Summer '24 transfer window

[SAFC Wilks]

This is easily the best bit of business we have done for a long time. This boy is some serious talent and is already championship quality at the age of 17. When Fab Romano says it’s a huge one for us, you know he’s the real deal.

He’ll go very far. Buzzing with this contract news.

Is it too much to ask for Norwood too

Last I heard he had agreed and was set for medical this week although I know Boro wanted him too.

Him and another one …

Still no idea who the other is mate?

No idea at all.

I think Rigg signing for 3 years will be great news but I’m greedy and would like him here for at least 4 and preferably 5.

The first year he will be in and out, probably ending the season a much improved player with loads of potential.

The problem then is do we sell after 1 year because if we wait until the second year ends we could end up losing him on a free the next year.

If we got him on a 5 year contract we would get 3 good years and be in a strong position to sell during the final 2 years (unless we get promoted and he wants to stay)

However, 3 years would still be great.

Rigg done
Neil should be announced asap (all agreed)
Ballard - (close but still a bit to sort)

As I said yesterday morning

Still two new signings this week?

edit - seen ur above post

We usually have a club option of a further year, so maybe it’s 3 years plus an optional extra year?

Great business by the club.

Obviously want him here for the long term, however this protects the club massively if he were to leave in the next couple of years.

Fair play, the club are really stepping up their game with communications.

Get them 3 signed, I'll be happy. Then it's down to who comes in

 

[Irish Black cat]

I don’t want the good news to stop give me MORE!!!

I think 3 yr is the Max they can sign for first pro contract.

Don’t care who he followed as a bairn, he’s beaming, he’s one of us

 

[Rade Prica]

The signing of Rigg on a pro contract is huge. Don’t think we will fully understand the importance until we watch him develop this season. I think he will be a hugely important player in our season, at the age of 17.
