Their local journo has apparently said that the one they're after is "better than Tommy Conway" and "would cost a lot" I'd be amazed if anyone touched Bamford with a barge pole! It does sound a bit Stansfieldy Also talk of them getting Iversen Seriously re Bamford? He’d be an excellent signing for anybody in this division Agreed only issue is his fitness.

Anyone that wants Ings hasn't learnt a single thing in the last several years. He's exactly the kind of signing we ought to be avoiding. Dwight Gayle all over again ☹️☹️

He can't live off that first season in the Prem forever. Last 2 seasons, he's been poor - and then factor in his fitness record and his £3.5m-a-year salary! Pretty sure it's not him they're after anyway, Their local press are saying "the one they want they've got a lot of competition for, he's better than Tommy Conway who they wanted previously, is exciting and would cost a lot of money. The fans would be very, very, very happy if they got him or the second choice striker"

Anyone that wants Ings hasn't learnt a single thing in the last several years. He's exactly the kind of signing we ought to be avoiding. You can’t base everything on Vokes though. Surely it’s about the individual. We’re a very young squad at the moment. It really feels like we need some wise heads in. Not just on the pitch but around the place. Players who’ve seen it and done it. Someone who can pick the younger players heads up when they go down. I still remember the impact Huddy and Dave Watson had on the team and they could be classed as well past it. Currently we’re a team lacking leaders on the pitch. You only have to look at the way we collapsed v Watford and to a lesser extent WBA to see that. I’m all for having a young side but throwing in 2 or 3 experienced heads isn’t a bad thing. I’m not saying it has to be Ings but certainly in the middle we need a leader. I never mentioned Vokes so not sure why you're mentioning him. We collapsed against Watford because we were bullied physically, how does someone like Ings resolve that? We were setup completely wrong against West Brom so again, how does an experienced head or two resolve Schumacher setting us up completely wrong? We've been burnt way too many by "names" who are on the way down in recent years which has then set us back FFP wise. And that's before you get into the fact that Ings has done very little for a few years now (I think it was mentioned that he's scored a whopping 13 goals in 4 seasons or something poor like that).

He gets a lot of stick off Leeds fans so would be used to it if he came here but seriously I’d have him here no problem

I’d take a punt on Aaron Connolly (ST/LW/RW)& Brandon Williams (LB/RB) on freebies would bring us cover if we miss out on our main Striker targets and also better options than what we’ve got currently.

Option for right back if he’s available would be James Bree good right back with a great cross. Wakefield born was my exs nephew

Bamford would score 9 goals but be that frustrating you’d end up in a nut house.
No thanks

The Leeds fans seem to have lost all faith in him. Very strange career he's had. Shame as he was on top of the world briefly. But whoever takes him next is taking a massive risk on that salary and recent record, coming up to 31 next week. Can't see how a Champ club could afford him. He seems pretty unmovable with his salary so detached from his recent performance levels

He seems pretty unmovable with is output so detached from his recent performance levels Seems to be a big confidence player. Strange one re fitness also is it injury problems or just fitness? Not sure what he has left on his contract but at that age and with the fitness issues he would have to take a massive pay cut to something like £20k a week. I must admit before he went to Leeds I didn’t rate him. He has got good pace for a big guy. If he was the main guy at a club think he would do well.

Was thinking the same. He’ll be signing soon and available in December for three weeks🤣 3 goals in 37 games in the last two years FFS our fans are thick. Why so aggressive?

That's the end of my scouting report.

You can bet we're after the same names as Hull - and they've probably got more money to throw at it?

Bamford is, and always has been, an awful finisher. He hits the odd pearler every now and then but his only really decent seasons were under Bielsa. Bielsa's teams created so many good chances that even my dead nan could've reached double figures in a season.
I hope we go nowhere near.

I won't lie, the last two pages have scared the shit out of me, so much so I probably won't sleep tonight.
Bamford and Ings represent the types of signings we've made repeatedly that have got us into this mess.
Names that are past their best, might do a job but we know deep down they probably won't...and would cost a fortune in the process.

Just seen that Karlan Grant is only 26 years old! Assumed he was in his 30’s! thought he looked pretty good against us the other day. Any takers?

My God, I hope I'm wrong.

A bit of talk of Bamford and Cooper double signing Their local journo has apparently said that the one they're after is "better than Tommy Conway" and "would cost a lot" I'd be amazed if anyone touched Bamford with a barge pole! It does sound a bit Stansfieldy Also talk of them getting Iversen Bamford despite the abuse has a great record at this level

I’ve got a feeling that Baker, Laurent and Johnson will all still be here come the end of the window. Sitting on lovely contracts and preventing us from making any further signings. We might get a goal or two out of them and we might get two of Laurents four good games a season before the January window opens.

Yep, I think unless we shift some surplus, we will have the pleasure/pain of Laurant sauntering through matches for a good while yet.
