Genuinely think the club will stick with Bamford. He leaks goals for fun, its just getting the gates open. Roofe, Edmondson, Bamford, and Kun is enough to work with up top. Expect to see edmondson more tbh. They'll look to develop the wings, some serious talent coming in you feel. Think the whole team will stay personally, if clarke was to go I think he'd have gone, unless spurs come calling with upwards of 15 million. Jansson and cooper will both stay, likewise Phillips. Roofe is the hardest one IMO, poor wages based on his performance, 1 year left on his deal, either cash in or renew the contract, can't do neither. 2 wingers, another central player, a centre half. Bielsa knows the league now, and the 18/ 24 of the teams he's already played twice. A proper pre-season behind them, this season will fly, win after win. All depends on who he brings in. I'd like reiss nelson from arsenal, wouldn't mind harrison back, just need some bigger performances from the likes bamford, douglas, kiko. Its time to step up and win this league.

Good post Samo, lots of sense in there! I’m not sure how much Bielsa rates Edmondson or perhaps it’s more he doesn’t think he is ready yet! Be an interesting preseason with a few of these youngsters looking to grab a squad space.

Fantastic post Samo! Can’t wait for this season to start!

Can't understand this faith in a striker who has scored an average of 7 goals a season in the last 3/ 4 years.

and who has the touch of a rapist Wex.

Assume you're talking about bamford wex? there's a definite player in there, whether he's a bielsa player i'm not sure. I think roofe suits the style more. Bamford could do to stop sitting on the edge of the box and getting himself in there, but then the supply needs to be better. providing we get good width, and keep clarke, i expect to see less of hernandez. Real shame, but a hard truth unfortunately.

Looking at Bamford stats overall he had a good season with boro a few years ago but honestly guys nà justification in the faith in him or his price tag.

That made me chuckle alf.

he gets into the right areas but just doesn't seem to finish chances off. He needs around 5-10 clear cut chances per goal and when receiving the ball anywhere his touch seems very clumsy. a bit like Beckford was really but Beckford was only in League 1 where you have more space and time to finish.

Whoa Alf definitely not PC. Wait while the feminist wing of the supporters club read that post. Your life is over.

its a recognised footie saying Leodis its even on the internet. tbh I half expected the eds to change it or not publish it but bless 'em they let it through.
