    My brother is a Wolves fan, says that SEB was a class player, and was gutted they let him go.

    Wolves fans, as expected I guess, seem gutted he has gone.

    Seems that Wolves fans believe he is off to Ipswich - makes sense, i suppose.

    Except that Ipswich lost 15M in 2011/12 so unless they are able to offload several expensive players I can't see how they can onboard another expensive signing. I think Charlton releasing Fuller has freed up cash for this type of signing but will it happen?

    No doubt Chopra and Emmanuel-Thomas would've been on decent contracts though so in that respect, they're not in a dissimilar situation.

    I always look for connections when seriously discussing transfers, so SEB or any other Wolves player to follow Mccarthy to the Tractor boys is logical.

    On the rumours thread someone pointed out that James Vaughan played with SCP on loan at Leicester, I'm sure we will not be alone in pursuing him but it makes some sense.For the same reason I'm surprised no one has linked us with our former loanee Martyn Waghorn who I understand is available on a free.

    Waghorn on a free would be great bit of business.

    If he's going for free, get him in ASAP.

    According to Sundays gossip columns SEB is off to Middlesboro (and Vaughan is off to Huddersfield)

    This is the same gossip column that said Haynes was signing a new deal at The Valley last week though. I'd love to get Ebanks-Blake in. Didn't we go fro Andy Gray instead of him when Pardew was around? Would be doubly lovely to get him in and watch him smash goals in for us if it also showed Pardew up even more. Not that it's needed.

    Ebanks-Blake is and always has been crocked. I wouldnt bother with him. Fat dumpling who will always been on the injury list.

    Games appeared in / total league games:

    45 / 46 in 07/08, 23 goals (Championship)
    41 / 46 in 08/09, 25 goals (Championship)
    23 / 38 in 09/10, 2 goals (Premiership)
    30 / 38 in 10/11, 7 goals (Premiership)
    23 / 38 in 11/12, 1 goal (Premiership)
    40 / 46 in 12/13, 14 goals (Championship)

    Funny definition of "always has been crocked".

    We also have to bear in mind that during those PL seasons, Wolves regularly played 4-5-1 and also had the opportunity to call on the likes of Doyle and Fletcher at various times.

    He has missed loads of games because of injury
  • Callumcafc

    Which games were they?

    In Wolves' last three Championship seasons, he's missed only 12 games. Scored 20+ goals in a team at the top and 15 goals in a team at the bottom. He's got a very impressive record and I think some people are misled by the fact that because he's injured at the moment, it means he's injury prone. Sometimes these things just happen.

    The majority of the games that he missed in the Premier League were because he was stuck on the bench while Doyle and Fletcher were on the pitch.

    Ebanks-Blake struggled to repeat his goalscoring form at Premier League level. After struggling with injuries in early stages of the season,

    In August 2011, he suffered knee ligament damage that put him out of action for six weeks

    The 2012–13 season saw Ebanks-Blake return to his goalscoring form and net 14 league goals, before a broken fibula and sprained ankle suffered against Birmingham on 1 April 2013

    Injuries like that area serious ones that can finish a player. I wouldn't touch him. He looks unfit. He is not the player he was when wolves won the championship.

    he only broken his fibula because he got into the box tried to shoot and toppled over because he is top heavy and ended up like a sack of spuds on the floor!....Plus he is rank number 2 in the top 10 fattest players. Andy Reid being top.

    They *can* finish a player yes, but ACL injuries are so common in football that I could give countless examples of players who have got over them as well. His appearance record simply doesn't back up your assertion that he has missed "loads of games through injury", especially as others have stated that many of those were missed due to being behind Doyle and Fletcher in the pecking order.

    Does it really matter if he "looks unfit" if he still scores lots of goals? I accept he isn't cut out for the Premier League, but you'll find few better guaranteed Championship goalscorers on a free transfer this summer.
