"They have pace everywhere in the team and Rob Earnshaw was very close to coming here but it all came down to money in the end."

Sounds like it wasn't just Boro who were interested in him. This is certainly news to me!!

The blunts didn't have the money for the step ladder he'd have needed to play in their team.

No, he would've got a bigger Hummer, thus requiring a larger step-ladder - which they couldn't afford!

He's bound to score now.

They where interested in him when we originally signed him, not recently

Both Forest and Sheff Utd has bids accepted for Earnshaw at the same time by Derby. Thankfully he chose us!

Exactly, the comment in that article is just designed to say he was close to joining them this summer rather than two years ago

Ah, good owd Sheff United. Whilst praising our team Blackwell still manages a little backhanded insult in terms of the money Earnshaw wanted, (that's how it read to me anyway)

Dirty horrible club, horrible manager, horrible players back to front. I hope we win 10-0.

I find it hard to believe we offered more money than sheff utd.
