I think Charles would be a good signing depending on fee.

He’s a good goalie, he made a great save against us to prevent us winning at Hillsborough in 4th round in 23/24.

My view is that ideally, we get an experienced prem GK to deputise Rushworth, a profile like Jason Steele/Darlow.

Rushworth will make the step up imo, but we need a Plan B in case he struggles. I’d like to see Dovin given a shot on loan somewhere because I have faith he could make the step up but he’s been out of it for a long time.

I’d keep Wilson as 3rd choice for the vibes.

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · 2026-04-14T13:06:18+0100

Hear me out… rather than spending 15m on Rushworth. Let’s just go for Neuer for a year - 150k a week

The answer to your question is literally there in the post you quoted.

Because he won't play unless our 1st choice is injured.

He needs to play to develop into a first choice keeper. He won't do that sat on our bench all season.

harvey098 · 2026-04-14T13:10:35+0100

My guess would be Dovin #2, Wilson #3 and we’ll sign a new #1.

I guess we have a small chance of gettting Rushworth back on another loan but I imagine we’ll probably end up with someone else.

Rushworth for £20m or Charles and Dubravka for £5m total?

As said above, the actual figure lobbed about inside the club is £220 million when you lump everything in. Mental

Anyway my take on the window

Going

Wilson
Woolfenden
Brau
Allen
Torp
Simms

Esse and Yang going back

There's still hope inside the club that Rushworth will return and theres a deal to be done, hes made it clear he wants to come back so let's hope so

If that happens add to him
2 CB
1 LB
2 CM
1 CAM
1 Winger
1 ST

Dasilva will be here as stand in, as will KKH. KKH Pace and physicality will stand him in good stead if need to be called upon

Is Bidwell deliberately missing from the list of outgoings?

Rushworth all day. I don’t think he’ll go for more than £10-15m + add-ons.

Charles is not ready for the Prem and he’s not better than Dovin. Dubravka was actually a GK I had in mind to be fair but in your scenario, he’d clearly be number 1.

Think we need 3 strikers

I actually echo this.

I do wonder whether, if we are actively seeking two GKs, whether we'll look at the profile similar to the above. A bit of a more experienced head which in theory can 'compete' with Rushworth or another.

Dovin definitely needs a loan move. He's been out for far too long to potentially sit on the bench for a full season and make the odd cameo in a cup game - plus it would be a huge risk having to call on him to deputise if our No.1. was sidelined for an extended period.

We’ve needed 3 strikers every window for the past 3-4 years…

Yes, I noticed that..a bit of a mincey run up.

Terry Gibson's perm · 2026-04-14T13:22:21+0100

I bet we get linked with Messlier at Leeds

We need to get as much Prem/top division experience in the squad as possible. There will be gems in the Championship and elsewhere but ultimately, we don’t want to be a perennial boing boing team.

Mat Ryan could be a decent option as #2 keeper.

Separately, and in no way a rumour, but an interesting option in midfield could be Cristian Casseres from Toulouse. Looks decent stats-wise and can do a bit of everything.

wingy · 2026-04-14T13:42:30+0100

Couldn't that be because of anomaly of the break in the season ,Broda glimpt also had a pretty good run?

I don’t think we can count on Dovin being number 2 with his injury. He’s not even been back this season. Reckon we will have to sign 2 keepers.

Frank Lampard wants Chelsea player as his first signing after Coventry win promotion

Would be a great move for him!

Makes really no sense as one of our 2 loans.

SBAndy · 2026-04-14T14:00:22+0100

Another keeper option could be Nacho Miras. Quite frankly ridiculous keeping stats in Belgium.

If Brighton sign a 40 year old Manuel Neuer (which they won’t), I’d think it more likely they’d be doing that because want an experienced senior goalkeeper for 1 year to mentor Rushworth as their number 1 with Verbruggen leaving. A continental Scott Carson, a Karl Wagensohn if you will.

Neuer is still playing at the highest level, they're not going to bring him in for any reason other than to play in reality.

Are Wednesday still in the position where they have to accept any "reasonable" fee due to the administrators? Or does that finish when the season ends ?

It only finishes when they are out of administration, which doesn't look like is happening any time soon. Even when they are, who knows whether they will need some cashflow anyway to help a squad rebuild.

You aren't getting PL experience on the cheap though. Much better value abroad

No thanks because I won’t be held responsible if instead of “Nacho Nacho Man” for his chant we end up with some four verse abomination about him being on the wing making city sing.

Alkhen · 2026-04-14T15:53:23+0100

He badly need to play after his injury, there is no way he'll be no.1 and there is no point sticking him on the bench. A loan to a top end Champ club would be wise. He'll get game time and worse comes to the worst and we go straight back down we'll have a keeper with proper league experience

SleepyGinger · 2026-04-14T16:50:25+0100

Never seen him play but he’s very highly rated Jesse Derry

Id rather sign someone like Nwaneri or Paez if we are gonna sign and develop someone elses loan

Zan Vipotnik at Swansea is being valued at £15m by Swansea, would anyone be interested in the player for this fee?

Yes if he can reproduce his goalscoring form in the Premier League but that will remain unknown unless a PL team takes a gamble on him.

If Brighton keep Rushworth.

With the experience that Manuel Neuer has, he would be our first choice keeper, he would be a great mentor for Dovin.

Would be funny if we could gazump Brighton.

Just my thoughts.

do we think Doug has snuck in a sneaky promotion buy clause for Rushworth? wouldn't put it past him...

I really genuinely do
