Patrick Bamford

Don't like the fact that his loan is taking so much time. I hope he does end up at Boro eventually.

he cant be released until the rest of the striker issues are resolved. Loans to non PL clubs have different

deadlines

And he might not even be loaned at all if Torres leaves and we fail to bring in Destro or Remy.

But the rumors of him being loaned out to Boro have been going on long before Costa's injury or Milan's in terest in Torres. I guess, though, it has worked out for the best that his loan has been delayed in case we need him here first. Though I genuinely doubt Jose would rely on him till January.

Well, right on cue

Best of luck, Pat.

Unless he scores 20 goals+, I doubt it. If Costa proves he isn't up to it this year we will sign someone like Cavani next summer and Costa reduced to 2nd choice. Remember our fund will be available again and our team is pretty much strong and have depth in every single position bar striker.

Actually baring some miracle I don't think Bamford will make it here at all, even if he plays well now he will likely have to prove himself the season after in BPL 1st. Very very slim chance of making it here for him.

Boro are trying to sign another striker, Jelle Vossen from Genk. They already have loads, not good news for Patrick really.

I dunno - it can go 50/50 - but imagine his confidence if he does get a run - bags a few and keeps all the other strikers on the bench! That's #like_a_boss - so fingers crossed for the lad - he has the talent...

He has ALREADY achieved more than I ever expected so who knows in another year or two ,,he might be

back with us

Yeah I think he is an overachiever. Maybe it is because he is pretty much under the radar and hence less is expected of him.

I think he has excellent shooting technique too.
