Quite possibly

but his goals to chances ratio almost certainly isn't. He is selfish - which is not necessarily a bad thing - but also when he played we were always looking to set him up - there were several occasions when Dickson or Darren tried to pass to him rather than having a go themselves when they were better placed.
Compared to Bellamy - who was not a totally dissimilar player - Bellamy had a much better sense of when to shoot himself or when to play someone else in. Earnshaw is a good player, but the money could have been more wisely spent and I'm glad we've got it back.
