Isnt Rigg now à senior home grown player?

Still counts as U21, and doesn't have to be registered

But in terms of overall home grown players?

In European terms, he counts as club grown. You need to have 4 for a full 25 man squad. We're a bit short on that front

Can’t imagine Ghisolfi allowing the club to shoot itself in the foot

Should be able to get a 23 or 24 man squad though for the European competition (if we qualify of course) I would have thought? We're not going to have 4 homegrown club players good enough and Rigg and maybe Patterson as backup making up two of them.

Thing is, club grown is what it says. I think at the moment there's only Patto, Neil, Rigg and Young anywhere near the first team who would be club grown senior players. And the first two probably won't be here. Of the U21s, there's only really Tutieriov and Ogunsuyi look prospects (maybe Neill, but he's very young). Abdullahi hasn't been with us long enough. Mayenda might squeak in the way that Saliba did for Arsenal, but that's up for debate.

Fingers crossed then
Isn’t the agreed transfer fee something like £20m? That’s a pretty big outlay, can’t see it myself.

Peanuts in PL terms. And he's good value at the price

£20m is peanuts at this level for a player of his quality who can cover multiple positions
If it goes our way tomorrow and we are in Europe the option has to be exercised surely

No .Really?so you struggle dealing with a difference of opinion? I was replying to someone who inferred I didn't go to games.
Don't struggle at all .
Just noted most of your opinions are negative.
No they arent. That's a load of rubbish
I'm not giving Hume stick, just think he is getting shoe horned into the team just so he plays. I don't miss a game by the way
There is nothing about RLB that suggests he plays players out of loyalty only, it’s an insult to him as well as Hume.
In its simplest form RLB has chosen to use Hume in a floating role to provide defensive cover when on the back foot and to cover other defenders when we attack.
Our form has started to improve with this hybrid and fluid set up.
It’s not the discussion it’s the insults towards two people who more than most are responsible for where we are.
I know you said it was a joke , I just didn’t get it
