Can see your point..

but for all those goals the team (and it's a team game) has not remotely looked like gaining promotion. I fear this team needs too much strengthening in too many areas to be a contender and I doubt we can get the quality required without the £4m plus that Earnie would bring in.

I've said it a billion times before so I guess once more won't hurt:

1. I don't like Earnie as a lone striker
2. I don't like Hucks plus 2 out-and-out strikers

I think we need a good target man in the team (we probably also need a decent GK, CB and CM as a minimum requirement to be playoff contenders) to be successful and I don't think we can play one at the same time as BOTH Hucks and Earnie. So economics (since they must be two of our highest earners) suggests one of them ought to go. Given such a nasty choice I would probably prefer to sell Hucks and get a good target man to play alongside Earnie, but the truth is Hucks isn't going anywhere and wouldn't raise enough money anyway so reluctantly I would sell Earnie.
