Robbie Earnshaw (1 Viewer)

[Platt_The_Donkey]

..has been offered a new contract at Forest for less money than he's currently earning, step in there Thorny!!!!

 

---

[sw88]

Probably still more than we can offer!

 

[ScottShearerFanClub]

I'd break the bank for robbie anyday of the week!

 

[rswxite]

I think he'd prove a very popular choice with the fans and would go someway to prove the ambition was still there, make it happen

 

[skybluegod]

this would restore my faith in cov if we got him if we got him marlon to me is a nobody pusb

 

[im-confused]

Earnshaw and Juke upfront? Yes please!

 

[Skybluedar]

You make a v valid point so i just decided to tweet Brody about it. There has to be some news by the end of the week...

Also want to say Platt_The_Donkey is a superb name! :claping hands:

 

[ScottShearerFanClub]

I Imagine almost everyone in the championship will be after him

 

[CovLis86]

We have to at least throw our hat into the ring. Im sure he is one that AT is at least "dangling his bait infront of" . Would be a great foil to Jukebox.

 

[Luke-higgs2810]

A pacey energetic player like robbie is wot cov have needed for years! Him and the juke will make an awesome strikeforce!

 

[sky blue john]

I'm not sure how old is he now.

 

[CovLis86]

How old is he now out of interest?

 

[Ernie Machin]

30.

He's still got a lot in the tank, I reckon.

I wish haha

Just seen Palace were linked with him. Even though they'be denied it, it would suggest hes likely to be available. Palace probably dont want to make it public if they are actually interested, but surely we can compete financially with Palace?? Would be disappointed if he was to move to somewhere like that and is not make even an enquiry!

 

[ccfc_Tom]

He'd be a great signing i think. Big name too at championship level.

 

[ScottShearerFanClub]

I would put my money on Cardiff as hes a fan. Especially if Malky Mackay gets the job.

 

[Covstu]

would love him here but we still probably could afford him!!!

 

[Big Mo]

He's on 15k at Forest - would guess they've probably offered him 10k to stay.

Not sure it would be worth matching that, seems to have had injury problems and we have to be realistic about our overall budget and how much that may hinder us in other areas.

 

[ccfc1973]

i would pay him 15 grand anyday he would get us 15-20 goals and be a good foil for the duke imp:

 

[skybluesteve76]

Sign him up thorny!!!!

 

[smileycov]

We all say we have no money, however "the Liar" and Kieran where on decent money i should think, put that together to get someone good like Earnshaw, board said we have a bit of a pot as last year. So we can then pick up squad players we have released a lot too.

 

[Lets all sing together]

If we pushed the boat out for knob-head and he was 5k , surely we're aware of our 'cap', and Earnshaw is a dream.

 

[Dan Griffin]

With the rapist gone he was on about 9k, westy was about 5k so that's 14k offer him about 12/13k, an then a young striker 3k max, have either eqrnshaw or Phillips on pay as you play,

 

[mattylad]

<br />
<br /> thats not right bcos carsley was on 10k, we have no cap currently in place as far as i am aware

 

[Lets all sing together]

You say we have no cap in place ?

Should be no problems getting Phillips, Earnshaw and anyone else we want then. :facepalm:

 

[hackneyfox]

<br />
<br /> thats not right bcos carsley was on 10k, we have no cap currently in place as far as i am aware

How did Carsley warrant 10k a week?

 

[sw88]

No way would our board have signed Carsley on 10k p/w

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I guarantee Carsley would have been on 5-6k max, King 7-8k, Westwood 2-3k

People need to stop playing football manager. Even if we could afford them there would be a host of more attractive clubs for players like Earnshaw to go to

 

[Jimthor]

We'd offered King 15k to stay, so there's enough wage money available in the budget to bring him in, you'd think. I imagine there'll be clubs better placed than us that will want him though.

It is all hearsay, I would be very surprised if we had offered that. I expect it would have been 10-12k tbh

From my experience, Cov couldnt even sign Earnshaw on football manager

 

[Platt_The_Donkey]

Cardiff seems the obvious move for him, but hopefully Thorny could persuade him otherwise.

 

[sw88]

Forest fan at work reckons hes after £20k p/week. Way out of our league.
