Imagine he does go back and we Play Brighton with him as Keeper in the first game ? I would hope he would get a massive reception from the CBS - it’s not like Hamer or Ohare who left chasing money he would have had no choice - it’s a very possible scenario if we don’t get him

Club Legend. Undoubtedly.

I've lost track of how loans between Prem clubs work? Is that not an option. Would give Brighton chance to see if he could cut the mustard, I mean if he can hack it at a newly promoted team who'll probably be under the cosh most games he can make it anywhere.

I guess or other hope is we can convince them to sell him to us with a favourable buyback/massive sell-on. Does seem a bit far fetched.

Nothing in it for Brighton.

If they sell their keeper, they need a replacement, which is what they'll see Rushworth as. I'd imagine if they want to keep him, and keep him happy, they need some guarantees of first team football for him next year.

Also, I wouldn't want a player on a buy-back. Sell-on fees, yes, but a buy-back is not much more than a glorified loan.
