Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 Total BS as Wolves wouldn't let him go, BUT, would be a terrific signing. More proven than Maynard and Sharp really, strong, fast. Hasn't had much luck with injury and it doesn't help that Wolves spend their Premier League lives too terrified to ever play 2 strikers. Although McCarthy did have a strop recently because he was told to reduce the size of his squad and EB himself maybe getting a little bored of being 3rd choice in a team which plays with only 1 striker unless absolutely necessary. Rumour is not as crazy as it sounds, methinks. The Gorkss thing also rings true. Yes, it looks like it's not going to happen now but the plan might have been to unveil the lad tomorrow.

Wadge Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 E-Banks Blake is an absolute work horse, when Wolves beat Liverpool at anfield last season he worked his absolute socks off, he was all over the defence for 90 minutes, still chasing the full backs down in the 92nd minute. Not sure if he is the type of striker that will compliment Rickie though. My Wolves supporting mate told me earlier in the week that he is indeed 3rd choice striker and will start season on bench.

K,Billy's supersound Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 i would really like this to happen i believe he could do really well in our team, big strong and pacy scores goal's at this level. imo he is much better than maynard, sharp or any other we have been linked with and would be well worth 3.5million.

Pilchards Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 Might have some legs this one. I mentioned two days ago on the shopping list thread we had two large bids excepted for players (one from a premiership team) before the Oxy deal went through and they was done and dusted with the players agreeing terms. The hold up was like buying a house I was told, basically we need to watch the market move he said. So who are Wolves bringing in might be the question?

Giordano Posted 11 August, 2011 Share Posted 11 August, 2011 Ebanks is a good player but he's no replacement for Lambo if that is a characteristic we are looking for in a striker - hes only 5ft 8" so hes actually an alternative to connolly/barnard i would say. The obvious wolves striker that might be back up for Lambo is Sam Vokes of course...ex cherries 6ft 2" oft loaned out....Fletcher is the superstar option up front but no chance of getting him i'd say.

I would suggest after targeting Billy Sharp, Nicky Maynard and Jay Rodriguez during the summer that Ebanks-Blake is exactly what we're looking for. If fit, Lambert is going to start most matches and Guly can fill in for him if not, but what we're really missing upfront is that extra bit of pace, especially now Chamberlain has left, so someone with those qualities is what Adkins will be looking for.

He's an alternative to all of them - he has pace that the others dont (though Connolly's quick in terms of pinching that first yard/reading the game). I assume that's why we might be interested in him (along with being proven in NPC). No reason, EB couldn't be used as a targetman. He's strong and can hold the ball up, though he's tended to worked better when playing with a big man i.e. Iwelumo who can win flicks for him to chase.

Do you really think our club employs someone to pick up potential signings a few times a year? Go on SaintsPlayer. Fox said he drove down last night with his dad.
