And they'd be straight on the bench then might never start. There's no way we're dropping our first choice striker who's scoring and has just signed a new contract ... ... after the end of the window there's only sixteen games left. That's why Cannon, etc, didn't want too come imo and why we're chasing a PL loan.
Agree with this. These “proven strikers that cost a good fee” would have other options offering them a starting spot. Our two strikers are our joint top contributors. Makes more sense for a young pl loan with someone coming to compete
Did they? I just remember laughing when media were saying Brum interested in Rigg! Aye and what like? He is hardly going to push for a move there after just signing a pro contract. Oh a quick edit to add after turning down prem teams
The same fans that said Jobe coming here was a sideways or even a backwards step. They would be in the PL before us and we would be in L1 where we belong.
Does the name Nathan Broadhead ring a bell? Mind you, he can be classed as a premier league player now so does that count?
Just come in, turned down £12m for Watson, wtf, didn’t realise we were that big a club tbh. Can u imagine 3 years ago turning down that size bid for one of our homegrown kids, not even one of our standout ones, future looks good doesn’t it?
Look at the state of this man lol https://x.com/Terry94023972/status/1885771491502940584?t=gBkc6MI0JpfCQegfMz4gOg&s=19
I understand that a bit more, fans bias for their own club and we hadn't been out of league 1 for very long. But to think Rigg would join them and it be a step up when they had just been relegated to league 1 ffs!
It's the age old conundrum of how football supporters quickly grow accustomed to something then want more ... ... It's only a few years when we were discussing or players and wondering if we'd get a fee
