CONFIRMED Patrick Bamford

[derfblade.3]

Patrick isn’t related to the JCB Bamfords.

I m,ust be wrong then.....

Patrick Bamford's father is Lord Anthony Bamford, the billionaire chairman of JCB excavators, whose family wealth is estimated in the billions (around £9.5 billion by the Sunday Times in 2025), making them one of Britain's wealthi

Did well upfront with invisible Campbell

Relying on AI? Bad idea.

 

[joe casey]

Stinks of desperation. Anybody who is free in November is either rubbish, injured, perennially unfit or thinks they're worth more than they are.

Think this one may tick all boxes

No idea what you're on about pal

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

No idea what you're on about pal

Alot of football managers on here didnt wait to give Bamford and Reidewald a chance.

"Must be shit no club since the summer" is the usual comments.

 

[Booker4]

I expected him to be shit, christ I sort of wanted him to be shit.

He is not shit, in the last 4 games he might be our most effective forward.

My son calls him Patrick Bumface.

Please tell me your son is a grown man! That would make it even funnier!

I was one of those who wanted Bumface I just wanted to add! I think I was in a minority! But I also wanted Leon, Maxine and Marlon King! 3/4 isn't bad though!

Out of that list I think Madine signing got the most hatred pre signing.

 

[Blade56]

Was sceptical about signing him but got to admit he’s looked class thus far.

Billionaire you say, might be in for S6, but only if he’s a MASSIVE billionaire.

He's the perfect fit then for 'Bumhole Lane'

I was well and truly wrong about him,but then I know fuck all.

But humble enough to admit it.

Looks like the glue we needed

 

[Harry's Game]

Some embarrassing comments that have been proved wrong on this thread..

….. a couple of them from me…

 

[de g.]

Yeah, it's a mea culpa from me too. I missed Portsmouth, but he looked class against Stoke.

He's still a shithouse, but now he's our shithouse it doesn't smell so bad.

There was a mouthy Norwich fan on here a while back peddling the myth that Bamford was related to the JCB family, maybe he’ll be back on tomorrow to dispense some more of his dubious wisdom.

It's a weird thing to make up. If he actually was from the (JC)Bamford familiy, mildly interesting anecdotes aside, I couldn't care less.

He went to a posh school in Nottingham, but nobody should feel ashamed of having a privileged education / upbringing. Good for him.

Patrick Bamford has explicitly addressed and denied the JCB rumours on several occasions. In interviews he has called the idea that his dad is a billionaire connected to JCB “a myth” and explained that people, including a Leeds coach, wrongly assumed his father was involved with the JCB-owning Bamford family.

 

[ancientblade]

i think bamford and cannon could be a very interesting pairing

I think that's how it's spread - he had a privileged enough background (went to a few- paying school etc.) and people have put two and two together.

 

[jimmymuir]

Had an unsuccessful loan spell at Norwich, so hopefully there's even more incentive for him to score tonight.

And Dion Dublin weren't the son of the bloke out of Showaddywaddy either!

He wasn’t. But Wednesday did have a player whose dad was in Showaddywaddy.

Step one….

I have no idea why I know this, but it’s Scott Oakes!

Yep, under the moon of pork.

Correct.

If we could remove all the Tomfoolery in between, moving on Souza and getting Riedewald and 13m wouldn’t have been the worst bit of trading ever done!

 

[beatific blade]

Appreciate I'm not necessarily adding any groundbreaking insight here, but this is the truth (and only my 2nd ever ITK after James Beattie):

I know someone who is very close to "Pat" Bamford and they never tell me anything. But this week they've squeaked that it's genuinely a 50/50 whether Pat stays or goes elsewhere. He loves Wilder and would happily sign but he does have some great options on the table (more lifestyle than anything). Most likely scenario if he does stay is agreeing simply the rest of this season, which would give Pat and his folks more time to decide what they want to do next year.

Also we have Frank Lampard to thank that Bamford came in the first place. Lampard personally intervened to convince Wilder of Bamford's fitness/durability.
