True enough, but can you imagine a better move (location-wise) than Walsall to Barcelona?

I wonder how the club will play this one out. Obviously Barca aren't going to make a muti-million pound offer at this stage ofthe youngster's career, but what sort of pathway can we offer? Big Bob ill very possibly move omwards and upwards at some time, but Scherpen's only 18 months older than Rushworth, so no easy path to the first team yet.
Loan to the Championship, maybe?
Or a loan to Barcelona (Barcelona B presumably)? - and then enjoy the 'Free Carl Rushworth' shitstorm when they want to keep him but we bring him back! Doing a great job at Walsall by all accounts.

Think he needs to be loaned to Leeds for a year before he can compete with ter Stegen.

Yep, that's mentioned in the article - although you'd struggle to find it behind all the pop-up ads. Barca sent scouts to Worthing twice, apparently.

I'm glad he's doing so well and is much appreciated by the Walsall fans.
They all seem to think he'll be off in January. Is it not a season long loan? Would we really pull him out of it half way through to send him to a league one club? Surely we'd leave him there for the season when it's all going so well and he's playing week in week out?

Its not rushworthy?

No.
Agreed - they really don't need to worry. As far as I can remember, the only time we have ended players' loans early is because they were not getting the expected game time.
Rushworth playing every week is precisely what he needs, and there would be no sense in bumping him up the leagues to potentially watch from the bench.
I'd argue too, that for a keeper specifically, the level of the league is much less important, than for an outfield player.

Rushworth will spend the full season at Walsall, jump straight to a championship loan the season after and then either be replacing Sanchez or fighting him for the keepers spot. He’s the real deal.

Long way to go but good start for Rushworth

Hardly. Walton is out of the picture with Albion. Finished. Gone. Done with.
