Great finish by Bamford

Only one man responsible for his sale and it wasn’t Pulis. Uncle Steve accepted the money NOT Uncle Tony, he just made sure the player wanted to sign (Imho)

Exactly col the notion Pullis sanctioned this is crazy as nothing absolutely nothing happens at MFC without gibsons say so.
 
And regarding that conversion rate stat, Bamford has missed the most scoring opportunities of any striker in the premier league, and he still has 11 goals.

Some might see the negative in that, where as some might choose to see that the kid is guaranteeing you chances and goals.
 
We had Bamford and Monk spunked £15m on Britt. Then we didnt go up.
It is a crying shame but we had to sell somebody but didnt we get £27m for Bamford and Traore? We wouldnt have got much for anybody else in the squad that Monk left.
 
It's not like people are bemoaning his sale with the benefit of hindsight. Plenty of us were furious at the time.

And the suggestion Pulis had nothing to do with it? Give over, the bloke didn't rate Bamford as a striker that was blindingly obvious. Gibson might have signed off on it, but I find it pretty hard to believe he was sold without Pulis input. In fact Pulis' comments since suggest he very much made the decision. "Our only saleable asset" etc. Not to mention the fact Pulis has happily taken credit for all our other sales.
 
Lads gone , not exactly a Boro legend , if he does well , fair play .........but, he decided to go, not the end of in my world !

No need for a thread Like he is a long termer like Spike etc .....he never was !
 
Pleased for Bamford.
Disappointing for us.
But even Leeds scummy fans must be amazed at how he has blossomed this year. They were tearing strips off him last year when he was spluttering in the championship
 
I don’t think any manager except Bielsa would have got these levels of performance out of him.

That said, Gibson has done well to let the fans blame Pulis for flogging him on the cheap to Leeds.

Well in a full season playing for Karanka, in a side that was a lot less attacking and finished lower in the table, Bamford managed more goals in fewer games than his best full season under Bielsa.

But yeah, all down to Bielsa, can't possibly be that, er, Bamford might actually be a pretty good player can it? 🙄
