Still buzzing at the Rigg news. I've been open about not liking him recently but fair play to Speakman
Yeah he us, does a good job at RB but he will play CM for England in the next few yrs. One of the best youngsters I've ever scouted
It also shows that the club is also doing a lot of things right to persuade him and others before to commit to the future at this (OUR) club. Yes, things aren't perfect but, imo, things are going in the right direction
Defo has to be played centrally but ignoring any incomings as we’ve no idea what they’ll be yet does having Rigg instead of Jobe improve the midfield 3 with Neil and Ekwah? I’m not sure it does tbh
I think he could do. So far he hasn't been the same goal threat as Jobe (although he still got 3 in the game time he was given) but he definitely releases the ball quicker and has better vision. Jobe slowed down our play far too often last season by wanting 4 or 5 touches every time he got it.
Nah, he’ll do well here in a couple of years after Spurs have failed to use him much just like Clarke.
Decent write ups about the new scholars... https://x.com/AcademyOfLight/status/1807751559532425459?t=DzP0FluQb187R22AVShZrg&s=19
I'm quite encouraged we aren't signing him. Would have been easy enough to do and shows we are aiming for better.
Rigg stays on his feet more! Sounds like I’m knocking Jobe. Guess I am a bit. - he has frustrated me at times. Looking forward to seeing what the new coach will do with them both.
Think i said at the end of the season, we need more specialised players rather than versatile ones. Styles is an ok player but i dont want us signing players who are ok in a few positions, we need players who are good in a certain position (CM n CF being the priority) to improve us
