CONFIRMED Patrick Bamford

[VonBrysonsExpress]

I've hated bamford at every club he's played for, he's the hated players hated played, even Suarez thinks he's a horrid shit of a player but loves him because he makes him look honest. This is pure desperation now, the shit topping of the already effluent cake baked so far. We've regressed so far, can't even be arsed to call out Wilder on this, it's just so predictable.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Whilst the toys come flying out the pram, I discriminated hurled by the usual protagonists. I’d just like to point out one or two more salient facts.

1. It’s a low risk signing. On a contract until the end of January, we aren’t pot committed to giving him a longer deal.

2. We are out of the transfer window. We can only sign free agents, we can’t go and take anyone who is contracted, either on loan or transfer

3. We are woefully short up front, haven’t got a big lad up top. Bamford is over six foot tall. Campbell has fallen off a cliff. Cannon is dog shit, Ings looks like he can’t run any more, One is very raw and the Championshp is above where he is at now.

4. Last polarising striker we brought in on loan was Gary Madine and that didn’t work out too badly. Some of us have learned our lessons from kicking off at unpopular signings or managerial decisions.

So who else is free, fills some of the boxes that Bamford does and is willing to come on a 7 week contract?

Don’t think anyone can argue against those facts….yeh it’s hardly exciting but it’s another show of financial support by the owners.
There’s no doubt it’s better to have Bamford than not have him.

He’s basically here on trial playing for a contract, if he plays well then expect we’ll sign him up for the 2nd half of the season…at least.

And that's what any sane fan would understand.

 

[bakeblade]

This has all the hallmarks of a relegation season now. I'll predict it now - he'll make 3 sub appearances, no goals, and maybe even a red card to throw in for good measure.

There is no way he is fully fit, having not played a game since May, and not started a game since August 2024.

I get the arguments about it being a difficult market, but it's not like we're going to be paying him nothing either is it? If he was just wanting to play football there's someone who would have took him on by the middle of November, the fact they haven't says a lot for his fitness and his wage demands.

'In the medical department, Lizzie Prew and Samantha Barnett have also joined the club'
Is he why we've also increased our medical staff?

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

The club's panicking, how desperate are we? 7-week trial, why are we looking to the likes of Bamford,
'COS THE FUCKING WINDOW'S SHUT ISN'T IT?!!!

Looks like we are going back to one up front then

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

This has a nice ring to it...

"Who put the ball in the Wednesday net, Patrick fucking Bamford"

 

[HD8 Blades]

Patrick Bamford - The next Bobby Davidson?

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Doesn’t matter who we have up front we don’t create any chances for the forwards
We play slow boring football

 

[S64 Blade]

Feel a bit better about this now it’s just until January. Hopefully it’ll help incentivise him!

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

He might have something to contribute at the age of 32 if he gets fit and motivated.

He did score one of the best hat-tricks I've ever seen, in a Leeds match away at Aston Villa. Well worth a watch. Should be on Youtube.

Perhaps more to the point, it maybe confirms that we will be consistently playing 4-4-2. We looked better against QPR playing that system.

 

[Tazzy]

Never heard him speak before. Not that it matters but is he gay?

WTF I know some are not happy but this is low from a Blade

 

[Bladeloyal]

WTF I know some are not happy but this is low from a Blade

Good job he isn't a blade

 

[54yrblade]

Just shows how entitled some of our fans have become…..in some ways I’d love us to drop into league 2 so all the part-timers can see what’s it’s really like at a struggling club. On paper not a great signing but we’re no longer a parachute club next season so won’t have finances to dish out fancy salaries.

A short term deal on Bamford shows business competency….but agree it’s a gamble to expect him to produce at short notice.

The Div 4 season was ridiculously good fun

Much better than the PL!

Patrick Bamford - The next Bobby Davidson?

You never know! It could just happen...

 

[Thrice]

Bamford, Ings, Riedewald, Mee, Godfrey, Ogbene. That's half a team of players the club has brought in that have barely played any football in months.

