Ethan Galbraith

Post by Qin »

We understand that Ethan has been offered a new contract for some time now and he hasn't signed it
.
Well it's obvious, he isn't going to sign it is he?

Why on earth would he sign a new contract, when at the end of a season he's a free agent, and will be snapped up by a championship club, on at least double the wages hes earning at Leyton Orient.

I actually think the Orient will sell him in January whilst they can still get money for him, otherwise he'll go for nothing in May or June.

Well Ethan has to agree to sign for another club if Os accept an offer for him come January but if Ethan refuses the offer he can wait till he is a free agent and perhaps get a better deal for himself, in which case Os lose out on getting a big transfer fee.

I suspect Galbraith's agent has been hawking him around to other clubs to see if he can get a 'better' deal elsewhere.

I suppose that is an agents job, but there must be a time limit, and I'd have thought it is well past that now.

We need to know soon, so we can consider getting a kid on loan thats recovering from a serious injury if indeed he will be going elsewhere

Whatever we'e offering him we must greatly increase it . We've simply got to do all we can and more to keep Ethan at Orient .

I would be happy to invest in an increase in his wages in return for a piece of the potential transfer value of the guy. No point in waiting until January when we’re top 6 and then have a huge dilemma. Increase his wage significantly now and give him a ‘get out’ for the end of the season. We have a gem of a player here.

Need to make it attractive for Ethan to sign
Like double his wages with a £1m exit clause end of 24/25 season
Worth noting that Dan Agyei has also not signed the new contact I believe has been offered

If we want to keep our best players we have to pay them what they’re worth.

They could sign him and put in a clause something like a “sanity clause.” I know” there’s no sanity clause” Marx brothers 1936 duck soup.
