It's funny how life pans out.Ive been told this by someone that genuinely knows the family.Riggs Dad is a Mag through and through. But he decided that what was best for his Son was to go to Sunderland despite offers from Newcastle and Boro,as a little lad because he knew that Sunderland was his Sons best option to make it. Despite Chris being a Newcastle fan he's Dad kept on telling him that Sunderland was he's best option because he believed Sunderland being in Leauge one and championship his Son would get more game time rather than just sat somewhere in the Newcastle set up especially with the "takeover". His Dads persistence and foresight means he now stands in a photograph as his son signs a premier league contract at Sunderland. Congratulations to them.... especially his Mam.... who's a Lads fan.

Maybe his dad’s Friday night ‘promise’ was connected to his continued contribution to the mackems

Wharton is quality. I hope he doesn’t end up at Chelsea though, he’d develop better elsewhere

I seriously think this is the type of Player Rigg turns into, very technical and can pass through the lines, not overly quick like Rigg as well

I've seen some Sunderland fans saying he's not ...

... presumably based on not yet having seen him play in the PL.

Well you never know I suppose, and I'm not great a judge.

But, as with Micky Bridges when he broke through as a sixteen year old, with Chris you just know. As far as you can be sure about any player, I'm sure about him .

He's got the lot for a midfielder, plus he sees all around him like one of those swivel headed robots with five cameras in their head.

Hardly any player, young or old does this and at the very top it's what makes the difference.

IMO as a poor judge that is<laugh>

Good post mate. I grew up in Consett in the late 50's and early 60's,and there were any amount who went to Roker one week and St James the other. It seemed like it was supporting North East football which was important,and the same people who had pride in seeing good football from one had the same pride in seeing the same from the other.Of course there was always rivalry when they played each other,but,growing up,I don't remember the sectarianism that seems to exist today.

I went to Newcastle loads in the early sixties when the lads were playing away, never felt any affinity to them it was just a thing loads used to do.

EFL Analysis can exclusively reveal, via transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey, that we understand that Sunderland are interested in Stoke City goalkeeper Viktor Johansson.

Despite Sunderland bringing in Dutch keeper Robin Roefs, who is now ahead of Anthony Patterson in their pecking order, Black Cats boss Regis Le Bris is keen to add another shot-stopper to his squad.

Sunderland, who still want another central defender and centre-forward before Monday’s deadline, are now looking at Johansson, who has enjoyed a brilliant start to the season.
