Spurs 38 m bid for rigg

Not always how it works as we’ve seen with the Stewart and Clarke money.

I’d rather we just kept him, the money means nothing to us as supporters. He’ll be a PL quality midfielder in 1-2 years and we, as fans, are better off having him stay.

It really does.

37m could really kick the team on IF it's reinvested right. If we spend 10m of it on three 17 yr olds, who are bought for further down the line, then its selling the clubs China to pay for the lights to be on.

Even after a few year of ownership, I'm still not sure if KLD has the proper appetite or desire for the kind of spending the next level would bring. Player sales give us deeper pockets, but would it equate to us actually spending the money on some ready made quality players needed for the next step?...I'm still not sure it would tbh.

Correct I m afraid,think we have trouble getting deals over the line on incomings but will no trouble doing deals outbound.
 
I absolutely understand him wanting the pay rise and security and footballers are in a risky profession, but at this stage playing games is the most important thing for his development.

£38m plus sell on clause and a loan back to us until he is ready to break unto Spurs first team. Seems fair to me.

Sunderland have a star on their hands with 17 year old Chris Rigg.
The teenage midfielder has shone in a great Sunderland side pushing for promotion to the Premier League this season.


Rigg has attracted some of the biggest clubs in the world who may be set to fight over his signature.
According to reports from Tottenham Hotspur has already bid roughly £38 Million pounds for the player during the current international break.
The English giants are reportedly "Determined" to bring Rigg to North London in the upcoming Summer Transfer Window.
Spurs have a recent history of hiring young Championship talents.
This past summer they signed Leeds United star Archie Gray and the player has made 38 appearances for Spurs this season.
Gray was signed for a huge £34 Million pounds according to Transfermarkt meaning Rigg will be signed for a bigger sum if the deal goes through.

Sunderland's current record transfer sale is Jordan Pickford back in 2017 when he joined Everton for roughly £25 Million according to Transfermarkt.
With Rigg reportedly being sought after for upwards of £35 Million pounds, it will shatter the Mackems current record sale.
Regardless of what division Sunderland are in next season this money would go along way for their season goals and upgrading the squad.
Rigg has played 34 games in the Championship this season for the Black Cats netting four goals and one assist.
He has been a crucial player all year and would be a huge loss for Regis Le Bris' side if he is to leave in the summer
