Fair assessment. I do still think he was fantastic for that long run of games and could see him being good in the PL (if he can get over his injury) but I respect your opinion

I think we'll need to hive him another season at his own pace before we'll know. We certainly need a keeper for next season.

It's very simple. We want to sign Rushworth. Rushworth has stated that he would love to sign for us. Simple so far.
We know how to pick a player. Brighton already have experience in this
If they're willing to make him No.1 he stays. After the season Rushworth is having he will want to be No.1 in a Prem side. Another Championship loan won't do, and he won't be happy sitting on the bench.
It's down to Brighton. Rushworth is excellent considering he has never played for his own club. Do they risk making him No.1 or risk losing him? 20m is a lot for a player untried in the prem. He would be worth that much to us.

Brighton, established Premier League club, will cash in on Verbruggen, their current GK and the Netherlands No 1 and replace him with Rushworth next season? which I presume means they will sell Verbruggen. That's one hell of a gamble, and if we go up, and bid high for Rushworth thats essentially what they need to do. No way Rushhworth will be happy with being a back up next season if he knows we were in for him.

Personally, my belief is that if we want Rushworth and the price is reasonable, we’ll sign him. If we go up and go back down, Rushworth is fit for purpose even if he has a bad season.
For BHA, they need to keep being a solid midtable club that can push for European places… As you say, it’s risky for BHA to put their trust in an untested keeper in the Prem. Sunderland ditched Patterson when they got promoted who is having a great season himself at Millwall and we’ve been tenuously linked with.

I think the only way we get Rushworth is on a Wrexham type deal. We pay Brighton £75 million, make Rushworth our highest paid player and give Brighton an option to buy him back cheaply any time they like (within a window obviously) 
I hope I’m wrong and that we sign him because he’s a top goalkeeper and is key to our chances of survival in the Premier League next season.
If we can’t get him, then I would get in on loan the best goalkeeper we can and let him and Dovin fight it out for the shirt. It’s a real shame about Dovin’s injury because I think that, but for that, he would really have come on this season. He’s not as good as Rushworth but I reckon he has the makings of a very decent Premier League goalkeeper. I just hope his injury doesn’t prove to be a permanent setback to his career.

If we can land Rushworth I'd definitely look at loaning Dovin out to a top end Championship team with demands he is no.1. he's missed a year of development, wouldn't be fair to have him sat on our bench or stick him straight into first team prem football after that much time out of the game. He needs minutes

That's a good Shout but not at 75 million.
I wonder how much influence the player and his agent have in this situation? He had one year left and I guess should be honouring it but if the player (in this case Rushworth) really says I won’t sing a new deal and will leave for free next year then Brighton might end up with no choice over than to recoup whatever they can ?It's very simple. We want to sign Rushworth. Rushworth has stated that he would love to sign for us. Simple so far.

Brighton have an option in their favour so he’s effectively got two years left.

I also don't see us pushing Rushworth to kick up a stink as King has mentioned that he is friends with Tony Bloom. That relationship may also help us. All we can do is speculate though, see what happens.

They got him for free IIRC. Must be tempting to cash in
1 year plus an option of another year. The player and agent will have a voice, but it's a year early to try and for a move. Rushworth deserves a run in the Prem. He isn't going to be happy with another Championship loan.
Maybe best of both worlds if they don't want to sell him but not play him yet would be another loan to us for next season. Spend the money elsewhere.

Here's one for the spreadsheet, when Rushworth does leave Brighton they will sell him for more than 20 million.
Yes you would …. The spine of the team is exactly where you invest

GK's don't go for as much money as you think. Yes, he's English which will add the English tax on, and he's on the younger side. but if we can get him for between 15-20m I would be ecstatic!!
Really think we need to focus on getting a decent GK, then stable back 4 and risk that our midfield and attack will be able to compete.

Burnley paid £15 million for James Trafford 3 years ago, and that was off the back of a season in League 1. If Verbruggen is sold I would expect Brighton to use the option on Rushworth and ask for well north of £20 million to get him.

He'll be ours on a 9 year deal, a Brigthouse kind of set up for needy new prem clubs.
