Chris Rigg

Get promoted or he will 100% be sold in the summer. I'm sure we will turn down massive bids in January. So let's get promoted and see this midfield work against a higher level of opposition. Because so far, Rigg and Jobe have bossed games and I don't want it to ever end.

The kid is fantastic. Thank Christ he stayed

Not exaggerating when people say he's a future England player like.
Henderson had clear talent at a young age but nothing compared to Rigg who has just f***ing turned 17 btw. Unreal player who we are truly blessed to have

 

[FanForLife]

This is why we brought Aleckic in (sorry if spelt wrong) he will be Riggs replacement eventually as was mundle for Clarke. Rigg will be here next season if we go up, in my opionion we'll get this season possibly next then hell be away to a top top club.

Best thing is mags telling me he's a mag, then I remind them he fucked them off to commit to the red & white wizards. Fuck them nonces.

I don't mean to piss on anyone's biscuits here and the lad looks absolutely immense, but this is 4 games into the season for the lad. He's only going to get better and better, but at his age I would expect his form to ebb and flow in line with the teams performances. I fully expect him to make it to the very top, but it already feels like we are getting into the territory of expecting him to pull out top level performances week in and week out.

I think we need to change our expectations of him and just let the lad play and enjoy his football.

Very fair point - people on here were (rightly) critical of the way we were running Jobe into the ground last season.

We've now got an embarrassment of riches for central midfield, especially as while we haven't seen Samed yet he's certainly got the pedigree to be absolute class as well. It's a long season and the kids will need a rest at some point

Pompey fans on twitter raving about him

 

[Drexl]

Any way to watch the whole match again? I want to watch his scoop over the defenders head, outrageous skill.

 

[Fez2]

We have two young players that we could potentially sell to one of the top European clubs for crazy amounts. Maybe up towards £100m the pair

Pompey fans on twitter raving about him

Walked back to the pub with a few pompey fans who said he was the best youngster they'd seen in a long long time. Very exciting future ahead of him. Let's just hope it's with us in the Prem.

 

[Fletch]

The next Bryan Robson , avoid injury and will play for England

The club have put up extended highlights. The full 90 will follow at some point in next 24 hours.

 

[Weststand]

That tackle he made

talking to a mate during the game on text and we both sent 'that tackle' to each other at the same time

 

[Deleted member 52509]

Bet he’s happy he made the correct decision to sign that deal here and play
Rather than sit on a bench somewhere and not get this chance.
We are good for him and him for us.

Was that the one in the 2nd half? If so i'm still trying to compute what I saw, was as you say outrageous.

 

[Mowgli]

Newcastle supporting mate of mine still convinced he’ll end up there next season. I don’t think they realise that there’s levels here and they are small fish when it comes to a talent like Rigg. I would imagine the likes of Dortmund and Real will be sniffing about

I dont think dortmund would pay the money these days tbh. He should be going for more than £20m when he does.

 

[Gloucester]

Rigg started the moves for all 3 goals yesterday. After the crunch tackle he jumped to his feet and played such a delicate pass to send Mayenda on his way for the third.

 

[wrighty]

Will just have gone 27

I’ve seen nothing like him at this club like. Not even exaggerating. He’s ridiculous.

The turn and pass to Browne and n the build up to Brownes goal is incredible- took out 3 Portsmouth players

 

[Coeus]

Massive hand in all three goals and watching the tackle back it becomes even more impressive, he's coiled waiting for the lad to receive and touch it into what he thought was space. In just that tackle he showed amazing levels of awareness, anticipation and aggression. I don't like going over the top but it's very difficult not to on Chris Rigg, he has everything at 17.
