jed exodous 0 Posted May 16, 2011 He''d still do a good job for us. We''re gonna need quality in the prem, Oli Johnson and Wilbraham aren''t likely to be up to it, and who knows about Jacko, though hes earnt a crack at it, lets remember that Jacko went around 25 games without a goal before this purple patch. We need another 2 decent strikers who have scored regularly in the Champ and if poss the prem. Earnie would be good to have as competition for Jacko and hes out of contract this summer. Personally we could do a lot worse... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted May 16, 2011 WAY, players leave and join clubs all the time.He was brought in and sold by different managers, who says Roeder didn''t want him here?Some players might be happier to move around than others, treating it more like a normal job (which it is to them, why should pay and location be any less important to a footballer than it is for a lawyer?). Some are more dedicated, but can you really blame Earnshaw being sold? It wasn''t as if he forced his way out of the club..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,498 Posted May 16, 2011 Wasn''t there some sort of clause written into his contract, meaning we had to sell him if the right offer came in? Forgotten the details.Anyway, I''m beginning to think he could be very useful, a la Kevin Phillips type player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul moy 235 Posted May 16, 2011 Earnmore activated a minimum fee release clause in his contract because he didn''t want to stay. In any case he is too old and injury prone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alysha 0 Posted May 16, 2011 No, scored a great goal tonight, but most Forest fans have said he has been quite poor this season and are not much concerned that his contract has not yet been renewed; add that to the fact that our team is built on a good work ethos, which I believe Earnshaw lacks and is not really a team player. Just my opinion. *awaits abuse* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 27 Posted May 16, 2011 I''d never have any players that have been here and left back whatever the circumstances of their departure, it''s never the same second time around. Now we actually have some money we could afford any striker in the Championship if we wanted them, Earnshaw would still do a job in the Championship but now we are in the prem we should be setting our sights higher.

jed exodous 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Be good if someone could find a link to these stories. Cant remember too much about his leaving, just remember one morning i went to work we had him, 10 hours later i come home and hes gone, we have 2.5 million and Jamie lad... So, Earnie on a free, give Cody a chance or £3 million or so on Danny Graham or £4 - £6 million on Shane Long or Nicky Maynard... Personally, i cant see Lambert going for him, but i do beleive he''d do a good job here, like he did before. Perhaps he did encourage the move, but i dont remember him leaving under a cloud, more a case of us needing some cash to cover the parachute payments. Wasn''t Peter Grant in charge when Earnie left?

Yes, we probably could afford any player from the championship we wanted, but we''re probably gonna need 7 or 8 players so chucking all our cash at one position isn''t shrewd.

If i could be bothered, i''d like to check all these Jackson fans as well, just to see what they were saying about him in November, December, Jan and Feb, it seems that after his late flurry of goals, nobody ever had a bad word to say about him...

With him and Billy? On internation duty? yeah? Yeah i bet he has nightmares over a 3.5 million pound move, followed a year later by a 2.5 million pound move. In all seriousness, the truth probably isn''t available to us supporters. I cant remember all the stories and articles about Earnie and his move at the time, some of it may well have been him, but remember we had Doncaster at the helm, no more parachute payments (i think) and very few other sellable assetts. Off the field, things were looking very bleak, and the move happened to suit both parties at the time. We got a bit of cash and the previous season top scorer, then the likes of Brellier and Strihavka, and Earnie moved on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I wouldn''t be surprised if we did spend between 3 and 5 million quid on one player during the summer'' Bowkett stated that all the forty million tv money would be avaliable for the playing budget and even though around half of that is likely to be taken up by wages I would have thought there will be around 15 million quid to spend on transfer fees if Lambert so wishes.
