Only my opinion but I believe his game time hasn't been taxing to avoid injury as he's had a growing spurt. He no longer looks like a schoolboy.
Rigg

- Start date

No doubt he will leave now, the lad getting next to nothing in terms of first team opportunities which no doubt he wants.
Total failure in how he’s been handled
Signed the contract then we changed direction on his opportunity, typical Sunderland build ya up and drop you down

He played less than 7 full 90 minutes in the league last year. 26 apps makes it sound like he was a first team mainstay

Take it you've not heard what our manager just said bout him then

And 4 of his 5 starts were when Birmingham had nothing to play for so could afford to blood him a bit more.

I think we’re in good shape with Rigg. He must know that his game time and development is guaranteed with us for the next few years…then there’s every chance he will have outgrown us if his potential ceiling is so high. Signing pro terms with Sunderland is a good idea and we’re hardly holding him back.

He'll be 18 going on 19 by the end of next season. But think he'll be out on a season loan.
I think most of us would love that scenario but unfortunately I can't see it. I hope I'm wrong.

Might not be but could easily be. Lad looks outstanding to me. Donnarumma broke into the Milan team at 16 and made his debut for Italy at 17. If we’re in the championship next season and the right conditions arise why not?
Looks the most outstanding keeper prospect we’ve ever had to me and keepers probably where we’ve had the most outstanding talent over the last 30 years. All depends on how he progresses the weaker parts of his game over the next 6 months. Shot stopping and presence are particularly outstanding for his age

On what Ive seen so far this season Jobe will never cause havoc. Rigg should be starting ahead of him.

So not ready to be starting like I suggested

Comparing him to a keeper no matter what his talent like is very very premature no keepers play at our level anywhere near his age look how much patto gets slated by some after a couple of mistakes.

Miley only got into the team because of the number of midfielders they had missing. Wouldn’t have had a sniff otherwise
Listen to his interview from earlier in the season and there’s no worry of losing him imo. He was talking about the plan for next season and being much more involved

People can have differences of opinions in football but people slagging Patto are just laughably wrong.
I member watching Buffon at Parma and Donnarumma at Milan and they both had a weakness on crosses when then first came through, in particular corners but their shot stopping ability and presence in goal meant they were right to be number 1.
Its just very obvious to me that Young is a special talent and we’re in the championship, never has been or will be the level of seria A or playing for your country. When he’s ready he’s ready. If we don’t go up this year then I’d be expecting big offers for Patto and I hope Young gets his chance straight with us, with an experienced head as number 2 incase he needs a spell out.
