RuffRob Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 http://www.sportinglife.com/football/premi...on&PREV_SEASON= I have to say I was a big fan of his before he moved to West Brom - But he doesn't seem to get a look in. I am not to sure now - is it becasue he not up to the Prem. Thing is he scores 14 goals last season and a lot of the time was on the subs bench - At this moment in time I would be happy to have a player getting 14 goals for us. I am not convinced he would be the right option - especially if WBA want £3M back for him - I would cheer him on if he did come to Goodison, but I think I would rather Moyes take a £2M punt on Cameron Jerome. I hear he had a good game against Arsenal - and give their back four a hard time for 90 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 im a fan of earnshaw, a british player who can score 14 goals a season would be worth more than £3m, a la BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather_6 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 i got to admit i always found rob earnie quite wierd and ugly but i do like him as a striker and any striker will do for Everton as long as they are decent lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 i wouldnt mind him. but being kept out the WBA team by campbell and horsefield is pretty concering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 i wouldnt mind him. but being kept out the WBA team by campbell and horsefield is pretty concering <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah but this is more to do with attitude than ability Robson doesnt like him. He aint a bad player and he cant find that back of the net. Id have him for a bench warmer better than Bent but still need a better striker to partner Beattie.

GoldfishMemory Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 i wouldnt mind him. but being kept out the WBA team by campbell and horsefield is pretty concering <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly, buying him would be a sideways step, no better no worse than what we have. We need to be looking at quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 no way is he a step sideways, he scored twice as many goals as bent last season, and played half as many games! id take him as a partner for BT if we cant find someone better, but you get good value for money with earnshaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueindabullens Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Earnshaw a great player but he wud be better at bolton because we dont wanna be playin long ball and hes a player who cud get on the end of long balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 7.5 million bid rejected on sky news for someone . Moyes sed he didnt have any monet 2 spend!!!!

Face-man Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 earnshaw has scored some goals in the recent past so IF the price was reasonably cheap he would be worth a go. he's got pace etc so could be a good partner for beattie maybe. But i reckon robson will want too much for him, 2 million would be a fairer price. 14 goals in the premiership is good going. And as for horsfield and KC keeping him out ..... that really is concerning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 2million pound bid reported for Earnshaw.... http://borntobeblue.co.uk/index.php?option...=1121&Itemid=84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Just seen that. £2.5 for bent and £2m for Earnshaw. Don't think that is bad business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooberman Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 yeah that's really good business especially as we're gonna be making a loss on kroldrup - i reckon earnshaw will score us a few goals and be a good foil for beattie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Better than Beattie, bit gutted about Anelka snub though. Earnshaw 2 mill and maybe Trundle 1 mill? That would be two strikers in at 500k spend even we have that money dont we?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Cant see W.B.A taking just 2 for Earnshaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I can seeing he isnt a first teamer plus he has upset the apple cart with his comments and he appealed to the FA to investigate his transfer from Cardiff to WBA. I would say the club will want rid of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 reports in the mirror are saying that we have had a £1.5m offer rejected for Earnshaw as they want double but Dm won't pay 'silly money' for a player. Is Earny worth more than Bent??????/ http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/topstories/t...-name_page.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 He is on ability alone yeah, but factor in that a. WBA want rid b. He wants out c. He is on the transfer list This lowers the price. None of this was public about Bent and I imagine both parties would have been content if no bids came in for him.

RuffRob Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yeah, I think Earnshaw is a better goal scorer than Bent - but maybe not a better player. I think that has been Robson's main problem with him. His overall play and controbution. I know a few Cardiff City fans (as I live in South Wales) and they always said he isn't really much of a player - but just kept scoring goals and always has done. The big question is can we afford to have a player like this in the team - he will score goals, but the other 9 outfeild player may have to 'cover' his general play. So in a away he maybe the opposite of what Bent gave us last year - played well up front but just didn't score many. His signiture does pose a risk in my opinion - especially when is general playing ability is a known weakness - is this risk worth £2.5M? If nobody else is available for the right money this January window (which is the usual case in January unless you have silly money) then it has to be a definate Yes in my opinion.

StevO Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 i keep sayin all along, goals is what i want, i appreciate hard work, but we need end product - the ball in the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffeplus Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Seen reports we have bid 1.5 mil think that is a fair price even though they paid 3 for him has not played or done a lot at wba so they have to be prepared to take a hit on him.

RoGuEAuDiO Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 i think earnshaw would be ideal to partner BT , i think we lack a striker with pace , but now we need a CB as well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickboy Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hes gotta be worth a go at 2 mil, & hes only 27/28. Like the man said, we need pace, hes got that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
