Incoming? Carl Rushworth

[blade too long]

Don't forget loan fees. You're essentially paying to own the asset for a year, almost like a lease payment. In Henderson's case the second year was hefty. And much like a lease you're left with little to show at the end of it as an asset (albeit in his case he did help us net further PL payments).

What ever the cost Henderson was worth it..we've had some fabulous loan signing in recent years that improved our team by a mile gibbs white mcatee doyle etc..last years alone were not so good

If you can afford it, buy it.

If you can't afford to buy it, but still want it, borrow it.

Things you buy, you can love or realize you bought on impulse and shouldn't have done it.

You know borrowing it is more expensive but you get the flexibility.

A football team is no different.

Takeover delayed the free pen arriving.

Bicsham arriving…..

On another loan?

Meh. Shit or bust for us, it’s insurance I suppose in case the takeover doesn’t go through. Would prefer Cooper, but we have this year where we can pay huge wages and signing on fees, just can’t stretch it over 3-5 years, unless we get taken over.

I prefer Rushworth and hopefully we just use the 3/4m we tried to negotiate with and get another midfielder or forward.

Suppose I was asking because other than the slight concern about his knees I'd prefer Cooper myself. If there's. Genuine chance we could sing Rushworth next summer maybe but not just loans to keep developing everyone else's players.

Our players Faxon etc; should be developing on loan somewhere they will play when Rushworth goes back etc;

Nothing wrong with playing dirty over the cooper negotiation. Suppose we're in take it or leave it territory, player unsettled , last year of his contract , it's what others have done to us .
The Rushworth statement is just stating that we'll go elsewhere and have options .
I've no preference in which way they go tbh .
All the pressure is now on Plymouth , sell to us at our offer , sell to a PL club and he'll be a no2 , keep him and he leaves for nothing .

Bit crap for the lad in the middle of it all .

Good recruitment is good recruitment. Bad is bad.

Be it loans, frees or fees.

Obviously there’s a natural preference for owning players, but as long as recruitment is strong it’s not overly relevant.

Loans - For every James Wilson there’s a MGW
Frees - For every Didzy there’s a Kean Bryan
Fees- For every Callum Robinson there’s a John Egan

Rushworth or Cooper both feel like very good options.

Maybe both as we only have 1 GK, Faxon not there yet! A promotion hunting team needs quality backups

I would be surprised if either come to play for us without some assurance they will be first choice.

Rushworth or Cooper are huge upgrades on what we have right now.

You do know we have Davis and Garbage right, what more assurances do you need.....

Completely agree. I was responding to the suggestion we might sign both Cooper and Rushworth. I can't see that happening.

Cant see Brighton selling Rushworth he will be no1 next season for them .So yes a loan for me if we cant get cooper

On another loan?
