Transfer Rumour Carl Rushworth (20 Viewers)

[Lamps]

If we’re still in the championship then yes? Possibly bell will have come on by then or maybe we bring in an experienced number 2? It’s a lot more sensible than signing a GK for 6 million when we’ve already got a very good one.

On your line of thinking why would an experienced GK want to come to us just to be a No.2?

If he does come to us on loan and proves he is an excellent GK it would be mental not to try and sign him. A GK can win/lose you more points than any other position. Look at the difference between Dovin and Collins.

An experienced number 2 as in someone who has experience of being a back up. Someone fairly reliable but importantly cheap because he won’t be playing ideally.

In that scenario we would be completely giving up on Dovin which to me is mental.

 

[Lamps]

What team in world football has 2 equally good goalies? Has a team ever been successful rotating their goalies? My point is that I don’t see the point in spending a decent chunk of our limited budget on a GK when in my opinion we already have a very good one.

I said if we win promotion and he is excellent. If we get promoted we would have the funds.

Lots of clubs have 2 very good GK's. The higher up you go the more it happens. GK's do get injured. Last season we had both Dovin and Wilson injured at the same time. The injuries are not normally as bad as the one Dovin got though.

All of this means nothing yet though. He hasn't signed for us yet and we don't even know if he is as good as what we think. But if he is, that mentioned £6m would be a bargain and would shoot up in value.

can see the argument if we get promoted and he plays a big part. Without promotion though it’s a non starter.

 

[Lamps]

There’s 1 team in the world imo who’s done that and it’s Liverpool. It’s not functional for us to have two high costing goalkeepers

Dovin would cost us £2.4m if all targets are met. That isn't a lot of money.

It is if we don’t go up

 

[SleepyGinger]

I’d imagine he’ll end up being worth a lot more than that. Also would have signed here to be a number 1.

And on the other hand if we got promoted and he has an excellent season his value could well go up unless we have an agreement at a certain price on promotion. Would we still want him if it would cost us £10m or more? If he had a great season there would be Prem sides interested.

All we have is ifs and buts.

 

[Lamps]

Would it be £2.4m if we don't get promoted?

Well let’s be honest neither you or I know that.

 

[Lamps]

I fully agree. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't look at bringing in the best players we can afford to.

 

[Lamps]

Well let’s be honest neither you or I know that.

I am being honest. It wasn't me who said £2.4m for a reserve GK in the Championship

 

[steve cooper]

Well it’s not the same because baring injury a good gk will play every minute of a season. No decent goalie is going to be happy as a number 2 here. It’s the same reason Kelleher has left Liverpool.

Which is the reason Wilson is ok at no.2 as long as he doesn't play

 

[Robinshio]

ffs re-read that, from that logic they may as well put sky blue sam as number 2 !!!

Wake up man, it's you that needs to re-read it.
It was meant to be a sarcastic comment to the remark that a good keeper will play every game barring injury, and no good keeper will be happy being no.2

 

[EalingSB]

A new GK is absolutely essential with Dovin missing for half-a-season. Still think we would have been promoted had Dovin been fit he made that much of a difference. Can’t start the season with Wilson and Collins needs to move for his own good.

 

[Captain Dart]

Of course a 12 month loan would be perfect. But how about in 12 months? Go back to Dovin and Wilson?

Not if City get promoted.

We were chatting to some Blues fans at Crewe yesterday and even they admitted they would prefer Ruhworth to Beadle. He would greatly improve us from what we have available right now

Why'd you go to a Crewe v Blues match?

 

[Balli001]

Why'd you go to a Crewe v Blues match?

Since the early 90s we have been to a lot of Crewe games as our second team. So we go there 3-4 times a year

Who has said we dont want two quality right backs?

Quite a few on here. Just open your eyes. All over the place.
We can't have 2 rbs competing as they'll get fed up on the bench.
We can't have another CM in Pereira unless we offload Sheaf, Allen and Eccles as they'll be too many!
And the meltdown over not 1, not 2, but THREE LBs. My goodness!

No I have seen plenty of people saying a club our size WONT have two quality right backs and they fully expect us to sell MVE.

 

[JSL]

Potentially 5 keepers with Rushworth hopefully coming in

Bell would be loaned out and Collins will be put on Ebay

Agree with Collins but free to collect in a FB group. Feel a bit for Bell. He has potential but we need more that potential with our immediate ambitions

Potentially 6.

Not as bad as the thread you started where 62% have voted they would be happy for Wilson to start the season and not bring in another GK. Collins as No.2

It's as though nearly 2/3 of us have forgotten what happened after Dovin got injured.

Would a 1p reserve be too high?

Glad to see Lampard and the coaching staff agreed with the 38% of us

Has this guy actually signed?

Not yet no. Decent sources saying we are though

No! Think he's away with Brighton!!
