Just wondered what people's thoughts are, how important do you think it is to get these two signed up?
Firstly I have to point out that I get to about 6-7 matches a year so I am not suggesting I have a fully informed view....but from what I have seen and then heard on local radio.....I don't think we should break the bank to keep these two.
Earnshaw is a good player, but needs too many opportunities to score and if the reputed salary he is on is correct, I think we could pick up better value for money elsewhere. Let's remember that even in his best season he didn't crack in the 20-30 goals that we need from our main striker (though we then stray into the debate about supply lines and BD's lack of width!!!)
Moussi again is a good player, but unfortunately is injured far too often....this wouldn't be a problem if you got the best of Moussi on his return, but he needs a fair few games under his belt before he starts to control games like we need our CM to do.
Thoughts?
Moussi and Earnshaw

I think SM should do everything within his power to retain the services of Guy Moussi. Yes, he has had some injury problems and takes time to get back to form (who doesn't?), but if you can keep him fit he is a different class. He is a player that you really don't want to play against, he is strong, wins possession, has good distribution and a fantastic engine. For me, on his day, he is the best defensive midfielder in the championship.
With regards to Earnie, I'm in 2 minds. He is a great talent, fantastic movement. He is though extremely injury prone and the wrong side of 30. He has high wage demands for a player who will only play 15-20 games a season. Perhaps it would be better to get someone young and new in, like Maynard who will guarantee you goals.

i cant stand hearing "good engine" i remember kenny burns laughing at a caller on 106 phone in for saying it,its the worse saying i ever heard in football.it makes me cringe when i hear paul merson say it,he says it to describe every player.why not just say he is fit?as all footballers should be.

another pet hate in football is when players do that cross thingy when they come on.if there was sutch thing as a god "im not stupid enough to belive there is" would it not be cheating when they ask for help?just think if god was real,how can the team that preys loose? if this god can make bushes talk,make you walk on water,raise the dead,fill a boat with 4million animals ect then a couple of goals would be a doddle for him!!!

I think they are both needed and both need to stay. We need to add to the squad and not lose key players.
We should be having 2 players for every position.
Obviously if wages are an obstruction then.....
