EARNIE TO FOREST??

After last night's strong rumour in this Blog that Robert Earnshaw was set to switch to Premiership new boys Stoke City - and it may still happen - news emerged today that Derby have accepted an offer of £2.5M from Championship new boys Nottingham Forest.

Clearly, that is a price beyond City's reach at present while despite losing £1.1M if the sale goes ahead, it is still a high price for a player who really hasn't produced in the last couple of years.

It remains to be seen whether Earnie wants to drop to the Championship having shown little interest in doing that for Cardiff, even for a short-term loan.

But the boy needs regular football now. both for himself and for Wales' best interests.
