Patrick Bamford - should he get a chance?

Featured Replies

I already donate, hence the donator badge under my profile. I don't have to be coerced through a bet. :)

 

you are no fun - ok JT v Falcao & you can take JT

I got one for you....Costa vs Falcao. That's a genuine bet there because it's such an unknown quantity either way! I take Costa.

give me both Remy & Falcao for that bet & I will take it - all comps or domestic?

How is that fair, Costa might not play more than 10 this season?! He's not ever scored a goal in preseason.

You get Mikel and Matic, I get Costa.

Prem only.

We got a deal?

Remember you get a donotor badge under your pic if you have to donate.... ;)

Let's take our original bet...I take Bamfordinho & you take Falcao - Prem only - that is very fair IMHO

Says the man who gets the kid who scored a hat trick this week. Sounds unfair to me....

TBF Bamfordinho might not start - CP did sign Wickham, who IMHO is very capable as a Prem Striker - I thought you had faith in El Tigre?

Every thought of becoming a dentist? You have a talent for putting things in other peoples mouths, namely words. I don't remember expressing a strong faith in Falcao?

[emoji13] to you calling me a dentist - ok no bet but I will take any poster on this site that Bamfordinho will score more than El Tigre

You have a gift called common sense. I don't think anyone sane would take the bet.

That is actually sad if true - we have a youngster that we loaned out & have replaced him with an over the hill truck ?_?

Agreed mate. Hopefully he can prove us wrong though? We'll see I guess. How about I take Ivanovic and you take Cahill?

Loaning players out has proven to be very difficult but this is really starting to get frustrating.

He is currently wasting a year of his career, another loan to Middlesbrough would have been a lot better.

He wanted a loan in London as he wants to put down roots in preparation for integrating himself at Chelsea.

Just wonder if Pardrew intended on selling Gayle and Campbell but deals fell through.

He was player of the year in the champiojship last year, he should be getting games. Recall him if he's not and find him a club who will play him.

As stated above. Really need clauses in the loan contracts of our most promising players stating that if they aren't playing at least 50%of the time after a month then they can be recalled at no cost and they still surrender the loan fees.

I think Bamford's step up to playing for an EPL team on loan was appropriate and necessary. His achievements at Middlesbrough were impressive and I think he was worthy of moving up the next step to prove his worth before he was ready to be a part of our squad in the near future.

 

However, whether Crystal Palace was the right fit for him or not remains to be seen but it hasn't been a positive start so far but he has the capabilities to impress if he's given the chance to do so.

I agree he should be getting Premier League minutes, but he's not getting them at the moment. I simply stated that getting minutes for Middlesbrough would have been better than sitting on the bench all season.

 

Palace got 10th place last season and it was clear Pardew was a good fit for them. Naturally they were going to try and build on this with players like Cabaye coming in. Maybe we should have known going from the Championship to a top 10 team in the PL would be a step too high for him.

I know they hadn't bought Wickham then but we should really be more careful, this isn't the first time this is happening. We should just invoke some recall clauses or something.
