[Football] Patrick Bamford to the Albion?

[Cowfold Seagull]

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?

 

[warmleyseagull]

No.

 

[studio150]

Why would we downgrade

 

[severnside gull]

“ considering his poor recent injury record”

No

 

[Clive Walker]

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

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I’m struggling to understand the thinking here. If this is an idle speculation thread aren’t you setting a pretty low bar ?

 

[Change at Barnham]

He has suffered from a plantar fascia injury on his foot for the last year that became a full rupture.
He misses more minutes through injury than he plays.
Next stop, probably back to Middlesbrough or Sunderland.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

This has started well.

 

[Munchkin]

Errr no.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Would prefer Michael Antonio tbh if we're going for lower Prem cast off strikers

The same could probably have been said about Danny Welbeck when we singed him, another player with a poor injury record, yet he has one pretty well.

And l did say a cheeky little bid remember, l certainly wouln't spend a great deal on him.

 

[Easy 10]

Constant sicknote, ankles made of Weetabix, pushing 30, big earner, and no better than we already have.

Other than that, yeah he'd be ideal.

I’ll get the #FreePatrickBamford mugs

 

[Austrian Gull]

Not another Bamford thread - is this some kind of in-joke I am missing out on?

Completely not a signing I could ever envisage us doing.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Is Michael Owen still available?

 

[Da Man Clay]

I can’t think of a single good reason we’d want to sign him.

 

[dazzer6666]

It's a big fat no-no, no ?

 

[Swansman]

Its a no for me and more importantly I'm 99.99% sure its a no from Tony.
