[Football] Patrick Bamford to the Albion?

[Guinness Boy]

Bamford?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Can guarantee there's now a thread on the Leeds forum along the lines of .... "now Brighton think they can sign Bamford "

I won't laugh it off on the basis that, it's similar in some ways to us signing Welbeck. Obviously a player there, injury laden career, probably a good influence in the dressing room, but no high hopes from anyone at the time of the signing. The key difference is though, Danny was out of contract. We didn't have to pay someone for him or beat the terms of an existing contract. Also we were desperate for someone, anyone, to put the ball away then. Less so now

What a strange thread . Pluck a name out of mid air and ??

 

[WATFORD zero]

Patrick Bamford is a player l have long since liked, scored his fair share of goals pretty much wherever he has been, even forced himself into the England set up a few times.

Now l know we have recently unearthed young Evan Ferguson, and have Danny Welbz too of course, but neither player will play in every game, Evan because he is still a kid and needs to have his games cherry picked for him, and both Danny & Patrick Bamford are somewhat injury prone. With three strikers though it would enable us to play with a ready made goalscoring striker, and not have to rely on any of this "false 9" nonsense that has been prevalent several times this season.

I wonder if Leeds, especially considering his poor recent injury record, might be tempted by a cheeky little bid? Worth testing the water?

So how's it going so far ?

Maybe it needs a poll

 

[Icy Gull]

I haven’t actually compiled it but I doubt he’d make my list of top 20 strikers I’d like us to buy

 

[rool]

This has started well.

RIP this thread?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Is Jordan Rhodes still going?

 

[Justice]

So close and yet so far, I was thinking no Chris Wood thread this window people are finally getting our recruiting methods.
And then this

Welbeck was under contract with Watford, they agreed to cancel it so he could move.

Is Jordan Rhodes still going?

He is, at Huddersfield. Hasn't hit double figures in years though.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He was good for 5 minutes, now back to type. Even Palace wouldn't touch him.

 

[worthingseagull123]

Nah. Leeds would never sell to a European rival ………

I fancy Leeds to go down.

Laughable on several counts:

From our point of view:

- massively injury prone
- very streaky scoring record, suggest championship striker playing in premier league (aka Maupay)
- reportedly paid a hell of a lot - see Bozza thread on wages and look up Leeds

From Leeds point of view:

- just come back from injury and started scoring
- they struggle to score goals since Bielsa left, don't think selling one of your strikers when facing a relegation battle is a good idea
- loved by Leeds fans

I suspect they're a bit puzzled as to why we haven't tot a 14 page #FreePatrickBamford thread on the go - bless their little woolly heads.....

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I'm sure the "Ben White not for sale" is still quite fresh in their minds and this would give them an opportunity to get one back on us.

Per others, we have a more experienced sick note and a VERY promising 18 year old, with maybe's like Ensisco and Undav as work in progress.

Our recruitment method is we get cheap experience [Welbz, LaLaLand, Veltman] and seek untapped talent from overseas - Bamford won't be a target unless, perhaps, on a free with Welbz retired - which ain't the case ....

Good God no. Would be about as useful to us as Billy Paynter, another Leeds reject.
