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

If we go up I think he'll sign, but will cost a lot more than the 5 mil we supposedly offered in the summer

there may have been an agreement to loan until jan then purchase?

If ee don't go up I don't see us having the budget for Rushworth, Dovin and Wilson.

He's on long contract and happy to warm the bench.
I doubt he's going anywhere.

Rushworth has more than earned his spot now. It's good really as it means we don't have to rush Dovin back.

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.
