A return for Earnshaw?

A campaign sprouting on the social network by Cardiff City fans to support a return of fans favourite Rob Earnshaw back to Cardiff  has seen the player talk to South Wales Echo. Simply put he would love to come back to Cardiff City and would never rule out a return.

He is one of many players out of contract at the end of the month and I am sure there would be a number of clubs who would be interested in having him in there squad. I have never really been a fan of players or manager coming back to their original clubs. Take the last two players to return to Cardiff after spells away Michael Chopra and Jason Koumas both I would say failed to hit the heights of form they had the first time around.

He (Earnshaw) only scored nine league goals last season from 27 starts plus nine appearances from the bench. Mackey will know the ins and outs of Earnshaw being a coach and manager at Watford he would have had numerous reports on him. We will have to see if Mackey wants him or feels he would fit into his system of play. Someone once told me Earnshaw was a one trick pony and easy to read by the opposition not sure what he meant or if he meant in past or now, but I think he would be better off somewhere anywhere, but Cardiff.

Speaking to the paper Earnshaw said:

“People how close I am to the club and its supporters.

“I have a lot of fantastic memories at Cardiff and once I return from my holidays next week I will sit down with my agent and see what the best step forward is for me and my family, but I would not rule out rejoining Cardiff.

“I have several offers on the table and I do not want to put any more pressure on the new manager (Malky Mackey) as he’s just been in the job for a few days, but I loved it at City when I was there. If there was a formal offer on the table when I get back, who knows it could be a goer.

“I’m aware of the whispers back home linking me with Cardiff and I’m Flattered.

“But at this moment in time that is all they are, but once I speak to my agent I’m sure things will start moving very quickly one way or another.”
