Transfer Rumour Carl Rushworth - Permanent (2 Viewers)

[SBAndy]

Good news. With these things, though, I always wonder whether the sell-on is written out of the buy back. It would make sense that you don’t get a cut of a pre-agreed price that you’re paying.

Just spotted him at Ryton.

Had a Tesco bag with him.


As he forgot his gloves and had to come collect them

That tesco bag you thought you seen was in fact the home shirt

Go on show your workings

The likelihood of Rushworth wanting to go back to Brighton is zero

It's brilliant that it looks like we've got him, but in worst case scenario and we
Verbruggen goes to replace neuer...
that move back suddenly looks a lot more appealing for someone trying to get in st George's park.

Not true uness i hear it from Harriot

Imagine buying someone's 4th choice keeper for £30m. Brighton have had our pants down good and proper.

It will be worth every penny.

We hope.

Man City agreed a £31m fee for Trafford but then got their sell on fee deducted so paid £27m

 

[StrettoBoy]

Unless they make him signing an agreement to return part of the deal

Absolutely. It’s the only way you can make it work.

we could have gone for other keepers but kept pushing here , we dont buy on sentiment and we already know hes a tremendous keeper

I believe he will be in the england setup within 12 months

Theyre an incredibly astute club with great recruitment. The fact hes 4th choice and a potential England no1 is testament to that. Money well spent i say

His status at Brighton is irrelevant, we know he's a top young keeper who is potentially an England prospect. I'm not sure where you've got £30m from either.

I don't think it works like that. If there is a buy back clause it's likely to be 30% to 50% higher than the original selling price so lets say for an example, £40M.
If another club shows serious interest in signing him for more than that, Brighton would most likely activate the clause, sell him on, and take the profit.
If we get relegated but Rushford has a brilliant season he might want to leave, to stay in the PL, in that case Brighton would have the option to buy back, keep him, or sell him on.
We as the buying club would very likely have insisted that milestones, for example being picked to play for England, will increase the buy-back fee, thus giving us an incentive to develop him and thereby increasing his value, which it turn would benefit Brighton.
Sell on clauses within contracts have to comply with standard employment law so I guess CR would have to agree the contract terms up front.
Another point is the contract must comply with PL rules, so can only be triggered in a transfer window.
Edit: I forgot to add that usually buy backs have a finite term which will be specified in the contract, so possibly that would be the length of his remaining contract?? not sure on that.

I don't understand how anyone can watch the season he's just had with us and still come out with this

 

[Liquid Gold]

I think some of you need to wise up a bit and work out when you're being wound up.

Still think the music means the ice cream van has sold out?

 

[Macca1987]

What would the meltdown on here be if Rushworth failed his medical

 

[Il Pirata]

You can’t moan about the fee AND a buy-back.

SBT: challenge accepted

 

[fernandopartridge]

Just looking at the Birmingham forum, they're reckon we're being fleeced and Jeremy Beadle is worth more next summer

Heard that they were going to let him go for £20 million and no buy back clause but then they read your post and added £10 mil

That’s one way of looking at it. Another is that we’ve spent up to £30m on a Championship POTS runner up. For context, Burnley paid £19m for Trafford out of L1 and that turned out to be a great signing.

Upon reflection, the initial fee of £22.5m is not too bad. Particularly, if we’ve spread out the instalments and I wouldn’t mind paying extra to spread the costs a bit. Likewise, if we hit the incentives, he’s probably been a good signing for us.

The transfer market is fucked because Prem teams, even middling clubs like BHA, have ‘FU money’. Our perspective as a fan base just cannot fathom spending £20m plus on players when 4 seasons ago our marquee signing was Kasey Palmer on a free transfer…

They may have a point…

Which of the current England keepers do you think he's better than and will replace? He's was magnificent last season in a team that dominated. Time will tell if he will be as good in a team that's most likely to be struggling.

You could make that same argument against Trafford.

If £27m for Trafford following the 24/25 season is ‘fair’, it actually isn’t that much of a stretch to value Rushworth at £30m.

Same age and their last Championship season were comparable. By all accounts Burnley 24/25 were a much superior defensive unit than us. To be clear, even 24/25 Trafford is a better imo.

On the England question, probably won’t happen for a couple of years until after he earns his stripes. The FA rate him v highly though.

It's not as though England have a bunch of world class keepers. Pickford and co are decent but compared to the 3 that were in Spains WC squad not at that standard.

 

[skyblue025]

They aren't the same age. Trafford is 23, Rushworth 25. Not sure the FA rate him that highly as they took Brightons No 2 to the World Cup who has played a total of 35 league games in the last 8 seasons and is 35. I'd love you to be right but I think he's a long way off an England cap.

 

[Evo1883]

Nothing about buyback

 

[Blake]

It said Brighten agreed to a buy back. I have no idea, but is it possible that it's something we could trigger if we go down and can't afford to keep him?

 

[SkyBlueSam01]

Delighted with this, if nothing else because it means we won't have to hear 'the team is currently weaker than it was at the end of the season ' again until at least this time next year

To be fair, you also said you were glad we didn’t pay £5m for him last August.

he says bizarre things on the match threads to be fair.
