Discussion surrounded whether loanee goalkeeper, Carl Rushworth will make the permanent move to Coventry for a reported £20m from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Oelrich was joined by fans Heather and Ben in the studio, and they were both happy with the rumoured news.

Rushworth made 123 saves, secured 17 cleans sheets and had a 73.2% save percentage in the Championship 2025-26 season.

Fan Heather told The Sky Blues Fancast: "They're talking £20m. I think he wants to come to Coventry. When you look back at our huge celebrations, he's so much part of that group of players. He wants to be here, we want him to be here. I hope they can get it done quickly so we can stop talking about it."

Rushworth said earlier this year he may need to "leave Brighton to fulfil his ambitions," and Coventry could be that place according to fan Ben.

Ben explained: "You do need to start from the back, I think if we can get the spine, I think in the midfield we just need a little bit more experience.

"If he's got that ambition to improve and go forward with the club, and he is as we all know, England's next number one, then that £20m will be a great investment."
