Paddy Bamford (24 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

This is the point

It's the point people have been making for pages and pages but keeps getting misconstrued as 'don't sign free agents over a certain age'. I'll say it again, Dele Alli is a free agent who's younger than Bamford and has played way more top flight games. Yet no Championship club has gone in for him because he's a shadow of what he was.

I’m just reporting the data, you’re the one with a weird chip on your shoulder. Go on name all the better and more trusted sources we’re waiting. Or were you just trying to be edgy and have ended up looking a twat?

Jeez!

he's still in his 20s

People trust Lampard they’re just saying that having played x games in the top flight alone doesn’t mean he’s a good signing right now.

And just because someone had a bad season marred by injury last season, doesnt mean they should be automatically written off for this season.

Im.not saying he'll come and score 20 goals in half a season and win POTS! However, i genuinely believe if he'd had the same number of goal scoring opportunities this season as Simms, he'd have more than 2 goals on the board!

He had similar minutes at the start of the last season to what Simms as had this year and scored 0 goals. He's not been great at goalscoring for a while, he scored what was it 8 goals the season before?

This is his season that year, increasingly injured and a decreasing amount of goals scored.

Seems a Sheffield United style signing, him and Ings can compare pensions together

Going from memory, I think Frank hinted at some stage that Patterson might get a contract.
Currently we are at a stage where Frank has said he is training with us as a favour. They played together at Chelsea?
With us seeing him all week for a while, the staff will know his worth (or lack of it). If we want him, surely it will only be at a price we like and can afford.
On social media, it said another Championship club are after him, which may be the case or agent wishful thinking.
Bamford used to be brilliant at Leeds, then he wasn't. Unsure if injuries caught up with him, but I know the Leeds fans did not rate him in the Championship at the end of his tenure with them.

No Lampard said Paterson was purely training

I know he said that at first, buy way before we signed him, I seem to remember there was a change of emphasis.

 

[long way home]

Sounds like something is about to happen and it maybe both parties have indicated what's on the table or what's wanted. Either way we will find out very soon.

In talks with Sheff Utd now

 

[Gint11]

Ah, didn’t check earlier posts
I don’t want him anyway, too injury prone

 

[DT-R]

Depends on which source you believe/listen to. Ive just googled "Patrick Bamford news" and the top 2 stories that appear, one from 23 mins ago says he's in talks with Sheffield Utd and the second from 1 hour ago says he's in talks with WBA! take your pick of Idle gossip, most likely started by his agent to drum up some interest! All I can say, is after half the forum have called him past it/shite/old/not worth it etc, you can guarantee whoever he does sign for, he'll bag a goal past us.

He's obviously been way off it in training and decided the blades are more his speed

The Sheffield United story is being linked to Mike McGrath who is a respected journalist from the Telegraph (not the coventry version)

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

To be fair, that's just fans saying they should sign him, nothing from WBA (the club itself) about signing him so I don't think there's interest.

SportsBoom are reporting that we're in talks on a contract with wages and contract length to be agreed, then it's a done deal.

So just small details. Like, all of them!
