Transfer Rumour Carl Rushworth - Permanent (7 Viewers)

What follows is total speculation on my part - so it’s probably nonsense - but I wonder if the way out of the impasse is a season-long loan to us with an obligation to buy if we stay up.

We could, for example, pay a loan fee of £5 million and have a purchase price of £25 million. I don’t think we would have much to lose because, let’s face it, if we buy him now and get relegated he will want a transfer to a Premiership team. With a second season in the top flight we will be better placed financially to afford the £30 million that Brighton supposedly want.

Personally I’d be happy with this.
If we pay £5m and get related we've paid £5m for nothing.

If we pay £30m and get relegated we have a £30m asset on the books to move on.

A loan is the worst possible outcome.

I’m sure Brighton won’t sanction another loan unless Rushworth extends his contract with them but if he is happy to do that - which he may not be - it’s not a problem for us under what I suggested.

@Ccfcisparks

We may well be able to afford £30 million now but saving £25 million or whatever this season will enable us to strengthen the team elsewhere.

I can't see him signing another contract unless he is going to be their No.1 GK. He's had enough of being loaned out. If he signs another contract without any guarantees he would be in the same position but until about the age of 30.

No we haven’t. We would have paid the loan fee - whatever it may be - for Rushworth’s services for a year.

Don’t get me wrong, I want to buy him but I’d rather do a deal along the lines I suggested- which, as I said, is pure speculation - than not have him at all. With a bit of luck Dovin could be fit for the following season.
 
I'll chose to wait for journos, who seem to have covered this transfer at every turn, rather than get a chub on from blokes posting 'today's the day' on here.

Half the journos are getting content straight off this site.
One more noticeable than others

Is it bad that I wouldn't even think of him as transfer journalist for our club?

I'm thinking more about Ben Jacobs, Sami Mokbel & Fabrizio

Of course if isnt a problem for us. It just wont happen. He will either stay there or be sold. No other options.

Tony Bloom checking Doug’s latest offer of 50k up front, instalments, incentives, goal bonuses and other obscure add ons to see if it adds up to £30 million.

Still no buyback clause.

And he may only be worth £25m or less if he doesn’t prove himself at that level. Or he could be worth £40m but we can’t capitalise on the profit because it goes to Brighton. Worst outcome is doing the wrong deal to buy IMHO

Where does that team finish
 
Their other "exclusives" have not come to pass or been reported anywhere else
Probably having a crack at this one because it more than likely will happen (eventually).

They're taking a punt, no one will remember if they are inaccurate and if they guess right they can point to the story as being because they're ITK.
