke transfer. Rumour talk about him leaving. Media just couldnt stop on about him. Rigg is the same. I think he'll be gone this summer. Very difficult to keep him like. Depend on how good his agent are.

Plenty of interest if you the believe the press

"Believe the press" the jurno's print lies or made up stories, the player's agents also plant made up stories.
We were going to get £30m for Jack Clarke, in the end it was £13m? plus extras of £5m?

Obviously players want premiership teams ( and wages), imho if Rigg left now for Chelsea say he would be farmed out somewhere (back to us, if not promoted) not necessarily 1st team football. His family might like the money ( and KLD) but for him not playing 1st team football could hurt his career

Of course there is. Clarke pushed for a move beginning last season but we told him he had to stay and promised him he could go this summer if an acceptable bid came in. We won't be selling Jobe AND Rigg, no chance.

You don’t know what is in their contracts, regarding release clauses etc. I’d be very surprised if both didn’t have those guarantees inserted. If a player wants to leave, especially where bigger clubs are concerned, they get their man if the player wants to go.

The flip side to that is he is training with better players and improves his game.

I can't see us allowing release clauses myself. I hope we start standing our ground more. We could of do e alot better in the sale of Jack Clarke imo

Agents have got their heads screwed on these days. Any kind of young developing player, I’d be amazed if said clauses weren’t in their contracts. It wouldn’t be in their interests not to.

This board does nothing better than fantasying about players leaving. Enjoy him while we can and the season as a whole.

Rigg has been away / nearly died numerous times in the past 18 months

What baffles me is that they fantasize about the money "we" should get for him. Weird shit on twitter like "£25m and we'll talk", "how much should we accept for Rigg?". As if they are going to see any of it or have any say in what they are sold for. Most seem to be under the misconception that it will all go back on transfer fees and we'll build this amazing squad with the money. Its no achievement selling your best player at the end of each season. The real trick is keeping your best players at the end of each season.

It’s absolutely sickening isn’t it

The IQ of this type is frighteningly low

I can't see for the life of me, a 16year old kid, signing his first ever professional contract...having a release clause in it. Not a chance.
 
I think he will be future SAFC captain. IF we go up we won't sell either Jobe or Rigg or any of our better players in my opinion. IF we don't go up we possibly sell one of the better rated players but I don't think Rigg will be the one. Anything can happen depending on which clubs come in and what they offer I know
