I'm not arguing with you. I'm asking you to clarify what you mean. He's being given a chance at 15 that players older than him still can't get regardless of injuries or no injuries.

Of course it's more likely he will be in a squad with injuries but to do it at his age (while older players are ignored and can't get a sniff) suggests he's got something about him and the club value him enough to fast track him to either want to convince him his future is here, or to protect themsleves financially (at least to a degree) and if he's as good as made out it is the right thing to do.


Ah so that's why his ability is being played down. Starting to make sense now.
You are trying to argue by making stuff up that I never said. I've already said the lad has talent, all I have said is if he is in the squad it's probably down to injuries. Still good for the lad to be in and around the 1st team
 
Do we know he's off? Seems to have been talked about forever, so why hasn't it happened?

Was the same with that one that went to Everton as well tbf.

Why do you think other players can't get a look on with injuries?

We got a decent fee for Okoronkwo tbf. Nigh on a million quid if he ends up playing a senior game for Everton. Difference there was, he'd signed a pro contract at Everton as a 17 year old. Rigg may not even be 16 if and when he goes.
 
Maybe we're taking him along for experience and to show him how highly he's rated by the club? Trying to show him he has a chance of 1st team football here in the near future, rather than being lost in some Liverpool or Man United youth set up. But no, it'll be something negative for people to spin.

The way I'm reading it is, he's going along with the first team for the experience etc and we might have a couple of injury doubts. If he makes the matchday squad, all good all around, if he doesn't then at least he's got the experience of a first team match day squad and the knowledge that he's highly thought of and that there's a pathway for young players regardless of age.

Have no idea I'm not TM, young players have travelled with the squad on many occasions before, if he gets in the match day squad then good luck to him hope he does well if he gets on the pitch.
 
Apparently his Dad rocks up to games in a Newcastle top. Before anyone berates the club when he inevitably chooses their U23s over our first team.

Aye they do. Not so much 15 year old though with a manager name dropping them in the lead up.
