Lennie Lawrence on Robert Earnshaw.

"We're definitely seeing the emergence of someone who's close to being a genuine Premiership player.

"His general game, his sharpness and approach to everything is improving in leaps and bounds."

Lennie Lawrence on Jermaine Defoe.

"Jermain Defoe is probably the only player in the First Division who would attract serious interest from a top six Premiership club.

"In other words, you'd have to pay £10m to sign him. He's had Premiership experience which Earnshaw obviously hasn't had."
