Patrick Bamford

Good luck to him, i think we will start using these players more and more. Not sure when but there must be reasons for signing them. The present is shit but the future does look promising. Hope he gets his shot.

This fact was always going to remain, it was trial and error for André last summer, and we must appreciate the fact he's learning as he goes along. I'm browsing through major deals that occurred this window.. Saha to Tottenham was considered the biggest story in England. Barca, Madrid & Milan x2 were as quiet as us. PSG made a few, but QPR made probably the most.

You must be patient and ride out this season of utter difficulty. June-August will be interesting and we have many reasons to be optimistic because of the targets that were approached in the last 2 windows.

I know all that mate and I am patient. I wrote an article some time ago about all those things and decisions the Club will have to make in the near future.

It's not a risky deal or a bad deal. It's a good deal and yes, I am happy to have another talented player at the club. 1.5m for a talented player is a good price. I do not have a problem with that. We probably didn't want to risk losing him out in the summer and that's all fine and dandy...

As I said, problem is bringing in another young player who will grind it out in the reserves, then do some loans and and still not get enough chances. It has nothing to do with Pat personally, it's just that we have lots of over 28 players and lots of under 20 players. Those young players need to play more often and when we are supposed to give them that chance we can't risk putting them in because of the pressure we are under and they remain on he bench while the older players play and struggle.

It's is better to have 2 young players who will establish themselves in the 1st team instead of having 60 of them who will rot in the reserves and grind it out in Holland or Germany...

Play youth, don't buy it.

It's a reserve team signing not first.

Be pleasantly surprised if we ever see him have a sustained run in the first team

[Kez 2,727]

Errrm... so has anyone got any information about him? Is he any good?

[manpe 10,861]

He's leading academy goalscorer with 21 goals.

Another young player that will never get a chance in our first team.We will just buy one more Torres.

[EskWeston 696]

Well it was said he is going straight into the reserves. With Prosenik out of the club now and Mitrovic struggling to regain form it will be interesting to see how he does. He certainly seems to have an eye for goal, much like a certain Fabio Borini.

[zolayes 14,489]

and we all know what happened with Borini
