You can't help but feel he's weighing up his options otherwise he would have signed by now.
I don't doubt he's enjoyed it here so far and even that as an option he'd be happy to stay. Be nice to see some loyalty for giving him a shot.

However we are not privy to what contract we are offering and what the length of that is.
And then what his agent has discussed with other clubs here or even abroad (USA). Because like most agents they will have done.
 
Getvrid off Danny Ings if it means keeping Bamford
Great idea but for a starters a few hurdles....

1) Who is going to sign Danny Ings
2) Danny Ings is on £30,000 a week until the end of this season (option to extend) so wouldn't be worth terming early
3) That won't be the blocker on whether Bamford signs, there will be 2 reasons.... A) Money, he was on £70k a week at Leeds on his 2nd contract after initial contract was worth £35k B) Contract security... Given Bamford's age (32) he will be looking to sign a 2/3 1/2 year deal to see him to the end of his playing career unless he goes to the end of the season and reassesses then. If he wants to play Premier League football the chances are he won't sign on again for us. The Ipswich rumours are valid in a sense that he is still young enough to finish this season and play next but can't see him there unless he is willing to relocate. If Cov put a contract down, I think he goes there though for the right money with a nice promotion bonus.
 
on the positive side , hes enjoying the service, and getting plenty of goals which is good for his ego and well being

hes a round peg in a round hole for us, might have others stealing the lime light at ipswich or elsewhere or get piles from sitting on benches like he ended up
imagine the joy of scoring the winner at wembley to end our curse
doing at leeds

Maybe Coventry as it’s not too big a commute ….. but no chance Ipswich as I think he’s honest about family being important and not wanting to uproot them.

Assuming he lives in or close to Leeds, I wouldn't fancy that regular commute to Coventry. Well over four hours in the car every day even without the M1's regular traffic issues.
 
At the very least he’ll be using offers from elsewhere to get the very best deal he can from us.
 
I foresee our striking quartet on February 1st will be …..

Will be Cannon , Campbell , Ings & a former Leeds striker

That striker won’t be Bamford from my sources 👀
 
Callum Wilson in talks to be released from West Ham contract as wants to play and they have just signed two strikers Hope he goes to Ipswich and we keep Bamford But would he be an alternative?

If Ings is on £30k pw it's definitely worth terminating early (if possible)
