Ethan Laird

[Swansea93]

Joins Birmingham for 500K, seems a good deal.

 

[Dr. Winston]

Went right off the boil for us after a decent start.

 

[Manselton Jack]

Didn't look that good at QPR either

 

[Itchysphincter]

Spent more time looking for ways to go down instead of playing football. Cheat, didn’t enjoy watching him here and happy when he went. Caused problems for us with refs not giving us anything because of his persistent diving. Never understood why our fans raved about him.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Mid table championship player signs for mid table championship club, 500k a bit steep in my reckoning...

 

[SgorioFruit]

who?

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

500k is a steal

 

[Itchysphincter]

500k is a steal

Wrong.

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

Wrong.

He's still young, got time to work on the defensive side of his game or he could develop into a tricky winger. With better reffing he'd have won us about 6 penalties in his spell with us and he may have been remembered more fondly.

 

[Manselton Jack]

Needs to work on the attacking side of his game as well, his final ball was generally poor

He was a cheat that crippled us in the box, and the refs rightly had his number. So many chances he had to drive at a man or sling it hard and low into the six yard box and he chose instead to go down, every single time .

Fair enough if you liked him but can you honestly say you’d be happy if we’d just spunked 500K on him?

A cheat? Come on, the vast majority of those fouls were genuine fouls when looked at on replay. Not saying he like 90% of footballers doesn't go down easy. 3 assists and several incorrect penalty calls in from wing back suggests he didn't 'cripple' our attack in the slightest.

500k yes, we need full backs and direct players with pace. It would be a great investment if he finds a settled home.

He had all the abilty to get in to great positions and then bottled it at every opportunity. He did cripple us with his antics and if he’s not careful and carries on the same way he’s in danger of wasting his talent and a promising career. I have the feeling that we’ve already seen the best of Ethan Laird and he won’t change or put in the effort that he needs to turn around his career. We shall see.

Really, next career step will be Fleetwood Town or Forest Green on a free...

I tend to agree
