Summer transfer rumours (2 Viewers)

[Jamesimus]

I personally don't think Rushworth is premier league quality, in fact I think there is just as good keepers playing for other championship clubs.

Are these “just as good” keepers playing in the same league as us at the moment? If so, what are their names because I am unaware of them…

There is a chance Brighton don't see Rushworth as their backup even. Their current No 2 has been called up to the England squad. If that's the case you would expect him to hand in a transfer request going on what he has said.

I know Brighton fans who say they very much think he will be their number 1 next season

There’s no way Steel is considered an England keeper. He has been called up as a training goalkeeper, not the same thing as being considered for the number 1 shirt. There are loads of keepers who are much better including Rushworth and Bealdle who are both Brighton players as well. There is not a chance Steel would think of himself as higher up the pecking order than Rushworth. (Before anyone chips in, I am NOT suggesting Rushy and Beadle are equal!! Merely making the point that even just Brighton have 2 better keepers than Steel)

The thing with Brighton is that even though they are now established in the Prem, they don’t have massive commercials so are still in essence a bit of a selling club. Sellling Verbruggen for £35m+ and then having Rushworth would be great business for a club like them. This would likely be the model we would have to adopt unless we get an owner with really really deep pockets.

Nobody hands in transfer requests anymore. Contracts almost always have loyalty bonuses payable when they leave providing they don't hand in an official request.

That's why there is so often a stand off when a player wants to leave but a club doesn't want to see. Club says hand in a request and forfeit your (sometimes) multi million bonus. Player says no but communicate through their agent that they want out.

I personally don't think Rushworth is premier league quality, in fact I think there is just as good keepers playing for other championship clubs. As for £20 million it is too much. Rushworth has been playing for us and is playing in a winning team, but in the premier he will possibly be playing in a losing team, can he handle that. We have all seen how keepers more than any other position suffer with mental health issues and lack of confidence, he is still very young and if we have Dovin and Rushworth they are too simmilar in age and ability. Dovin should be back for next season so we need an experienced keeper. In fact i would possibly spend more money on an experienced international keeper from abroad that can stand the pressure.

Genuine question, have you watched a single game we’ve played this season?

He'll need time what ever happens. We'll probably have to write him off until January at least next season.

Yes I have seen most but have you read my thread, because you are not listening to what I am saying. Rushworth has been immense for us this season but he is playing in a winning team in the championship. This is not the premier league, he has never played in the premier league and already CCFC fans are saying he is England No.1. He has had a very good season but next season if he joins us and is No.1 he will be under the cosh and could quite easily lose confidence. If we were not promoted he is by far the best option but if he is promoted with us and we sign him I tell you something which is 100% nailed-on, FL will sign an established international or premier league keeper, because in a month of Sundays you cannot rely on Dovin and Rushworth to keep us in the premier league.

Did Sunderland sign an established Prem Keeper this year?

 

[wingy]

Of course, and your point is? He is playing in a winning team, we would possibly be where we are now if Dovin had been playing. He has played only loans till now, none for Brighton only Div 1 and championship. Unfortunately Dickie you are like so many city fans you wear sky blue glasses and possibly you are young so haven't seen any decent goalkeepers play for us or you only watch CCFC and don't see other teams keepers. The Saints lad, also on loan is just as good as Rushworth. There are many good keepers out there and if we win promotion full foreign-based internationals would be queuing to join us.

Is he the same chap that was getting pelters earlier on in the season?

Just nonsense on stilts
