Chris Rigg

[10 Trenches Deep]

How old was Rooney when he broke into England team, he was some talent.
What’s for sure Rigg is the best 17 year old in this country right now, that’s quite something for us

Yes, fair point.

 

[Vore]

It helps a bit that he's still stuck with the kids in England u18 but won't be far off getting fast tracked.

Any idea why he isn't already? Clearly mint since Fulham nearly 2 years ago, you'd think the setup would have noticed by now. Wouldn't be surprised if you're not allowed to have an all-SAFC midfield in the England u21s

If Rigg was playing the exact same but for a PL team, he'd be in the current England squad (or at the very least in the u21s).

 

[Vore]

Yes, fair point.

The classic SMB Colback vs Hendo happened when they were both +20, this is what really excites me.

I don't know but it's clearly not going to help him, he's so far, far above u18 level that it's literally pointless him going. Just look at these kids in there with him.

Is Devine Musaka the guy keeps being linked on here or am I just hungry?
Oliver Whatmuff, I can't even go there...

Sell to city 40 mill and loan back

40m honestly isn't enough

 

[Vore]

40m honestly isn't enough

He's a generational talent, possibly beyond both of the Bellinghams. It's hard to put a number on it but he'll leave for much less than we're happy with whatever the answer.

It would smash our record it's not going to be higher unless we get prem this season

 

[safcyank]

Only way he stays another season is of we get promoted. Even then, only if he signs a contract extension and then realistically, we will have him for just one more season. Same with Jobe.

Let's get promoted, keep them one more year, and they can help us stay up. Would be massive for the club, with their sales helping sett up a whole new era in the PL.

I think you are thinking of Divin Mubama, who turned down a new contract at West Ham and had all of the Championship after him, but he ended up signing for Man City and never even went out on loan. He's stayed there to compete for a place in their youth team. Pointless choice by him I think.

He surely joins Jobe in the Elite U20s before the season ends, otherwise I think we can agree that the England youth set up are idiots.

Our transfer record is completely and utterly irrelevant to his value.

Sounds exactly the sort of player we'll pick up for £0 pounds soon.

 

[admwil]

City bound?

Was just thinking he would be so good in that side, but I am not sure if Pep was to leave

Not sure why we would even sanction releasing him for U18 football at this point.

 

[Spargel]

He is quality. I think Aleksic has been didn’t with one eye on the future as possible replacement

 

[El Gen]

Chris Rigg is the primary reason we need to get promoted.
Probably worth an extra 30m alone for him if we do.
Even if we do though, i think we'll only get an extra year with him - unless we really kick on.
He should be winning trophies by time he's 19

Signed

 

[TheBronzeBummer]

I don't see the benefits of the lad leaving next summer. Any club that can buy him, probably won't give what he needs. Hope the clubs valuation is high.

 

[TW2_Mackem]

Now that he’s cemented himself firmly in our first team the scouts from Europe’s big boys will be all over him like fine tooth comb. Enjoy him whilst he’s here and hopefully it’s for a season in the PL too.
