Let's all write to Curbs, pleaing him to send Ethrington to us.

Ah, that would be terrific. Anyone else while we're at it?

That would be a fantastic idea. Give them Semedo and Zheng Zhi (if he's going to play anything like he did at the end of last season) as well.

Jack Harkness wrote:While I'd agree that Mathew Etherington is hard working, as a life long West Ham fan I'd say your description is a bit off, Mathew Etherington is a flairy dribbler who prefers to come inside and cut up defends. Delivering pin point passes and crosses really isn't his thing. He's a passable crosser but he gets most of his a assists by driving past defenders and doing a simple pass for a tap in. His crosses when running often fail to get off the ground. He does take a good corner though. He's a better finisher than he is creator. He also has a horrific injury history, and I don't mean bad luck with tackles his legs tend to buckle when he's running randomly, he also has lost alot of the pace he used to have.

That said he'd be a fantastic player, especailly at that level, and I'd heartily recommend him. Wouldn't be thrilled to see him leave but we've got so many sicknotes we could probably do with offloading one, we might be able to pay Rob Green a decent wage if he leaves. Although I haven't heard that we were looking to offload him, I'd imagine he'd be in the 2 - 4m range nowadays. I'd only heard we were looking to lose Ljunberg, Bowyer, Mullins, Quashie, Davenport, Ferdinand and Gabbidon.
