Not sure on the strength of the source. Think AFC is talking about Brighton after a top keeper though isnt he?

Lots of reports on the Brighton side that they will be selling Verbruggen in the summer and Rushworth will become their #1, which is very feasible.

I think it’s likely a case of enjoy him while he’s here. Don’t ever fall in love with a loan player.

I've heard this. Posted it last week and name checked the ITKs to see if they'd heard anything but they didn't reply.

the advantage he has by moving to us, rather than new contract at brighton, is that he's trusted here. that counts for a lot as a goalkeeper. it allows you the odd mistake as the club and fans know how good you are. he gets first team at brighton, say they start the season poorly, say there are a couple that he might have done better with, all of a sudden their fans are wanting a more experienced goalkeeper in. a prem club has 2 or 3 goalkeeprs who should be good enough to start games so it is easier to be dropped if you dont perform well.

he does they same for us we will be patient as we all know his quality.

it also helps that it has already happened to him once. great season at swansea- went to hull to be their number 1. only played 3 games that season.

i think our best chance was trying to get him on a loan with a buy option. and tbf to doug he went for it but it was refused by brighton

The first bit is evident with James Trafford at Man City. Appreciate it’d take a brave man to turn down the opportunity to sign Donnarumma but the fact he made a couple of errors early on pretty much sealed his fate. As I’ve said previously, if Rushworth isn’t available he’s who I’d be looking at.

He was who i suggested - even with Rushworth available. Trafford on loan would be a great signing.

He won player of the year for Blues and I’m sure they all thought “he loves it here”.

Brighton aren’t silly - he’s a future England number 1. There’s no way they will let him go imo.

If he helps us up then everyone’s a winner really.

At the end of the day they hold the cards. He can say he wants to leave but how much is he prepared to force it, especially if the alternative is being first choice at Brighton?

He already going down but Thomas catches his back foot

No real this is what is happening, lots of "we could do this" though

Brighton likely don't know what they are doing yet, it'll depend on Rushworth signing a new deal with them, Their current keeper getting an offer they are happy with.

It's a case of let's see but he could end up here if we get promoted

I haven't seen it on this video but surely if he is already going down when Thomas catches his foot then it is a dive & referee was 100% right.

I think that’s how I saw it
Wouldn’t have been surprised at all to see it given he had kicked the ball away though

lovely stuff at the end from rushworth, no doubt been given dogs abuse by their fans and gave a bit back at the end.
reminded me of the "you like that did you big boy?" from frank to the stoke fan earlier in the season

There was one angle on sky last night which clearly shows Thomas effectively air kicks Campbell’s foot - he did the ‘move foot towards defenders to initiate contact’ but missed basically. 100% dive.

Slap the contract on the table give him whatever he wants and slap £20m on the table when we go up, if we went back down he’d be worth double that anyways so we’d at least recoup our money

Campbells right leg is too wide and not in a natural position for me, it's like he push his leg out hoping to catch Thomas's foot. Looks like it was an air kick to me when Sky repeated it from the side view.

So if he asks for 250 k a week the club just gives him that lol. An unproven at keeper at PL level . I doubt Brighton will let him go and promote him to first choice if as looks likely they sell their current keeper during the summer.

Yeah he pulls it back himself rather than Thomas kicking through it.

'Unproven at PL level'? Surely GK is the only position that doesn't need any further inquest when you've witnessed the calibre?

I'd say he's more than capable of playing at prem level.

I'd say he's probably a top 5 English goalkeeper at the moment as well

There are reports that a top European team is prepared to pay £50 million for Verbruggen, so Brighton plan to sell him and keep Rushworth. It’s bad news for us but I would do the same in their shoes.

I do rate Dovin though, so if he comes back as the player he was then it’s not the end of the world. I reckon that with another couple of years experience Dovin won’t be too far behind Rushworth.

That’s what I’m hoping for anyway

I’d be tempted to loan Dovin to the Championship for a season to give him that experience that he’s missed out on. It also gives him time to get back to where he was and he gets valuable minutes rather than sat on a bench, because if worst came to worst and we went back down we’d have a Championship ready keeper
