Exactly this, the similarities between them at the same age.
People keep saying he hasn’t achieved much since then, but there’s nothing to confirm Rigg will.
FYI I do think Rigg will eclipse Hughes for the record, but I’m just glad there’s some sense, and people can see Hughes is a very fair comparison to make.

No, not at all, they were miles ahead of Rigg at Riggs age.
Ham.
Hope you mean the Man City Foden and not the England Foden.

Not many players look good in that England setup to be fair

Rigg is 17 years and 3 months old (nearly). You said Hughes had done more by that age. In reality, Hughes had played hardly any football by that age.
You were wrong, admit it.

Easy to get carried away when you watch him but I hope he's able to keep his feet on the ground and just keep developing. He's come on a lot over the last few months I think. You can see he's ready now.
I think he's possibly the most technically gifted player we've produced so it's exciting. If we don't go up this season I fear we may lose him in the summer.

Gonna be hard for him to keep his feet on the ground when sections of his fans think he’s the next Messi like

This is the thing you were wrong on.
When Hughes was Rigg's age he had played 3 league games, including his debut as a 90th minute substitution.

I remember plenty of our fans didn't really rate him and thought we'd got a great deal when he went to Liverpool. There was the infamous 'Colback is better' thread on here.Everyone with two eyes (and some without...!) predicted a great career for Henderson

I thought he was called Hendersonman as that's all you ever heard from the moaners behind me at the match.

Bellingham moved to Dortmund at 17. Whats to say Rigg wont be doing the same at a Man City etc?

Because he’d have to go back in time to be at the same stage as Bellingham maybe.
Bellingham moved to Dortmund in July 2023, so unless Rigg finds a way to defy the laws of physics, there’s no way he can do what Jude did?

July 2020 you mean. He’d just turned 17 and already played 41 games for Birmingham, of which 32 were starts.
Rigg is a full year behind Jude, but looks like he’s about 6 months or so ahead of Jobe.

He's a once in a generation player , Rooney, Gascoigne, et al
Let's just enjoy him in our strip , the lad always wanted to play for us
But with every game he expans his game knowledge
Imagine him, Foden , Jude , maybe Jobe in England team , and remember it was a little team from county Durham where he honed his skill
