so, when Dovin comes back to fitness...would we just see him on the bench for the foreseeable? (personally hope we push to purchase Carl in Jan)
Rushworth will play out the season.. barring any dramatic form loss/injury
We have probably missed the boat to sign him permanently though which is a shame
there may have been an agreement to loan until jan then purchase?
ok lets just get rid of wilsonIf ee don't go up I don't see us having the budget for Rushworth, Dovin and Wilson.

From everything i have read from both Brighton and Rushworth i would be astounded if there is any buy clause involved.Given that Doug is a trader by nature, it’s hard to believe he would have agreed to a loan deal without any option to buy — especially considering his clear stance on loan players since he arrived.
Our business model has always been built around using first-team opportunities to increase the value of our own players, allowing us to sell them on for profit.
Doug isn’t naive; he’d have known that if Carl performed exceptionally well, his market value would soar — and the club wouldn’t benefit from that development.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we structured a deal along the lines of: we initially bid £6m, it was rejected, and Brighton asked for £8m. So perhaps we agreed to a loan with a clause — something like, if we get promoted, we’ll have the option to buy at that £8m valuation. That way, both sides win.
I feel pretty sure Brighton are keeping him and see him as their next first choice goalie maybe not next season but soon enough, he is still very young for a goalie.Given that Doug is a trader by nature, it’s hard to believe he would have agreed to a loan deal without any option to buy — especially considering his clear stance on loan players since he arrived.

He keeps going out on loan. That's a big upheaval each season. I can't see how he would prefer to play for a different club each season than join someone like us where he would have a permanent club especially as we're going places.He's on long contract and happy to warm the bench.
I doubt he's going anywhere.
I don't totally blame him for the penalty. He doesn't know what's going on behind him and seemed to get the ball first. If the player had cut the ball back it would have been for an empty net.No rush, bar any weird loan breaks or recall we have him until the end of the season. He's been in good form but not flawless, the pen lunge Saturday was pretty naive. I'd take him 100% on perm but in Jan if budget is tight I'd rather direct that at adding to the squad depth to try and push for promotion this season. If we do go up then we'll have plenty to spend to secure him. I'd not write off Dovin either. He was getting better and better until the injury.

There's no agreement on him moving to us permanently but his contract is getting shorter. They have a younger GK ahead of him. They will most probably sell him in the next 18 months. The snag is the asking price, but if we get promoted we would need him to have a decent chance of staying up.
Dovin? You never know how a player will be after a bad injury and time out of the game. But a very good back up for Rushworth and would have to wait for his chance.
