Near the end of the video he's laughing at Arsenal and Man Utd missing out on signing him and calling them arrogant for thinking they would sign him![]()
How do you think Rigg will fare in the premier league?
It's really hard to say, because I haven't really watched a whole lot of PL football in recent years and we didn't do well in the cups last season so didn't play a PL team. I think the step up is going to be really hard for all of them.
He's got bags of talent though, future England international level of potential I'd say. Like a few of our youngsters, he was a bit burned out towards the end of the season (Jobe was the same the year before). So I hope he enjoys his break and gets himself a conditioning coach over the summer and bangs on some muscle (a few of them have done that in recent years). But, most important to your question, i'd say at the start of last season before being burned out he was up there with the best in the Championship at 16 years old - and that's pretty mad to be honest.
Probably going to struggle to adapt, and might even look crap for awhile in a struggling team. But I'd suspect by the end of the season he'll be upto speed and playing well. Would not be at all surprised if he gets a move to a top european side.
He looks pretty much the equal already to Dan Neil though a bit more forward thinking while Neil seems superior defensively.
Surprised not many posters here wanted us to sign him if you hadnt come up, he looks like he'll go far.
Yeah we had Dortmund and Monaco scouts at a fair few games last season, talk from someone I know at the club that Barcelona were at least looking at him as well. Who knows though.
There's so many youngsters who have a chance of playing consistently in the top flight in the future like: Watson who is off obviously, but Jobe, Hume, Mundle, Cirkin, Ballard, Mayenda & Rigg. I think Neil and Patterson are good, but probably not PL level - but i'll be interested to see. Further down the order a lad called Harrison Jones and another called Matty Young are already being talked about highly too.
If we hadn't of gone up we'd of been picked apart this summer I reckon. And maybe it'll be like a feeding frenzy at the zoo if we put up a half decent showing of ourselves but still go down!
So im.assuming due to some psr shenanigans they'll be dipping into thr coutinho money and the trent fee to sign wirtz and frimpong and still make a profit?
Will miss him in the PL, my favourite PL player of the last decade. Prob one of the best central midfielders I’ve ever seen.
City in for Cherki
Ya he did. Someone did a mash up of him singing that and then him losing his s*it when it was announced he wasn't signingdidn't he sing zubi dubi doo the tune of scooby doo
Think I'd generally prefer him to stay, he's got what, 3, maybe 4 years left?Saudi club funding utd with a 100 mill bid for a 30 year old, hmm
