Patrick Bamford

If we want a striker, I think we should be in for this guy, unwanted at Leeds, big, strong and tall striker, good in the air, good hold up play, would get him for around 7/8m, proven championship striker. For the people saying Gayle, it will never happen. Big wages and he’s too small, he’s basically Bobby Reid on higher wages. Anyone got any other names?

big NO from me, the guys ego is massive, he's not lethal in front of goal, goes missing a lot, hence why he's never cemented his spot in a team.

A lot better value out there

Lady Bamford is coming nowhere near my club. He's a posh cheating cockwomble.

No. He was good a few years ago but it all seemed to go to his head even though his form soon dipped. Overrated in my opinion.

One of the most overrated championship players ive seen in years. Not particularly good in the air, not quick, not a good finisher and falls down all the time. Honestly if he scored half the chances Leeds created for him (and that's a lot) Leeds would be in the premier league.

Bamford was a huge miss for Leeds when he was out of the team last season and scored some important goals when he was in

My worry (metaphorically) with Leeds is that they rely on their attack bailing out their defence and got a little 'found out' at the end of the season

Currently, I don't see them doing as well next season but a few signings may well change that

I felt they struggled a lot more when Kemar Roofe was out tbh. But I agree the attacking play for Leeds bailed out their defence a lot last season, but massive credit should be given to Bielsa to get that team playing that style of football when in all fairness I think its a very bang average team. Be interesting to see how they do next season as they were brilliant for 75% of last season but their form fell off a cliff by the last 10 games.
