I hear they are interested or his agents busy ,chatter about 10 million bid , I'd take that if I'm honest.
Not enough money even at £10m. That kid from Bristol City joined Bournemouth today for £13m and he's only had one season. Etheridge is proven at Championship and now Premier League level. I think he'll stay with us.
He would be a reserve at West Ham as they already have an excellent keeper.
Only worry when Neil Warnock starts to warm up his car!
I don't think he's going anywhere.
I was thinking his value would be around the 6m mark, especially when keepers don't tend to go for loads (with the exception of a few)
Let's be real, he was in league 1 before we picked him up and has had one really good season in the top flight, 10m is a lot for him. I would hate to see him go, but with a good championship keeper like Smithies on the bench as well as 10m potentially being reinvested into the midfield or a striker, I'd take it all day
Build from the back. We should 100% keep Etheridge unless a stupid bid comes in.
He knows and values the club - and the squad, and the manager. He has had two very good seasons - Championship and Premier.
When he learns to kick he will be amazing! He is a top shot-stopper, and he controls his box (unlike some previous Cardiff heroes between the sticks).
Smithies has been a bit hit and miss with his infrequent appearances, but beofre that he was rightly seen as a top Championship keeper. So if Etheridge goes for silly money (I hope not) his replacement is already on the books.
At £15 we should sell.
Could get Westwood in on a free to compete with Smithies and invest it in 2-3 quality players.
At £10m I’m not so sure
If it’s a decent wedge, say 10m and it’s added to the somewhat paltry 15m available to Warnock then there’s more money for a quality central midfielder and striker.
He has read it on wales online, and lets be honest no media outlet knows how much we have to spend, do people think that City are going to divulge what we have to spend and have clubs put their prices up, I don't think so, I reckon we have quite a bit more than that, but as all the media that is just my guess
Can't believe Fabianski is 34.
Leicester paid 13mill for a reserve keeper last year, I agree with another poster 10 mill would be good buisness and Smithies is well thought of, then perhaps look at Westwood or Day to come in.
Starting bid should be £10m and we should see if we can drive up the price from there.
I'd like Adam Davies as a replacement as he is out of contract at Barnsley although they have offered him a deal to stay.
