Never thought of it like that I think you could be right regarding Etheridge, he has been bombed out be previous clubs and found himself in the lower leagues. It could be a Tan buy to sell some shirts in the Middle East, he will probably be our reserve keeper.

How would any of us get evidence like that? There's no suggestion that it is a Tan signing, but no one can doubt it's going to sell shirts in phillipines, good bit of business for both warnock and Tan I would say whoever signed him.

I always sign Mendez-Laing on FIFA, bags of pace, good crosser, and has a lot of potential and they usually get that sort of thing correct - even if it is just a video game. Both men are decent signings by all accounts, Etheridge an ex-Fulham keeper, and Mendez-Laing who can play either Left or Right Wing. Welcome to Costa Del South Wales lads!

Philippines are a basketball nation. They have next to no interest in football

Would really like to see some of the dead wood moving out of the club as quickly as possible and freeing up some wages.

Agree, he looks pacy, powerful and skillful, hoping he fits in here.
And also if we keep Harris and Hoilett and give Kennedy a chance that's a shitload of pace to work with.
But finishing product still yet to show...
Still they cause problems and Hoilett didn't have a pre season and Harris is young and still learning the trade and I think he will get better he showed glimpses this season.

Basketball is popular but I'd be surprised is football wasn't popular too, they are one of the oldest teams in Asia the national team have been going a longtime even if they are crap.

I lived there for around 18 months 3 years ago. I'd even go as far as saying football is a minority sport over there. I doubt 99% of the population could name 3 teams in the Premier League, and the only Philippine footballers they know are the semi pro ones who do modelling/acting on the side

ccfcsince1962 wrote:There are many obvious flaws in the theory put forward by some on here that Etheridge is a Vincent Tan signing based on the belief that it will generate huge replica shirt sales in the Philippines, including
1) there is very little support for football in general in the Philippines
2) even if there was, replica goalie shirts don`t tend to be " best sellers"
3) a replica shirt could probably be made out there as a copy overnight for less than £1 , so hardly likely to buy full priced ones
One poster also seemed to think that the Phillipines is in the Middle East!!. Hopefully, any shirt sales that are made will get posted to the correct part of the globe!
