    Picked this up off the internet but cant see Norwich selling - he's top scorer in the championship


    Watford make offer for Norwich striker Earnshaw
    tribalfooball.com - January 01, 2007

    Watford have tabled a bid for Norwich City striker Robert Earnshaw.
    Earnshaw has also attracted interest from Portsmouth and The Times says Norwich have made him available and value the striker at about £4 million.

    The 25-year-old joined Norwich 12 months ago for £2.75 million, rising to £3.5 million, from West Bromwich Albion, who are entitled to 10 per cent of the sell-on transfer fee.

    The guy behind me yesterday said Francis was going back to Norwhich for £500K (which seems a bit low considering we paid £1.6mil)…maybe a swap and money deal?

    But how much do the papers know...i had no idea we were interested in Moses until i saw we'd signed him!

    Agree jobr, have you noticed every time he comes on as substitute we leak a goal - nearly happened yesterday again.

    No manager can get it right every time swap him for someone decent or sell him.

    Paul Jewell - what a salesman!

    £3M plus Francis would do very nicely.

    Earnshaw would be brilliant.

    Even if we went down, imagine him and King up front in the Championship! :eek: We'd blitz it.


    I thought Portsmouth are after him as well though...

    We can bid for all these players but very few of them will actually come!

    Perhaps with his cut of a possible $4m he could get his teeth fixed & I agree with Jobr (help!!!) off load Francis & pay his train fare.
