Based Doug said fuck that one off Frank, hold tight and we'll get you a serious player in January.
On the other hand, Sheffield United look a complete mess.

Wilder actually said in his interview regarding the signing of Bamford that it looks like they (Coventry) want to go for it in January. Or something along those lines.

Im sure if Lampard was adamant that Bamford was a neccessity for promotion then Doug wouldve allowed it. My guess is his wages were too high and Lampard wasnt that arsed about it

It's a sign of how badly expressed the metaphor was that Bamford is in fact the kid, Dougie and Frank are the parents, CCFC is the Solero and Sheff Utd are the choc ice

Yeah, managers aren't going to turn down an extra player but as you say no one seems to have fought too hard to make it happen.

Until Pato last season CF isn't a position of needs and do we want to spend on someone who will be nowhere near match fit and current probably 4th choice?

"But Pat feels he's still got a point to prove. I've talked to him, we've seen him train, talked to Frank, spoke to their medical staff. And it was pretty touch and go whether they took him. I think there was an argument that they might be having a bit of a go at it in January - and quite rightly so - and Pat thought that maybe he wouldn't get the minutes that he wanted."

Play with a traditional centre forward, presumably.

Sounds about right.

Bamford would be useful in our squad between now and Christmas if Wright and Haji get crocked / suspended for stamping on someone’s head (see that Stalybridge thing? Crazy) so in that universe Bamford might be / have been useful to have around until the window opens. It sounds like Doug is hinting that the cheque book is possibly open in January if needed.

Would Bamford have taken a 6 week contract? That’s the touch and go bit it seems.

Good luck to the lad. Sheff United have players that are far better than their position shows.

Would we have been better off signing Hudlin?

if the right player(s) are available hed be crazy not to. Not saying go mad but we’re not going to get a better chance than this.

mess it up and there’s probably a decent chance that key players will be picked off over the summer. These days we don’t just have to worry about other EFL clubs. Lower level PL teams and European sides will be paying attention to what we are doing

Lampard was the one who said Bamford was here purely for training. And that's exactly what happened.

There was zero indication from this end that he was being seriously considered as a signing.
We may have said something along those lines to Sheffield utd to help him get a contract, but quite obviously Doug was under no illusion (unlike you it would appear)

Or maybe your saying Lampard is a bullshitter?

Well maybe they are full of shit?

Look at it this way, Lampard said he was here purely for training.

The "experts" on here said he was here purely for training.

And it turns out he was here purely for training!


I think we can safely draw a line under this one now.

So tell us brain of fucking Britain, was it Lampard or Wilder who was lying?

Do you honestly think for one minute that if Frank wanted to sign Bamford that Doug would not of backed him?

Jesus wept, how fucking dense are you?

I can only imagine that the club called any deal off based on wages for a player who ultimately would have been third in the pecking order behind Wright and Simms.

That's what I would hope will happen. Bamford has no long term future or resale value. Assume he wanted big wages.
Also supports the idea that Lampard does not have the absolute final say on signings, although perhaps he had a rethink as well.

Wonder if we pulled out because we have better coming in in January, maybe someone with more resale value?

Bamford seems like a decent lad , lampard said he was just training early on , never said anything after that and anything could have happened

I dont know why bamford would just lie

He literally has no incentive to lie. It seems likely we would have signed him if Doug didn’t block Lampard wanting to
