    Morning all.
    I think some don't appreciate Bamford's contribution to the TEAM. He should score more but he never gives up. His head never goes down and he keeps getting in to those positions to score.
    As has been said by many top strikers, if you're getting in to the right places then you're doing what you are paid to do.
    Bamford never stops trying for the team and he gets a load of grief on social media.

    We won the league by 10 points!!!!

    What will be good enough for people.

    Cooper also gets stick but we had a great defence this year.

    I'm not a positive as Sniffer but I think we're ok.

    I agree 30-40 million is criminal for a player with no Premier League experience and we could make a mistake chasing him too hard. As much as I like Ben White we could strengthen two or three positions with that. The only thing that makes me think we should sign him at almost any cost is that with one decent year in the Premier League and we could be looking at £60-£70 million for him. Brighton know his value decreases the closer his contract is to expiring so it could be a case of who blinks first.

    Morning all. I'm mystified by people talking about Bamford as if he's a mug. He has consistantly been one of our best players. I think the Premiership will suit both him and Klich

    I think I most people recognise what bamford brings to the team.

    You can’t hide from the fact that his conversion rate was very poor this year... as was Harrison’s and Costa’s. We dominated almost every game but only sealed promotion with 2 games to go.

    It’s a Legitimate concern to raise going in to a season where we will do well to create 50% of the chances we did this season.

    in my view he should stay out of this. It’s difficult but it’s part of the game. He gets paid very well, and people get to discuss if he’s any good.

    best answer is to do his talking on the pitch which I hope he does.

    He did. We won the league by 10 points. Bielsa, the manager of the team, including him, that won the league picks him to play so I don't get the criticism.
    He is doing what MB wants him to do which is why he's well paid. Only Brentford scored more than us in the Champ last year.

    But keen Leeds observer Wright has words of encouragement for the Leeds No 9 ahead of the match.

    “The pressure he is under with Leeds wanting to come up, it’s massive. The weight of expectation, especially after what happened last season, is massive, but you can only do the same things in training as long as you’re getting chances created for you,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

    “We’ve seen the amount of chances he’s missed and you just hope he can start converting, but all he can do is get back in the right positions, near post, far post, hit the target and hope you can start converting a few.

    I’m saying he doesn’t need to get involved with tweets like the one you quoted.

    Almost every other side in the division’s main strikers took more of their chances than he did. He scored 16 his expected goals was 35 I think.

    bielsa frequently comments on our conversion rate, brought in nketiah and big Kev to try and resolve it.

    you might not agree with it, but not sure what you don’t get about the question marks over him? I like his effort and all round play, he brings other players into the game and plays the role asked very well.. with one critical exception.

    Morning all, well the days are passing by, Ben White is over priced and an unproven player in the PL, I personally think we should move on.
    We shall get to know who we are signing once they are signed, don’t think we shall fck up again like we did with Daniel James, from what I heard Orta had his collar felt for that screw up.
    The away kit is a joke, all yellow for me, please get rid of the charcoal grey and pink ffs.
    Back end of last week I played golf in a tournament and was drawn with two very good players, this one guy was talking to the other guy and he was mentioning Jack Charlton and Terry Cooper etc it was a guy called Gordon Owen an ex professional footballer, played off scratch, also I Never mentioned before but John McClelland is a member of my golf club and he was at the same tournament and stood chatting with him and Gordon Owen after the round, some funny and interesting stories came out, small world sometimes.
