Would he go though? Two failed loans already. Think he needs a permanent and regular football.

Chicken Field Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) similarly to Gayle, I do not really get the hype with Bamford. One good and one not so good loan spells in the Champions, two bad in the premier league, doesn't really sound like a £10m + player to me. at 22 it is make or break and for that kind of money, you would expect him to at least have shown something in the premier league. Similarly Dwight Gayle, just don't get what he has done that is so amazing, happy that he wen't to Newcastle. If we are going to spend such money on a striker, I would rather have one that has produced the goods in more than one season or go creative and find some foreigner or something. Bamford fell below players such as Gayle, Chamakh and Wickham, Fraizer Campell and Adebayor in Palace's pecking order. Mbokani (granted I think he is decent) and Cameron Jerome were valued higher in Norwich. These are not what I would call amazing strikers and I would not feel confident in signing a striker for £10m + that is worse than those.

useless Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 A striker who's shown something in the Premier League will cost a lot more than £10m. We just need someone who's proven that they can score goals in the Championship, and Bamford has the advantage of being young so can still develop into a prem striker. Norwich didn't play him and perhaps they should have done, looking at what happened to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Norwich will have looked at his 13 games without a goal and I might be totally wrong, but they might be judging him based on training. There are many players that look brilliant as youngsters that just don't develop and instead decrease in ability. Also there are many one season wonder strikers out there ! I trust Norwich's and Palaces judgement better than youtube clips or one season he had. Edited July 5, 2016 by Chicken Field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct but I don't see that in Bamford, I've seen quite a few interviews of him and he seems to have his head screwed on. He's a really good finisher I think, knows where the goal is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dudevillaisnice Posted July 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Quote Burnley are expected to firm up their interest in Aston Villa midfielder Ashley Westwood. The Premier League newboys are keen on the 26-year-old and will test Villa’s resolve with a £6m bid, according to sources close to Turf Moor. Westwood has four years remaining on a £40k-a-week deal at Villa and reported back to pre-season training at Bodymoor Heath last week. He’s due to fly out to Austria with the rest of the squad on Thursday but has been well aware of the long-standing interest from the Clarets. Clicky £6m for Westwood would be very good indeed.

I like Westwood and think he'd do a good job in the Championship. But I don't think we can turn our noses up at £6m if that's true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got some silky touches and lethal in the box when in the right team. Hopefully he can find a team to settle down in rather then the 6 months loans here and there and then will hit his potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Looking at some of the mooted and actual transfer fee in the Premier League - Dann £20m, Tomkins £10m, Deeney £30m, Igahlo £35m, Westwood £6m, etc, has got me thinking if it's possible to build a Premier League capable squad whilst in the Championship at a fraction of the cost? Obviously it's all relative to the level of income these teams now have, but they're not really adding much quality for these prices. If we do end up losing Gana, Adama and Ayew then I hope we get top dollar for them (unless relegation clauses prevent us from doing so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
