Etheridge will be a wanted man by an established PL club.
Some of his saves this season have been 'Banks'esque.
We said the same about David Marshall last time we went down, yet he played a couple of seasons for us in the Championship before he left.
Nearly all top level keepers are capable of making brilliant point blank saves, he's been forced into making them, it's bt default that he is a contender for player of the season. Clubs above us wont be banking on a keeper having to make saves like that almost every game they play. They'll be looking ay his all round game like distribution, strength on crosses etc
Cardiff has a wage cap?
Etheridge must have a clause in his contract allowing him to go if the right offer came in.
New club who would probably be willing to double his wages.
Yeah but who? Also, he's 29 now. Palace want Butland, probably the top 10 have established keepers and there's some good ones around. If Etheridge was 23 he'd be gone in a heartbeat but I'm not so sure. If he does go, best of luck to him. He really deserves it.
Didn't realise he was 29, but that's young for a keeper.
I don't think anyone will go for Etheridge he has been good this season but didn't stand out last season. I can't think of any team he would become clearly their number 1