At least we're getting them up to speed for their next club I suppose.

 

[Big.Dane.w]

Be reyt, just give him a chance and see how he gets on, could be good for us def can’t be any worse

 

[Half Bond Jls]

That's the campest video I've seen all year

 

[Tarqs]

I've never a problem with constructive criticism ,but come on some of the anger towards him is ridiculous,I'll trust the manager and staff ,some work some don't that's football .and I don't play the massive blade I am .
Reasons for he's a different type of striker than we have
Downside would be fitness and desire has he got it

I think it's more anger towards the club and the direction we've gone in.

 

[Tarqs]

OR they learn something from training with a vastly experienced Premier League/Championship striker

We already have Ings.

 

[ancientblade]

Doesn’t matter who we have up front we don’t create any chances for the forwards
We play slow boring football

exactly spot on midfield is our big big problem without hamer and davies weve nothing creative in there peck is our number 1 weak link in that area he gives us nothing and thats wilders fault for picking him should have been benched weeks ago

 

[Varkanoid]

He's got a Podcast.

The support is blind.

They had a strategy (which was great on paper but shit in reality) and that's why they parted ways. They've shit the bed after 6 matches and completely gone 180 on their strategy towards 'sign anyone that's available'...

This isn't a good strategy.

Needless to say he was also backed last January which coincided with a massive downturn in points return.

 

[Cheeky Blade]

‘Chillax’ Blades…he’s only brought him in to nod a couple in at back post against pigs.

 

[espoo blade]

LUFC News taking it rather well. Dare I dream he has a fabulous 2 seasons with us and scores against them next season when they're relegated. Funny old game.

Dear Patrick,
Congratulations.
You’ve actually managed the impossible.
Not scoring an open goal? Expected.
Missing a penalty? Standard procedure.
Getting injured clapping the fans? Classic Bamford behaviour.
But choosing to leave Leeds United for Sheffield bloody United…
That, Patrick, is a new personal best.
Honestly, we didn’t think you could drop lower than some of those finishing attempts, but here we are, you’ve nutmegged even our lowest expectations.
You could’ve gone anywhere:
– America
– Spain
– A quiet Championship loan where nobody’s watching
– Early retirement in the Cotswolds
But no. You sat there and thought, “hmm… what’s the most disrespectful option available?”
And signed for that lot.
The club where football goes to suffer.
The club whose highlight of the decade was simply “kicking people.”
The club players join when they want to know what it feels like to play in a windy supermarket car park.
We tried with you, Patrick. Oh, we TRIED.
We defended you when you missed sitters from six yards.
We chanted your name when you tripped over your own feet.
We even convinced ourselves your “hold-up play” was something more than accidental chest control.
And THIS is the repayment?
Joining a side whose tactical philosophy is basically run about a bit and hope someone falls over.
Fine.
Enjoy Bramall Lane.
Enjoy the hoofball.
Enjoy fans who’ll turn on you after one bad touch so violently you’ll be begging for the safe embrace of Elland Road therapy sessions.
And if you happen to score against us?
No hard feelings.
We’ll just assume it bounced in off your shin.
Sincerely,
A Leeds United fanbase going through all five stages of grief; rage being the main one.
P.S.
Try not to get injured walking out of the tunnel.
We genuinely worry.

Muppets!

Patrick Bamford - The next Bobby Davidson?

More like the next Bobby Ball to go along with the other comedian Tommy Cannon

 

[Balti Pie]

Jon Stead vibes

 

[Ned the Donkey]

it's just so predictable.

The old classic of predicting things after they've happened

 

[blade too long]

Lasr centre foward we signed on the run up to a sheffield derby at hillsborough was Bobby Davison, bit of deja vu wouldnt go amiss

 

[bonobo]

I always liked him as a player, although he is someone who is going to always be scoring in fits and starts. We definitely need extra bodies up front. But it is also another injury affected player, lacking game time and a pre season...who if we can get upto speed, may or not may be past his best. Ings, Mee, Reideweld, Godfrey,Holding...
