Earnie

Personally I never really warmed to him - there was never any prospect of him becoming a medium to long term Norwich player so I never really gave a monkey's about him in the way we love Hucks and Iwan and Malky etc.

And he does have the touch of a leper so I was never impressed with his all round play. Can't argue with the goals but creates nothing for others.

I have no feelings for him one way or the other, just like I don't give two hoots what happens to Dean Ashton - or indeed 95% of modern footballers.

Don't blame them for earning as much money as they can, as long as they don't expect to be "loved" like many footballers of old were. They have to accept that if the show no loyalty then they will get very little back.
