efc1111 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I know it's the Daily Mail but this is an interesting link. The lad can play up front or off the striker and certainly seems to know where the net is after good loan spells at Derby and Middlesbrough (19 goals last season): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3126481/Everton-interested-Chelsea-forward-Patrick-Bamford-bolster-strikeforce.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'd say it's an absolute non-starter but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efc1111 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Also this from last month: Everton, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Newcastle are all believed to be interested in Bamford, who is approaching the final 12 months of his contract at the Bridge. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-offer-striker-patrick-bamford-5695343 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efc1111 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'd say it's an absolute non-starter but you never know. I know, but thought it was worth mentioning. Looks like his decision will be between a new deal at Chelsea and going out on loan again, or moving on to start afresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like his decision will be between a new deal at Chelsea and going out on loan again, or moving on to start afresh. I thought he'd signed a new contract with Chelsea before his loan to Boro but I must've imagined that! I just think after the way we used Atsu, the fact we mostly play with one up front, Martinez talking up Kone, and us having less games this season, it just wouldn't make sense for Chelsea to send him to us (even if we're interested). I think he'll go to a Prem side but not to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) A side like Bournemouth would be ideal for the lad don't get me wrong I'd happily have him here over Kone anyday and he's probably a step ahead of Henen etc but for the above reasons I can't see it happening Hopefully for his sake he goes elsewhere permanently before he fades into obscurity Edited June 16, 2015 by EFC-Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 it's not our fault he was shite and got injured. very true but that didn't stop mourinho for blaming us in the media and saying he didn't like his lack of playing time.

MikeO Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 very true but that didn't stop mourinho for blaming us in the media and saying he didn't like his lack of playing time. If he wanted to give him time on the pitch he should have kept him and played him himself. He can't select the starting XI for the rest of the premier league no matter how much he'd like to.

Quinn31 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Would you swap any of their squads for ours? No. Absolutely not. That being said, I definitely think they've closed the gap between their squads and ours a bit compared with 2-3 years ago. Southampton have a good group as well.

c1982 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Palace??? FFS On-loan after signing a new deal at Chelsea. I would have had him on a permenant deal but not as a development project to aid Chelsea. Lowensda and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
