Possibly more likely to be a young player. What a fun little game Paully has started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Actually, could be Rigg signing a professional contract with Sunderland. Paully with his Hebburn links and being "shocked but understands", after it looking like we'd sign him.

The Butcher Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Rigg will come when he's good and ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 It will be Rigg. Not that surprised he hasn't come here because he'd be miles off a starting place. We could have bought him and loaned him out though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 They're clearly currently very committed to promoting youth and did a good job of it last season. It's a good place for him to develop at the mo as he's already close to the first team. He's not even going to be 20 for a few years yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 It's a sensible move from him at that age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much closer to playing for the ‘actual team’ there, and staying (for now) with the club who has developed him deserves some kudos for loyalty. Hope he does well.

Thomson Mouse Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 He’ll get far more first team opportunities there and if he progresses will be in a far better position to demand a better package if he moves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Makes perfect sense for Rigg. He's comfortable there, he'll get plenty of opportunities and they play a decent brand of football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he's taken a pragmatic approach (more first team opportunities) or an emotional one (I'm happy here, I feel valued) he's made the right call.

et tu brute Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Most important part is the here and now and getting the first team squad built to a high standard and depth throughout. The whole academy structure has been ripped up and a very high standard of quality coaches/scouts recruited. Probably take a year or two, but the academy will no doubt be producing high quality youngsters on a very regular basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
