I've lost track of how loans between Prem clubs work? Is that not an option. Would give Brighton chance to see if he could cut the mustard, I mean if he can hack it at a newly promoted team who'll probably be under the cosh most games he can make it anywhere.
I guess or other hope is we can convince them to sell him to us with a favourable buyback/massive sell-on. Does seem a bit far fetched.

Nothing in it for Brighton.
If they sell their keeper, they need a replacement, which is what they'll see Rushworth as. I'd imagine if they want to keep him, and keep him happy, they need some guarantees of first team football for him next year.
Also, I wouldn't want a player on a buy-back. Sell-on fees, yes, but a buy-back is not much more than a glorified loan.
He’s Brightons asset
We’d need to want him I’m sure we do
We’d need to make a bid I’m sure we will
If acceptable we talk to player and agent
If not we move on

Sounds like agent talk, but I maintain if we do get him it’s going to be a massive coup.

Six Premier League clubs in for Championship star loved by Chelsea legend
Brighton goalkeeper Carl Rushworth is attracting interest from as many as six Premier League clubs, talkSPORT understands. Rushworth has spent the season on loan at Coventry City and has been a rev…

When? He never made an England squad. Played 45 mins at Wembley for the Football League XI vs the Rest of The World in 1987-88 but that was it.
I would be pretty amazed if we manage to sign him, unfortunately he has just been too good!
If Carl wants us and we want him it will happen
I want him.
Shilton, Woods, Bailey, Seaman, Beasant were always ahead in that era.
Even a league winning GK in Lukic never got a look in.
Different times!
Sure he got a call-up, but then got his first injury for about seven years.
Depends doesn’t it? A season with us where he’s comfortable and guaranteed football could double his value and get him a move to a big club.
It's a bit of a risk on their part as he's untested at that level.
Fucks sake can’t believe I’ve talked myself around.
He’s not staying. This will only end in tears.

60/40 in our favour I reckon
We just need to go up and champions him win player of the season
if 6 prem teams are interested we would pay the least out of them all fee and wage wise
The difference is after this season especially Rushworth will want to play. With us he is No.1, but elsewhere just warming the bench or going out on loan like all his time spent with Brighton. It's too much to ask a player that plays a prominent role in promotion/Champions of the Championship to go back to the Championship.
Rushworth is untested at Prem level. We fit like a glove. Rushworth has reached the stage in his career where it's take the money or play. He would still become rich with us, just at a slower rate

Knowing our luck Wrexham go up in the playoffs, sign him and he saves a penalty against us last game to send us down.
They certainly are in control of the situation, but Brighton could well be left with the choice of making Rushworth their No.1 or letting him go.
Keepers are always a bit of a tricky one to find a PL landing spot for. Generally some very good keepers across the board.
Start with the clubs who wouldn’t even consider Rushworth as #1:
Arsenal
Man City
Man Utd
Liverpool
Chelsea
Spurs (league dependent!)
Then some of the clubs who have perfectly good keepers and Rushworth probably wouldn’t give them a day 1 upgrade:
Brentford
Everton
Fulham
Sunderland
Palace
And clubs who may be in the market for a keeper but it’s unlikely to be Rushworth:
Villa
Newcastle
And finally, clubs where he may get the #1 jersey but would be mad to move there:
Forest
West Ham
So realistically, you’re looking at staying at Brighton or a move to Bournemouth or Leeds. I’d say the last one may well be the answer.

It's a massive if, it is pretty unlikely. How many teams realistically sign a goalkeeper in the summer.
I think a loan with a very easily triggered call back is the best we can hope for really.
Brighton know he’s a future England keeper - they’re not selling him, it’s just whether they think the best thing for his development would be a starter at a relegation team he feels comfortable at or being eased in within their own set up as a squad player that gets cup minutes and injury cover. Let’s hope it’s the former.

Our best chance is for a mutually beneficial agreement i.e. stack the deal with reasonable fee, buy back clause, england appearance fees, first refusal when an offer is matched, huge sell on % etc
If we get there and he saves us 10 points and keeps us up its paid dividends even if we dont benefit so much in the future
