maybe because...

Earnie is in a whole different class as a goalscorer than any of the players you mentioned, and alongside a decent target man (doesn't have a to be a hugely expensive one) gives us far more than any of those. Under the circumstances I think we could afford to sell one of the smaller strikers, but (since I suspect we know Earnie will be gone if we don't go up this year) that isn't likely to happen.
