Thought it worth comparing who we are allegedly being linked with in terms of strikers, loan or otherwise. Apologies if i've missed anyone (sorry no Zigic!)... some of these stats are surprising, apologies for any inaccuracy but they're all taken from Wikipedia. Age is in brackets. Marcus Berg (22) 96 games - 52 goals - 1.85 games per goal Sylvain Ebanks-Blake (22) 120 games - 53 goals - 2.26 games per goal Manucho (25) 98 games - 43 goals - 2.28 games per goal Kevin Kuranyi (26) 244 games - 96 goals - 2.54 games per goal Aruna Dindane (28) 243 games - 84 goals - 2.89 games per goal Henri Camara (31) 240 games - 81 goals - 2.96 games per goal Marlon Harewood (29) 370 games - 107 goals - 3.46 games per goal Angelos Charisteas (28) 248 games - 67 goals - 3.70 games per goal Lee McCulloch (30) 374 games - 68 goals - 5.50 games per goal Carlton Cole (25) 145 games - 23 goals - 6.30 games per goal Compare this with our own strikers: Kitson251 games - 94 goals - 2.67 games per goal Ric249 games - 78 goals - 3.19 games per goal Cresswell424 games - 92 goals - 4.61 games per goal Mama274 games - 39 goals - 7.03 games per goal ...and Vince....(sorry!) 114 games - 17 goals - 6.71 games per goal Make of that lot what you will, what it does show in a crude way (purely based on ability to hit the net) is that anybody from Camara upwards would (statistically) improve the first team, although to be fair most would improve the squad. Obviously doesn't take into account ability to fit into the style of play etc. I would personally like Ebanks-Blake or Manucho  |

Dindane, Kuranyi, Ebaks and Camara will do for me any two of those  |

Lee McCulloch would be bought to play on the left, I would have thought.

Probably being too optomistic, will probably end up with Tommy Smith or someone from a championship club.

Surely the chances of Ebanks-Blake leaving Wolves in Jan are slim and none?

What it also does show that if we can get Kitson fit and we can supply him with the ammuntion he has a better score rate than fuller |
