Not true though is it? He could get injured, he could run down his contract, he could lose form, that could have been his peak season.

I’m a bit hesitant over signing Rushworth for £15-20m. Unless he goes on to become one of the top 10 in the world then you probably don’t turn a meaningful profit. And it’s a lot of cash to sink into a goalkeeper.

Don't know if Lille are much of a comparison,but AC Milan forked out 16M on Maignan when they bought him from there

The top 5 English goal keeper fees

1) Trafford (22) - £31m - 38 PL apps
2) Pickford (23) - £30m - 31 PL apps
3) Ramsdale (23) - £30m - 75 PL apps
4) Henderson (25) - £20m - 36 PL apps
5) Ramsdale (19) - £18m - 37 PL apps

All had PL experience.

Then drops down to £12m - Forster -

Given he will be 25 in the summer there is no precedent that he will increase his value if we paid £20m as peak values seem to be largely u23.

For me signing Rushworth isn’t about turning a meaningful profit, it’s about keeping us in the prem and having a reliable number 1 keeper.

Is 15-20 million a lot? Of course but if we have any chance of staying in the league those are the figures we’re looking at.

So could any player? Should we just not sign any players?

No, just pointing out it's not 0 chance we don't make our money back. Historic record Fees for English keepers suggests that we probably wouldn't make a profit on £20m, which would be the joint 4th highest ever fee paid for an English keeper, and one that hasn't made a single PL appearance.

Not really many do. I did a post on this in November. Around half, if not more, of starting GKs in the PL cost less than £20m.

We all want to sign Rushworth, but £20m is a huge fee for a GK that's never even played in the PL.

Because of age. Trafford 22, Ramsdale 19 & 23, Pickford 23, Henderson 25.

Ramsdale and Henderson saw their fees reduce, Trafford and Pickford havent moved.

There's only 4 English keepers that have cosy £20m+

Trafford
Pickford
Ramsdale - subsequently moved to Southampton at a loss (£24-30m to £15-20m)
Henderson - subsequently moved to Palace at a loss (£20m to £15m)

Carl isn’t stupid. He’s guaranteed no 1 here will get a full season and if we’re relegated he’s put himself in the window for another PL move easy. He’s only got 1 year at Brighton and if he wants us the move will happen to us as they will cash in rather than let him go on a free. They will get £30m probably for their current Bart and £15m tops from us.

Have a word with yourself. Burnley spent over £111 million. Admittedly they didn't spend it wisely which is why they are now screwed but there's no chance we only spend less than half that.

Only 12 clubs had a net spend of over £50m last summer. Wages need to be paid on top, previous losses covered £20m in the last financial year, probably the same this season, ground updates etc etc. I just can't see it being a lot more. I think we all want financial security for the club in the future...

Of course ‘meaningful profit’ isn’t the key factor, but my wider point is you can probably get a keeper who’s just as good for 50% of the fee we’re talking about.

In the last 3 seasons every promoted team has spent above £50m except for Luton.

Transfer Rumour - 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

Doyle's rating on FotMob for 24/25 was 7.09, Kitching's was 6.91. Doyle played 40 games to Kitching's 27 in the Championship and contributed more goals (1 more) and assists (7). Could not find stats for both players last season.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all. No fee above £20m has been paid on anyone over 25. Given Rushworth is 25 in July, his value isn't going to go up if we spend £20m on him.

In fact Aaron Ramsdale, 26 and Henderson 26, at the time of their last transfers both saw a loss on that transfer.

Ramsdale £30m at 23 to £15-20m at 26 years
Henderson £20m at 25 (rumoured agreed fee with forest) to £15m at 26 years

I bet you it would! Theres loads of examples of keepers going for over £20m when they are above 25. Petrovic moved to Bournemouth for £25m!

Can’t say his value isn’t going to go up; it’s unlikely to.

Top 5 PL keeper fees are:
- Kepa £71.6m
- Alisson £65m
- Onana £47.2m
- Ederson £34.7m
- Trafford £31m

Unless he’s going to be playing Champions League football within 2 years it’s very difficult to see a profit made.

They obviously dont. And you're not going to get profits unless they are playing champions league. His value may go up, but it's not guaranteed and £20m is excessively high for a keeper with no PL experience, going to to a newly promoted team.
