villan-scott Posted August 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2016 McCormack, Ayew, Gestede and Bamford as striking options is the Championship version of the Galacticos from back in the day... Sort of. Would be immense to have that type of depth and proven quality at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm just not sold on Bamford at all. Would rather we looked elsewhere but in RDM we trust I guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst he's hardly set the PL alight yet, he's proven at this level with Boro and Derby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNortonAVFC Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Definitely need to get one striker in, we're gonna be left light in that position over January when Africa Cup of Nations is on. Think Bamford on loan would be a good bit of business, even if just for a bit of depth. Edited August 14, 2016 by JNortonAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I would prefer an alternative to Gestede-The main target man type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Bamford on loan is smart. He's clearly a good player at this level. If we signed Hernandez, we'd probably be looking at signing another first choice if we go up. I'd rather save the money and go big on a player that can reach 15 goals in the Premier League if we go up. Bamford, Gestede, McCormack and Ayew is a strong 4, with Kozak and RHM in reserve. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm surprised people don't seem too impressed by Bamford. His Premier League opportunities were mainly as a sub, it's unfair to point at scoring no goals off the bench for Palace and Norwich as evidence of him not being good enough!

imavillan Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Bamford prolific goal scorer at this level. On loan is a no brainer. 48 games in the Championship and they come thick and fast. With Bamford, McCormack Gestede, as our forwards we would have 3 players who all can bag 20+ goals each. Then with Ayew (assuming he stays) chipping in I dont see any other team in this division with the forward options we would have. No one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it's kinda like with Guidetti who I rate to a degree because I've seen him lots of times. He had 1 great season on loan at a lesser league and a couple of mediocre spells on loan at other clubs (also had an injury that kept him out of football for a season and a half). Lots of people didn't rate him before he wen't to Celta Vigo, many of them had never seen him play, or only a handful of times... Can only speak for myself, but I haven't seen enough games with him (Bamford) to form an opinion either way..

Ginko Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Gabby doesn't appear to be in RDM's plans so I wouldn't include him in that. That and including Gabby in a Galacticos analogy is frankly hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Bamford would probably take Gestede's place,he's a good player and won't be coming here to sit on the bench. A bit surprised that they'd save the number nine shirt for a loan signing though. Maybe we're trying to sign him on a permanent deal.

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 We're still trying for Diawara. Don't think Juve are interested, but Roma and Napoli certainly are. Both of those sides expected to have moved out a midfielder by now (Paredes/Valdifiori) to release funds for Diawara, but this hasn't materialized yet. The player has made it known that he wants a Serie A move but I'm still hoping that Roma/Napoli can't stump up the amount that we're willing to pay. Wonderful talent.
