If Patrick Bamford scores a ‘Patersonesque’ volley in the 94th minute to confirm our promotion then sign him up now I say.

Surely this all depends on how fit he is and what wages he'd demand. If he's in good nick, raring to go, and realistic about money, he'd be a fantastic addition to the squad IMO - always thought he was a very fine player.

But if he's struggling at 80% fitness and looking for silly wages we'd be mad.

I don't see the sense in having a fixed opinion either way without having that information. Lampard will know.

He was let go by his club / I think he literally played a few minutes and got sent off and never appeared again. He’s had many problems but still surprised that he and a club haven’t made a go of it

You do realise that having premier league experience 3 years ago doesn't automatically mean that your guaranteed to always be better that a player at the top of the championship dont you?

I mean let's just ignore the 2 relegations from the Premier league that he has, and the fact that he was fucking woeful in his last season in the PL (4 goals in 28)
The guy is 32 ffs, and there might be a reason that hes currently unemployed

By your totally fucked up logic .....

Alan Shearer, ...."ive got well over 400 PL appearances"

SBT member ..."wow that's great, that's shit loads more than Wright, Simms and BTA, I bet your a great character too, can you sign for us?"

Alan Shearer, .... " well I could but im 55 now, and my knees are fucked, and I cant move much, you will need to send a taxi as im in a wheelchair now"

SBT member .... "Don't worry about that, you've got over 400 PL appearances, you must be better than Simms, you start the next game"

Alan Shearer, ... "can I bring my mate along too, hes got loads of PL appearances"

SBT Member, .... "sure you can, what's his name?"

Alan Shearer, .... "Craig Bellamy"

SBT Member, .... "Fuck off you baldy northern c**t"

A lot of the same action from different angles. The lack of goals in the last 12 to 18.months is a big concern, free or not

So are you also concerned with Simms lack of goals? Or is that ok because he's got age on his side?

You OK hun?

Also, are we really comparing signing a 32 yo Bamford to signing a 55 you Shearer? As far as analogies go, thats one of the more ridiculous!

So do you think he will accept 5k a week then? No one is saying he's demanding 70k a week but when you have been on that money you aren't going play for a tenth of that 3 months later. He will want big wages.
We signed Joe Cole on loan so Villa would have paid most of his wages.
Wilson is allegedly getting 25k a week basic and 50k appearance fee. 75k a week for 6 or the 9 weeks of the season so far. If they play a midweek game as well he will be on more than he was on at Newcastle.

Wilson is not on the same wage as Wright and Grimes

Actually yes. Thats why hes on the bench, and shows we dont need another striker that doesnt score

A 6 month deal sounds a no brainer for me, an experienced player to aid and bolster the squad and we can sign better next season if we go up and if we dont we give him a 1 year extension if he performs decently

People need to realise we’re fucking massive now. If Frank wants to sign Patrick Bamford and pay £1000s a week to arse about on the training field, being a nice bloke about the place, then guess what’s gonna happen.

Sorry, but are we writing off one striker as shit because of his goals, but classing Simms as good because of his xG? Not his ACTUAL goals scored, but his xG? Not even basing it on his goals scored, but goals he "could" have scored! Fuck my life! Get a fucking grip! Fucking embarrassing

@DT-R this is a bit lucky for you innit, so his xg and his actual goals per 90 minutes are actually pretty good.

But half the rate of xG! Meaning he's missing half of his chances! Unlike BTA who is doubling his xG to goal ratio!
All you've done is prove Simms is shit at finishing his dinner! Nothing more
