skybluearmy88 · Jan 17, 2013

he was at the game tonight, sat in the boxes and a few people on facebook are claiming he is coming to cov, the guy who runs "sky blues" facebook page sits in one of the boxes and also claimed he had seen him and spoke to people who had said he was joining, what do we reckon lads? any truth in the rumours?

mi1o · Jan 17, 2013

I know someone mentioned him a little while back and a few people said they wouldnt want him. Personally i always liked Rob Earnshaw and i think him and Clarke could do really well upfront together. Robins wanted DMc and Clarke upfront together so maybe he sees Earnshaw as a replacement for DMc, personally i hope its true.

Edit*** - Provided his wage demands arent too high.

There way be truth in earnshaw joining us ad someone did mention it a week or 2 ago, they said it was from a good source so i guess the source is good

LJC_CCFC · Jan 17, 2013

I'll take credit for that one

ilikesisuhatethecouncil · Jan 17, 2013

I would be surprised and happy to see him here. he would blitz this league... still time for him to get 20 -25 goals, seriously the guy is championhip class and could get in way too many in that league to seriosuly consider us. the only way he would come is money, and thats something we aint got. apparently

no shit Sherlock!

rupert_bear · Jan 17, 2013

Very much on the cards.....apparently, from what i was told last night our owners see promotion as the only realistic chance of getting a lump of money back. A short term contract to the summer wouldn't cost the earth. How old is he ?

hill83 · Jan 17, 2013

Surprisingly he's only 31.

CarpyCov84 · Jan 17, 2013

Surely if he signed robins will switch the system to 4-4-2

Yep, even shocked himself when he found out. He had no idea.

kg82 · Jan 17, 2013

If we got him I think it would be a great signal of intent. At 31 he's by no means past it and I think a manager like Robins could get him playing well again. If it's true, of course, but I have heard the rumours on Facebook today also.

SkyBlueScottie · Jan 17, 2013

Your teeth are offside, your teeth are offside oh Robert Earnshaw your teeth are offside.

CarpyCov84 · Jan 17, 2013

If he really was at the game last night i would be very confident in the deal personally we have a good relationship with Cardiff ex players there etc could see this happening fingers crossed.

jon92 · Jan 17, 2013

What sort of wages is he on?

They have a better relationship with ex Cov players though

dongonzalos · Jan 17, 2013

Hope is was there for us and not Tranmere.

About time we had a an ugly short welshFootballer who knows where the net is.

That should work

When you look at the out of favour championship strikers he is the best.

WestEndAgro · Jan 17, 2013

Rumors floating round at halftime last night that he IS joining us, but again nothing concrete as yet.

CarpyCov84 · Jan 17, 2013

Seems to be a lot in this 1

PUSB

Nick · Jan 17, 2013

Did anybody on here actually see him?

AFCCOVENTRY · Jan 17, 2013

If he did come it would be a loan deal. He is in high wages though so not sure what % we would pay.

However, it seems a rumour to me as very few people seem to have seen him.

jon92 · Jan 17, 2013

Nick said:

Can't really see him coming here with our wage budget and robins only likes to play one striker

torchomatic · Jan 17, 2013

There's definitely some truth in this. Luckily I snapped this photo of him last night. You can clearly see the three spires and the Ricoh.

kg82 · Jan 17, 2013

Why does everyone think he'll be on such high wages? Surely players know that if you haven't done a great deal in the last few years then a drop in wages is pretty inevitable? So is it a guess that he'd be out of our price range or is it known? Cardiff will more than likely be looking to get him off the books as he doesn't seem part of their plans.

I mentioned it about a week or so ago in a thread, it was also mentioned that he was her to keep himself fit as he has no club at the moment, i would n't mind seeing him here, but could we afford him??

Is Wood leaving? If so then yes.

If he don't have a club at the moment any wage is better than no wage and playing is better than not playing.

Just a rumour so far though.

wal3590 · Jan 17, 2013

I'll send gunnar a text, i'm sure he could confirm or deny the earnie rumours..

If we can free Cody and ROD, that will spare wages up for Earnshaw. He'll want 6k-8k a week i imagine. I'd say Cody is on 5k and ROD on 3k so wages wouldn't be an issue.

Completely unrealistic figures.....ROD 3k a week - are you mad ??

rupert_bear · Jan 17, 2013

As regards wages i have been told that a 100k a year is the norm and our highest is 7k a week. So 3k a week for ROD is probably correct, who came here on a free transfer so things like signing on fees etc are calculated in. Good job being a pro-footballer at any level.

I thought you'd like it ha! What a signing it would be though! Always rated the lad

Lecko · Jan 17, 2013

He was on Soccer AM on Saturday, and said he has a contract until the end of the season, so he'll still be picking up some wages, depends on how much he wants to play first team football

CarpyCov84 · Jan 17, 2013

His previous scoring record means he will always be taken on by a club hoping they can get lucky and he re-discover his form which made his name at Cardiff

covcity4life · Jan 17, 2013

would love him but also dont want to play 4-4-2 so not sure how it would work
maybe hell be a super sub like kevin phillips?

deanocity3 · Jan 17, 2013

we don't need him.
too many strikers at the club and with the formation we play we can only pick one
