Are we good?

Based on Ling's interview on YouTube it looks that way

Thank you sweet Jesus . I was worried we would lose him . I rate Ethan very highly .

Well done the board for turning down the £1m, looking for more in the summer according to Lingy

He’s clearly going in the summer so let’s enjoy him for the next 18 games.

19 with the Man City game and hopefully 2 or 3 more at the seasons end

No Ling is getting us at it.
Legend said he's having a medical still

Lingy stood on his foot, he failed Swanseas medical after the Million bid was accepted & it all got called off.
We keep Ethan until the summer

Hopefully not - would rather hit the auto spots.

Ling confirmed in his interview that they turned down a1Million offer some 5 hours before 11 pm closure.He said the offer did not meet their valuation. Great news . Well done Lingy

Turkish window doesn't close for a few more days so we can't rest easy just yet. Have heard Besiktas have been monitoring him.

Ooh the Solskjaer connection. £2million for Ole's Besiktas then

Why you saying well done Lingy?
Ling didnt turn down the bid, the board did, Ling does what the board tell him to
Strange comment

Martin Ling: the less he does, the better he looks.

Forgive this flight of fancy but... if we somehow manage to scramble a promotion this season and Nige gives up a controlling stake to some moneybags Yank with an eye for property development, then there's a good chance that Ethan will be playing for us next season. Although a global trade war could put paid to all Nigel's dreams in that respect...

If there's £1m there now, the £1m will be there in the summer. He's worth more than that too. He can comfortably play in various positions and is very good. Should be looking at £2-3m at least.

Absolutely, it's good to see that sentiment shared by club hierarchy too

I would have taken the £1M.

What if he gets a bad injury between now and the summer? How much is worth then?

That can be said about any player who commands decent price tag.

His touch is a class above anyone else in the squad and his stats must be off the scale (which I believe all clubs have access to?) so as bonkers as I think it is, maybe your valuation is right.

Indeed it can but £1M today is better than nothing tomorrow.

According to Wales Online it was more like £750 000.

Ling said £1m.

I wouldn't take a penny less that £749, 999.

You've not counted all the FA Cup matches up to the final.

This Saturday could be the making of Galbraith . He is in the spotlight against Man City. This is the chance for our players to state how good they can be against prem opposition. Good luck to all of them

Doku or Grealish or whichever squad player City put out wide left is going to roast him.
