    Last bit I’ll add despite negative stories that came out about how the club handled players like Gooch, Pritchard and Batth a lot of the younger players like Patto, Rigg (Family included) etc have really strong connections with the higher ups and people behind the scenes, which is equally as crucial

    As long as he gets a run centrally , he will develop into a beast of a player. I really think he needs to be on the heart of the play and not placed out on the right wing.

    Very good point. We did the same with Doyle when he was on loan here too. Man management is key

    Yep, we need proper out and out wingers on both sides. Rigg in the middle feeding both of them.

    Agreed, although I’d like another holding midfield in on top of Norwood.

    Was on about Rigg before Romano beat me to it. Heard Neil is very close, Hume the least likely imo

    Would be too good to be true to get both Rigg and Neil to commit in the same week :D

    Bloody teenagers man <laugh> smile a bit son, you've achieved what thousands would have loved to.

    Not sure on the motivational signs in the background. You could have all kinds of fun swapping them out when nobody's looking though.....

    Knew it. :1980_boogie_down:

    Mags pushed hard for this one. Man U & Liverpool were also interested along with Dortmund. Big coup to get him to sign with us when they were sniffing about. First team exposure with us a big factor. Big contract for him and well deserved. Good on the club for sorting.

    Lamine Yamal has played 60+ games of football this season. It hasn't hurt him.

    Every footballer is different. Jobe might have done better in a less dysfunctional team.

    I couldn’t care less about Rigg being a Mag. However, I think he’s becoming more and more in love with the club anyway. Came thing happened with Carragher. Brought up a die hard Everton fans and then fell in love with Liverpool through playing with them.

    I always go back to Rigg kissing the badge … he loves it here

    You can absolutely tell from the way he acts and what he says, that even if he is a Mag, he loves it here.

    It must be completely different for professional footballers compared to us fans. You frankly support the team you play for.
