Patrick Bamford

[Leif 6,006]

Off to Palace on loan according to the Twittersphere

[Madmax 9,219]

Palace ... doubt how good Pardew would be for him, and they have a few strikers already (Gayle, Chamakh, Murray, Campbell). On the plus side he wouldn't lack service with people like Puncheon, Zaha, Bolasie and Cabaye to feed him.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

If it's palace that is a great loan for him. Palace struggled to score goals last season, he will get chances to prove himself.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Seems like a sensible loan for him/us. HOPEFULLY getting regular games in the PL couldnt get much better for us.

[iseah100 5,612]

Good loan.

[Oscar 441]

Bamford going to have to beat Chamack and Campell....

[yuvala 2,167]

If he really is good enough he'd take his chances well

[Jase 43,479]

All of Bamford's goals from last season.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

He will get a playing times for sure. Jose will remind it every week on the phone.

[Special Juan 27,104]

He will be fine at Palace, if that's his destination.

Patrick Bamford on loan with Cristal Palace?

1. England.

2. London.

3. Premier League.

4. An important role in his new team.

5. A team where he will not have to fight for not go down to first division throughout the season. And he will not have a loser mentality, Bamford
will be quietly to complete His professional development in Premier League before returning with us.

This would be a perfect loan for Bamford and for US. Hopefully he can go with England to Euro 2016.

Regards.

Good move after much thought. He'll get service from out wide with their wingers & through the middle with the Cabaye signing. A lot of competition but if he's good enough for us he should beat them all like Sturridge did at Bolton.

Palace are going to be one of my favourite teams to watch for certain.

[OneMoSalah 8,616]

Palace have got a couple of forwards to be fair, don't know if he will be as regular as some think unless they offload one or two. He might not even play upfront, he played on the right flank for Boro at times too didn't he, so maybe he will also fill in there.

2016 is wishful thinking...

2016 is wishful thinking...

Hi friend!

Yeah, but if Bamford makes a good season he could be one of 25 chosen to go with England to Euro 2016,

and that would make him to improve in his own maturity. Bamford is one of the best young forwards in England, I would love that he could have a chance.

In any case, Crystal Palace is a good place to be on loan. Premier League and London, near to Jose to monitor his progress.

Regards.

If he's good enough to play here he should be starting at Palace.

[Leif 6,006]

As an allround player last season he didn't impress me a lot, but watching his goals themselves, he executes technique on par with any top striker we've had in recent times. He reminds me of Berbatov, which'd be a more valid comparison if Bamford hadn't been instructed to bust his balls tracking players on the wing a few times

It seems so, but these things are not that simple with loaned players. Sometimes managers are reluctant to start them because they are aware that the team can't be built around a player who will be gone next season. It is not rare to see managers loan a player because it will give them squad depth, quality and options.
