maybe something to do with him being a private schoolboy, which is atypical for a footballer? |
And people wrongly claiming him to be of the JCB Bamford family I suspect. |  | | |

His goal against Wrexham was unbelievable finishing ability.
At this level, when fit, he scores goals - about as good a goalscorer as you'll find at this level.
Of course fitness is the question mark against him, can we take that risk currently, I don't know. |  | | |

Whoa. Let's not get over enthusiastic. "who would be capable of playing in the PL too"
He's certainly not that. |
@Chelts
Do you not think he has that ability? He is a classy footballer who can score outstanding goals, the question marks have been more around him sustaining it over a significant period of time. He is a bit lightweight, but tbh, I can't think of anyone currently 'gettable', without spending £20m, that would be of higher quality in the striker role for us. Would be a starter ahead of Hirst ... if fit. |  |

What about John Wilson? He knew how to get them in the net. |  |

I watched Wilson against Wolves and I know it wasn't exactly a stellar performance from any Wet Spam players but he looked awful
Slow , heavy , lethargic , uninterested |  |

On a free transfer and plenty of room in the squad how much of a risk is it really? Obviously will be on a decent whack but on an 18 month deal I don't really see too much risk. | | | |

There are loads. It might be atypical but its not all that uncommon at all, especially for highly thought of players in top academies as paying school fees is often a hook to get them in, or players with footballer parents who aren't short of cash.
Foden, Bellingham, Lampard all did. ITFC wise Nick Pope, Mings, Norwood, various others all did. | | | |

Not necessarily a bad move. He won't be playing full 90 mins.
Back up for Hirst, or cameo roles. Short term deal. I'm sure we are in a position to offer him more wages than Sheff Utd. |  | | |

I don’t know why since I don’t know the bloke, but there’s something about him I’ve always detested. Unfair? Probably. |
I’m with you on this. Just said the same on the news page about him. Something I can’t put my finger on, but I don’t like the guy,never have. |  | | |

....and it's a big if, then maybe KM thinks Bamford would be ahead of Hirst.
Is he a better finisher?
Possibly.

Why? We're 3rd in the league, I think we'd be fine for the rest of this season at least with Hirst/Bamford/Azon |  | | |

Will come down to salary, and contract length, what our cap on that would be, what other teams are willing to offer.
I think really you would need better in the PL, so would we want to offer more than a 6 month deal. It's unlikely he would accept just 6 months.
There are moving pieces for this deal, don't think it would be straight forward, would imagine multiple clubs will be competing for him. | | | |

There will certainly be competition for him, not least Sheff United where he's doing well but no doubt elsewhere too. If we want him I would think we'll be able to put a decent package his way though, especially in the absence of a transfer fee.
He's not going to be one to lead the line in the premier league but we need a bit of experience and know how. Ultimately if he plays his part in getting us there over the next few months then having another year on his deal is a pretty minor issue in the grand scheme of things and with PL money. We either rate him enough that he sticks around as a bit part, or he's loaned back to the Champ where there would no doubt be interest. | | | |

Not a prolific goalscorer and personally not that keen on him. I think we could do better. But anyone we bring in will be a risk. Besides Bamford is 32 so not a long term proposition. Even to give him a two year contract when players like Morsy and Burgess weren't given one seems absurd. | | | |

Well he certainly isn't going to play the Hirst role. That involves closing down defenders, which naturally means lots of running, one thing Bamford doesnt do now is run around a lot. |  | | |

Sheffield United have just posted about beating us in the FA Cup in 2018. Think it may be a cryptic dig at our interest in him. Journos up there reckon Bamford has agreed to stay with them | |

Whilst I appreciate January is a tricky month to do deals, I have to say - like I mentioned on another thread the other day - that if 12 months worth of Prem money is scouting you Patrick Bamford, I genuinely think something is wrong within the club. |  |
