Derby County have confirmed that they have accepted an offer for Robert Earnshaw but while they have not named the club and media hints are that Noriwch and Nottingham Forest have been making enquiries, this blog understand he'll be joining long term admirer and City fan Tony Pulis at Premiership newbies, Stoke City.
Cardiff have enquired themselves about Earnshaw and tried to land him on loan this season but you wonder how serious it was as we never seemed to have the finances for such a deal.
Earnie will be relieved to be moving having clearly been out of favour and unable to get a look-in at Derby despite being their record signing at £3.5M and the club being the worst so far in the Premiership. His record of just 1 goal and 7 starts in the Premiership says it all. It has also cost him his place in the Wales squad.
Can only hope it works for Earnie whose career seems to be frittering away with no mark Premiership clubs and not really developed or been as effective leaving City as he was with us. Stoke City, a physical long ball side, doesn't seem the sort to get the best out of him either.
