No offers?

It was going to be impossible to keep him, now it seems that nobody is prepared to make an offer. Proving how you can be the hottest property one minute and just one of the crowd next.

Despite newspaper talk, radio phone in rumours and general pub talk all over South Wales Cardiff City manager Lennie Lawrence has admitted the club have not received an official offer or even a formal approach for their international striker Robert Earnshaw. Celtic, Aston Villa, Birmingham, and Fulham have been linked with him.

It was reported recently that Charlton's manager Alan Curbishley had admitted an interest in the highly rated Wales international. But Lawrence said "I can honestly say we haven't heard from any club about Robert Earnshaw.I'm speaking to managers at all levels, including the Premiership, and Robert has not been mentioned."

It seems that nobody is prepared to put their money on the table, which might be of some concern for the Bluebirds and Earnie himself.
