Watch Robert Earnshaw Sign for someone else in a "big money" move next season too.. the blokes fast becoming a journeyman cast off and he took the pi** out of Worthington, Grant and the fans with his attitude... some people have very short memories...  jas :)    Report

Me thinks Earnie would have stayed with City if it had looked like we were going anywhere, sadly it was quite obvious we weren't. We had a very poor manager incharge at the time who was bringing inferior players into the team and replaced Earnie with a vastly inferior player. I'd love to see him back, he's extremely prolific at this level and I'm keen for Norwich to be successful which means we need better quality players than what we've got.    Report

And as I said, if Norwich looked in better shape I think he would have stayed. Unfortunately we were looking a bit rubbish and a better offer came along so he took it.    Report

Norwich had bids accepted on Billy Sharpe and Luke Varney last season.  Earnshaw is no more or less likely to go there than either of those 2 were to come here.  He's gone on holiday now anyway, so it'll be a while before his next club is decided.

He could see the shambles that was coming under Grant and got out of it, I don't blame him for that. Forza Gialloverde!    Report
