Here we go again. How short some memories are.

This Bamford chap, the one who can't head or score in a brothel, needs replaced, apparently. Says a lot of people that should know better.

And yet, Bielsa clearly demonstrated with Nketiah that Bamford is indispensable. Try to recall the 2 games that Nketiah started. It's not that long ago. How did we do defensively? We let in how many!!?? How well did Nketiah defend? Oh, he didn't, did he? How many chances did Nketiah provide? Oh, none was it? Well he must have scored a shedload for us to put up with that, mustn't he? Oh, he scored none?

And yet we had 15 attempts on goal in the first half, apparently. You'd think Bamford would have scored at least one. I mean, 15 attempts! Oh, hang on, it was the team that had 15 attempts? And it was other players who missed too? But we don't want to mention them, do we? Would ruin the anti-Bamford argument, wouldn't it?

FFS, the lad did brilliantly. He did everything that was asked of him. How many strikers that play up front on their own score the 50 or 60 goals a season some seem to expect from Bamford? I'd genuinely love to know who in the world could put in Bamford's workrate & still score more than him. As we discovered against Birmingham, without him defending from the front, we get over-run. For me, the goals are a bonus. The incredible number of chances we create should result in goals from lots of players - and it does! But it only seems to be Bamford that gets the blame when we don't score. This clown Bielsa should drop him, shouldn't he?

Some of you need to give your head a wobble.
I get what you're saying about Bamford and it's right, but to blame Eddie for the defence being **** one game and the midfield creating nothing in another game, if true we must have 9 **** players being carried by Bamford.
 
If we nearly sign Messi I will pay extra for my season ticket. <laugh>

vic and radz will be hanging round the fax machine at 11 o’clock on jan 31st wondering if it’s broken and why Lionel missed his flight

Leeds fans will content themselves the following day that Messi’s lack of physicality wouldn’t have cut it in the championship anyway

I'm not panicking but it's becoming clear that we seem to be putting all our eggs in the Che Adams basket but Southampton won't let him go.

If we have to wait for Southampton to sign another striker we could end up with nobody coming in.
He looked awful by all accounts when he played the other night. I don’t see him as an answer, he will take weeks getting Bielsa fit.

Has it been officially confirmed from anyone within the club that we are actually after Adams?
