Out of contract in the summer, Shouldn't have cost us too much.

Should do ok providing cover for the wings or in the hole behind our 23 goal striker.

Don't really rate him, looks a bit soft as well. Totally anonymous at the Amex when Posh came down.

Would have thought Palace would have looked a better caliber players with their new dosh rather than Boyd.

Ebanks-Blake, Adomah and Boyd? Would be very good signings.

Boyd will most likely be cover. He will never displace Zaha/Bolasie/Williams/Murray, so if he comes he'll be on the bench most of the time. Nor is he the long term replacement for Zaha, as we want Albert for that.

Good player every time i'v watched him , and he's a palace fan

Ive been to every home and away P'boro v Albion game in recent years. He has a few nice touches, but he's been ok to un-noticeable.

That's borne out by the likes of Norwich and others never truly moving for him.

A lot of that was due to the fact that many thought he was the key to getting the best out of CMS, rather than thinking he was that outstanding.

We have been rumoured to be signing most of the Peterborough team from 2009/2010 season for that reason.

I agree with this.

Ebanks Blake? He's scored 10 goals in 4 years, and is looking a bit porky.

But Brizzle have rejected your bid and are unlikely to let him go

Seaside, do you think you will sign these players?

26 years old and has won the Championship golden boot twice. Wolves fans love him but think he needs a change of scenery. I'm sure we'd be happy to provide, although Wolves want £1m for a player with 5 months left on his contract so they'll need a dose of realism there before anything happens.

Brizzle have rejected two bids. They have said that if we meet their valuation he'll be free to leave.

Bristol City have valued him at £3M though. Ebanks Blake is just another Akinfenwa clone.

Ebanks-Blake is Wolves' top scorer this season with 11 goals. Apparently he's an Akinfenwa clone with a very good record in the Championship for a terrible team.

Bristol City have valued Adomah at £3m. Their local papers are reporting that they'd accept £2m up front. We'll see what happens - I wouldn't be surprised if we got him tomorrow/Thursday.

He's scored 19 league goals since 2009 in 105 appearances. Prolific.

So....

A. You lied when you said he had 10 goals in 4 years
and B. The majority of those appearances have been in the Premier League, coming on as a sub. He has been a regular in the first team this season and has 11 goals.

One thing in his favour is when defending a free kick he takes up the space of two men in the wall.

You're obviously very pleased with him. Good luck with that.

Deal is a long way from done. If we sign him I think he'll be very good for us. Thanks, but I don't think we'll need luck.

If the Boyd signing is completed, along with Adomah and SE-B, I'd be surprised if weren't in the top two at the end of the season.
