It doesn’t seem too long ago that here at Vital Luton Town, we wrote an article relating to Ethan Horvath.
Our article – time-to-prioritise-our-first-january-signing – posed the simple question as to whether, on the back of a fine season, so far, Luton Town should make best endeavours to make our USA goalkeeper our transfer priority this January, thereby beating any possible competition for his services in the summer.
However, it appears that Rob Edwards hasn’t heeded our wise words and is content to leave the decision until the end of the season.
In an article published by Luton Today, the gaffer is quoted as remarking:
“I think we’ve got him to the end of the season.
“That’s something for further down the line.
“It’s something we’re aware of, we’re aware of his situation as well.
“We know he’s not our player as such, he is but he’s not, so it’s something to look at further down the line, but he’s certainly made a big impact here.”
With 9 clean sheets in his 25 appearances in all competitions, Horvath has been a consistent performer and Edwards reluctance to sort a deal out, this month, could bounce back and haunt us.
We know, only too well how hard good goalkeepers are to find and my continuing fear is that unless Luton have an exclusive clause in his loan contract, more fine form from Ethan could see a host of clubs willing to pay any inflated fee Nottingham Forest, if they decide to sell, might ask for the player.
Sadly, we can only be patient, trust Rob Edward’s judgement and hope we don’t end up with egg on our faces over this one.
