Re: Would any of you welcome earnshaw back to the club?

To quote my earlier post and I think I'm on my own with this view:

Earnie - No Thanks from me sorry, why would we want a player who couldn't get a regular starting place in a team that was worse than ours last year.... Stop looking back, I don't see a queue of people lining up to sign him and there's a reason? I don't see why people rave about him, if he doesn't score in a game then he gives nothing else, on those tough trips away we don't need a passenger.

Sorry, lets forget the past it does nothing to help us and let's move forward with our new manager and new team.

Ask yourselves this question, if we'd have had Earnie last year would the end result have been any different? I'd suggest not, we don't need players who disappear in games.

Tony Pulis hit the nail on the head when Stoke were promoted,"you don't need the most talent team in the division to be promoted from the Championship, you just need one that turns up EVERY week". With that in mind think of Earnie and last year - Bothroyd, McPhail, Whitts, Burke, Oli...

There are supporters who would give him a standing round of applause off the field if he'd score three own goals and punched a ball boy. Look at his performances, poor, very poor. :old:

He is a GOOD player who is coming to the end of his career. He wants to spend it with the club he supports, unlike Bellamy. If he was poor, he wouldn't have had scored over 300 league goals now would he? He scored 3 this year, not bad. :roll:

I was surprised we didn't bring in another two strikers but with mason looking good and a change in formation I'd like another one striker.
