Transfer Rumour Carl Rushworth - Permanent (2 Viewers)

[DannyThomas_1981]

I rated Fulop, though he wasn't here long thought he was a really solid keeper.

Shame he passed so young.

100% agree on this Liquid Gold. I was also very impressed by David Stockdale during his very short emergency loan - showed what a class confident keeper should look like.

You see the Ipswich player wheeling away celebrating before his hands go up in disbelief

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Hopefully they release the Rushworth signing with our new striker taking shots at him.

Only worry there would be to see Rushworth save them all easily from our new £70 million striker or alternatively the new bloke shooting all over the place at Ryton apart from the nets - that would be so CCFC.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Well that's that over at last!

I thought £15m max but there seems to be a big inflation this summer with the new spending rules.

It's a huge gamble really. £20m odd rising to £30m is an awful lot to put into one position and only an injury away from losing the lot. It'll restrict what we do elsewhere on the pitch too. LB needs addressing pretty badly and probably a CB and cover for Grimes/Onyeka. I'm not sure at all.

We’re already £20m over budget for this summer, very concerning

The buy-back might help us too if we're somehow we're relegated.

I think the advantage would all fall on Brighton's side, say it's set at £40m as an example I would have thought they can bid whatever they like and we can tell them to do one up until they hit that point and we then have to accept.

(I could also be absolutely miles off and have no actual idea how these work which is more likely)

 

[TomRad85]

Such a shame that save was wasted on the worst performance of the season. Although at 0-0 we 100% get a pen with VAR.

So to confirm, does a buy back mean that if Brighton bid at a certain price they automatically get him back?

Only if the player wants to go

It’s basically a release clause that only Brighton can activate.

Rushworth would still need to agree a contract with Brighton but we couldn’t say no if Brighton bid the required amount (normally these things can only be activated after a couple of seasons).

 

[standupforcity]

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

'astute club'... Vik sale?

 

[ajsccfc]

I imagine a team wouldn't bother triggering the clause without already knowing what the player wants to do, which I thought used to be tapping up but seems to just happen freely these days for some reason

Hmm…hoping it’s a lot of money and Rushworth loves us too much then

 

[JSL]

There appears to be no buy back from what I have read from the latest 'Its done (but its not really)' articles which is great

 

[Loughborough Sky Blue]

i liked Marosi, thought his shot stopping and distribution was good to be fair.

I liked him because he lived over my back fence - and his wife was fit too.

I think we will sell 1 or 2 to offset this.

Don't worry, Doug's brothers, girlfriends, second cousins hairdresser reckons Doug has just bought a nice suit jacket from the charity shop and found a crisp £50 tucked away in the inside pocket

 

[Ricketts]

On great goalkeeping performances with consequences. Don’t forget Oggie away at White Hart Lane that kept us up snd sent Sunderland down

If we are selling players on, then the wages will help with new players wages and buying fees

And the FAC semi. We could have been 3-0 down by the time Gynn equalised. Oggy was immense, topped off by the save from Edwards late on.

well at least you knew when you could pop over and give her a seeing to !

 

[Lamps]

You don't buy a Ferrari when you can't afford the service bills Could we afford an injury to Rushworth? I highly doubt it. That's what I mean by a gamble.

Then any GK we would have signed would have been a gamble as we won't bring in another that would be at the Prem level.

I know Dovin has been out a long time, but GK is a position you don't expect to get injuries.

 

[wingy]

Michael Quirke?

Our number one at the time (can't remember if it was Westwood or Murphy then) got injured, we signed an emergency loan keeper and he got injured after 5 mins, so Quirke came on for his debut, think he was only 17.

Murphy I think.

I think the one at Anfield (same year) when we won 1-2 was even better. Liverpool were going for the title were on fire at the time. Our goal was peppered throughout the entire game. No idea how we won it but it was mostly down to Oggy. I still have visions of Dion trying to sort his feet out and tap it in from about a yard away. That was one of my favourite away games of all time.

David James 2 calamities

 

[long way home]

Would be interesting to see what percentage of the total fee initially we have paid for the 4 signings. Would of thought its at least 20 mill

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Murphy I think.

I think it was Westwood, It was when Boothroyd was pulling rank on Westwood because he wouldn't sign a new contract, so we signed Iain Turner? I think - he got injured so we had to play Quirke

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Been going 92/93 and can confidently say he'll go on to be the best keeper to have played for us.

Did any seniors watch Reg Matthews?

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

See I thought about that one before my post. I'd put that as being the most famous for sure. But the speed of movement for the Rushworth save is astonishing.

Bank's save from Pele is the best save I've ever seen.

Bang on the money BBC Sport - Football - Watford 2-2 Coventry

I think Murphy came in for the season after?

 

[StrettoBoy]

I wonder who it was he saved a fifth of a goal against

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

I still think he's not going to get to that header.

 

[DT-R]

I liked him because it meant we didnt need to watch Lee Burge any more! Also, the amusement seeing the glee on Sundlerlands faces when they thought theyd scooped the deal of the century by "stealing Coventrys No1 off of them"! that was short lived!

Im not sure Dovin is anything more than slightly above average TBH

Even when he played i found his shot stopping decent but was poor on crosses stayed stationary on his line and his handling was just decent .

His distribution was good

I think if we had dovin in goal last season we dont get 95 points

Disagree.

I’ll happily agree that he had a slow start but without his performances in Jan-Feb, we don’t make the playoffs. He had a lot of metrics that indicated he was a top 5 Championship keeper at that moment in time.

Rushworth is a better keeper so it’s worked well in the end. We’ll make a neat profit on Dovin imo, providing he recovers properly.

I know Dovin has been out a long time, but GK is a position you don't expect to get injuries.

Rushworth out for ages with injury in 23/24 when on loan to Hull.
