Earnie north bound?

[Shanks]

Still one of my favourite Forest players (and would be gutted) but heard a whisper (nothing more) that a top Jock team wants him - Wasn't told which one but likely to be one from Glasgow. Champions League football, a nice pay day and chance of scoring regular might be enough? I hope not!

 

[Zeus]

Sounds like a good deal for Earnie........ would it be a good one for forest though??

Any idea how much we're talking??

Hope your wrong mate!

Really like Earnie and think he's still got a bright future here!

 

[dbarraclough]

If its under 3mill I would be slightly dissapointed but hey its not like we've missed him when he's dropped or injured

 

[Bridgfordred79]

BD said he wants "strength in depth", and with that we now have 6 strikers which means we never start fatigued/tired players.

However, he is nearing 30, and an offer above 3million could be too good to refuse.

 

[dbarraclough]

Got to agree with that. If we want 6 strikers and Earnie went for 3 mill then I am sure we could replace him with some of the cash in January. Not a problem.
Ha ha ha as I was typing that, the dire shot from Dickov from last nights football league show just flashed through my mind!

 

[Tommy1drop]

I to hope that he does`nt leave, but! if they were to get a good price for him, then surely he will be on his way, i know we have`nt seen much of him this season through injury but if they can secure a good price then it might be better all round if the was to leave.

But i also hope that Billy boy has a good replacement in mind for him, and that the transfer panel and ND let Billy have the full amount to get in another striker and that they don`t cock it up!

 

[Randy Bumgardener]

I love earnie and would love him to spend the rest of his career here. But isn't it showing how Billy striker policy is working ! We have a top rate striker out injured, but he can be replaced in the side by another with different qualities ! Absolutely fantastic. remember last season when he was injured ? We were lost without him !

I'd hate him to go, but if he wants to taste European footy and be at a huge club like Rangers you can't really argue with him going !

As if there are any other teams in scotland with the pull.

Hibs have Brian Rice!

 

[The Vicar]

Wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Newcastle or Boro and if we got 3m+ for him I wouldn't mind.

 

[dbarraclough]

We could get jermaine beckford for 5 mill

[dwayne99]

I'm not to fussed if he leaves to be honest its not like we've missed him while hes bin out is it really and 3mil is great money

 

[Spring Heeled Jack]

Nobody in their right mind would pay £3,000,000 for Earnshaw.

Notts County it is then.

 

[garibaldi79]

Do Rangers have $3 million??? i doubt it.

 

[Dorset Red]

After all the recent injuries etc I cannot see BD letting him go, especially if Tyson is out for a month.

 

[DaveRedDog]

If he was to leave I would prefer him going north of the border rather than to a rival.

But again, Billy has said all along he is not in the market to sell, he doesn't need to and he doesn't want to so it would take a big offer to tempt Billy to sell him.

He's not likely to be sold now since he's still not fit yet , in the january transfer window perhaps. I wouldn't mind selling Earnie if it is 3 to 4 million. Earnie never got going this season and i can't really see him fitting in with Billy's gameplan. if the money we get for him is put into good use , i would sell him.

 

[Anatoli]

He is not being played, despite being well enough to mow his lawn in November, to soften us all up for his leaving.

 

[russellrm09]

Hi there this is my very first post.

Earnie needs to stay. When fit and confident, he is without a doubt our best natural goal scorer we have.

 

[dbarraclough]

Welcome to the forum :tophat:
I agree but wonder when he's ever going to get a run of games for us.
I'm beginning to think Dex and Earnie up front at home and then play the 5 man midfield with Dex up front away.

 

[russellrm09]

thanks

I agree earnie and dex should def be first 2 on the team sheet for every home game, and against the weaker away trips. i.e Derby
