Patrick Bamford

[LDN Blue 7,903]

He's the reason I don't want us to buy a 3rd choice striker next summer

It could be interesting if he'll be back in January because of Costa's continuous problems. He'd more or less become that third striker, but I think it would hamper is progression because I'm not confident in how much Mourinho would entrust him up front.. I'd certainly wager against him ever leaving Bamford alone up top.

Don't want to speak too prematurely, but could become a Lukaku situation if trust isn't shown sooner than later. One to keep an eye on.

He wouldn't play much at all that's for sure. He trusts Ake more than any other youngster on loan or in the reserves not named Zouma and yet he barely plays so . . . .

It's hard to watch Middlesbrough matches. I know he can finish, but how's the rest of his overall play? Hard to judge that during highlights.

Yeah and that's also cos those guys are paired up with experienced players in the same position. We rarely play with 2 strikers (unless there's 10-15 mins to go and we need a goal), so Bamford would be lucky to get even sporadic 10 minute appearances. Anyway, he's till only 21 and Drogba won't last more than another season, if even that.

I think its too soon for him to come back to chelsea. He needs minutes and im sure boro is good choice for him to stay for rest of the season.

It's good in a nutshell. He holds up the ball well but is great at finding pockets of space in between defenders.

Personally I thinks it's paramount he stays at Boro beyond January, he is now starting to play and score, it would counter productive to bring him back.

[Special Juan 27,104]

Just scored for Boro.

"Struggling" at Boro. Can't wait for him to play here next year.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Good for him taking his chances off the bench. Hope that means a start in the next match.

On a related Boro note, Omeruo not on the bench again today. How is he always injured for Boro but fit for Nigeria? Same seems to be happening for Mikel!

I heard players from African teams only got back to their clubs on Friday?

Yeah as Liquidator says - they didn't get back until late

6 goals in 14 games now.

His progression is going really well. This is when the loan system actually works! Needs to continue this form.
