Tomo 21,751 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 But Pardew may see things differently considering they have done alright for him. And Leif has a point with what he said above.P.S. Forgot to mention they also have Glenn Murray.Murray will be a tougher nut to crack but I'd still fancy him, Murray's muturity and expierence might be a problem however.

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Wickham is garbage, genuinely can't believe Palace are spending actual money on him. Murray's the one to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Bamford just scored for Palace in their friendly against Bromley.Make that 3 goals now. Netted a hat-trick in 13 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,145 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Going to need to score regularly to keep his place. They have so many strikers and the thing is they only play with 1 striker up front which makes it more of a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I really dont know if the lad will ever get to wear Chelsea blue but what I do think is we could have taken him out to the States to at least check him out playing in the team.We gave Kenedy a bloody go and he isn't even in the squad!

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Who are the strikers there? On the top of my head there's Campbell and Wickham who are rubbish and Gayle who isn't very good either but has had his reputation enhanced by doing a bit of Liverpool bashing.Have i missed anyone because honestly I'll back Bamford to get in ahead of them 3.Campbell, Gayle and Wickham have lots of PL experience which is also Bamford's biggest issue. I doubt he'll get in ahead of them straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Don't get too excited. He's playing my local team and they are pretty wank. Even I've played on that hallowed turf in a small shitty corner in south east London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsden 4,689 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 If he can't force his way in ahead of Wickham and Campbell (two painfully averages strikers) then he won't make it here and won't deserve too either.If he's a good as we hope he will be/is he will e above those clowns from minute one.You are completely missing the point and looking at it from the wrong angle. For a striker to impress, they need genuine chances and run of games which he won't likely get at palace and even if he manages to score or impress in the extremely rare opportunity he will likely get, it won't be sufficient to help his status on the pecking order and pardew has no reason whatsoever to play him either.The purpose of loan in this scenario is to develop a player and that can only come from constant /regular playing time. Our focus and responsibility as the parent club should have been to find him a team where his chances of getting regular playing time which is crucial for his development is maximised rather than some unicorn "displace 4 permanent competition to prove your worth" egolistical challenge.Bottline is the club didn't have bamford's interest at heart with this loan.

lionsden 4,689 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 You can't really break through as loan player, though, unless there's an option to buy. Managers always prefer the players they have around for the long term. Exactly. The only way I see him getting any meaningful game time regardless of his form is if palace find themselves in a desperate situation and have no choice but to play him like injury crisis or something. I can't remember a loan player that had toncontend with 4 or more competition for places and still managed to ammass decent gane time. I dont care what anyone says this was a dumb loan move from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilshire at the Same club, Welbeck at Sunderland got significant game time despite Bent and Gyan being his competitors.I believe Bamfords got a serious chance of being a regular there.

Wilshire at the Same club, Welbeck at Sunderland got significant game time despite Bent and Gyan being his competitors.I believe Bamfords got a serious chance of being a regular there.He definitely has a serious chance of being a regular there but he will have to score. If he goes on for 2 games without scoring he might lose his place just like that. Look at Sanogo. Easy to say he is an awful striker but Wenger said last season when he loaned him out that he wants him to go a prem team. He started their first couple games I think then after when he failed to score all his appearances were off the bench. But Bamford is a natural goalscorer. This is the prem though so will be interesting to see how he develops but one thing I am sure on is that unless he is scoring on a consistent basis he will be rotated regularly. Hopefully he has enough starts and goals for the loan to prove a successful one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
