    Why?

    Unless Luke Varney is more seriously injured than they are letting on.

    can never have too many strikers !! Should mean the end of Benty !!

    can't see the value in this one and certainly not at £3.5m

    If we have £3.5 mil to spend it is better spent on a centre half

    Len I reckon you're right otherwise it just wouldn't make sense.

    Anyone know how much Derby paid for him?

    Not happy about this, we dont need another striker - yet we desperately need a centre back (or five). Doesnt make any sense, particularly since hes not very good at all.

    Striker musical chairs - crazy!

    Mind you, wouldn't be surprised if Holloway was just on a massive wind-up. He does have a "unique" outlook for a manager after all.

    i actually disagree, i think we do need a new striker.

    The balance isn't right to me. Ilewumo, McLeod and Bent are all too similar. I'm presuming Bent is moving on. With Varney injured and Todorov having a flakey injury record, we need another different option. Earnshaw is little, awkward, pacey and scores goals. You can never have enough goalscorers in this league.

    I'd be pleased if true.

    don't get me wrong if we sign him I'd be happy he's got a cracking goalscoring record. Just think our priorities are defensive

    I was just posting about that in the other Earnshaw thread. Strange stuff.

    I thought there were rules about players moving more than once in a transfer window, but that's obviously wrong.
