Earnie to forest!!

Premier League Derby County
comment on the article

it has been confirmed Derny have accepted an offer from Forest for Earnshaw.

Derby County have confirmed that they have accepted an offer from Nottingham Forest for striker Robert Earnshaw.

The bid is believed to be worth up to £2.5m and the Welsh international is expected to talk to Forest but any possible move could be held up because the 28-year-old is thought to be on holiday.

Earnshaw joined the Rams from Norwich City for £3.5m last summer

Probably now gauranteed to score against us next season and fire forest up the league.



Shocking!!!!

2.5m for Earnshaw? Take the money and run!
Vastly over-rated player, would probably do OK in Robbo's pub team.

Earnshaw could really do a job in the Championship...I suggest ball boy, grounds staff or steward!

--------------------------

Gangster?? oh my...what a hardnut whistle

he could do a really good job in the championship, is that the same good job that Leicester did??

I hate sarcastic kn0bs....Earnshaw is a quality player - relegated Leicester fans would do well to know that Earnshaw has more quality than the Leicester strikers put together - maybe they should all quit and become Championship ball boys.... after all its the only way that Leicester players will participate in the championship next season laugh

Why didn't Earnshaw get a good run with derby? He seemed to have a spark about him but didn't get half a chance! It must of been something off the field! Who knows! Anyway, I think he'll do a great job for NF, just sad he ain't coming back to Cardiff sadface

Rob Earnshaw could do a fantastic job for Forest next season, the only problem seems to be an apparant off the field issue. If this is sorted (or just a rumour) then I would be delighted. One more quality forward and I would be happy with our strikers - assuming we don't lose Tyson, Agogo, and to a lesser extent Grant Holt. Does anyone know whether Will Hoskins is staying?

I thought Jewell was a reasonable good manager but clearly he is as stupid as Brian Robson.

Earnie is class. Kept West Brom in the prem and was their top scorer with just sub appearances 2nd half of the season - next season Robson doesn't play him and they get relegated.

Name the only player to score a hat trick in every division, both cups and for his county?
He may be a bit lazy but he's got pace to burn and an eye for goal. Give him 90mins and he will score. I hope he gets the chance to make Jewell sick next season.

Do you know what mate.
That's exactly WORD FOR WORD what I said nearly a year ago when he first signed for Derby. The lad couldn't FAIL to terrorize our opposition.

Oh he'll love you lot...he really will!!!as much as he loves this alealeale stuff.

Not so sure I'm that keen on him coming to Forest, another football journey man who is stealing a living. (In my humble opinion)

If he does then I will support him when he wears the shirt, providing he does it with pride and he not just at Forest for and easy life and a few quid.

Earnshaw has a hatrick in everey level of English football. Just a random fact. But he's a championship player through and through. He's class there, in the seasons he spent in the Premiership I think it's best he stays there. Strange decision, Derby letting him go.
