Can guarantee there's now a thread on the Leeds forum along the lines of .... "now Brighton think they can sign Bamford 
"
I won't laugh it off on the basis that, it's similar in some ways to us signing Welbeck. Obviously a player there, injury laden career, probably a good influence in the dressing room, but no high hopes from anyone at the time of the signing. The key difference is though, Danny was out of contract. We didn't have to pay someone for him or beat the terms of an existing contract. Also we were desperate for someone, anyone, to put the ball away then. Less so now

So close and yet so far, I was thinking no Chris Wood thread this window people are finally getting our recruiting methods.

Welbeck was under contract with Watford, they agreed to cancel it so he could move.Can guarantee there's now a thread on the Leeds forum along the lines of .... "now Brighton think they can sign Bamford

He is, at Huddersfield. Hasn't hit double figures in years though.

He was good for 5 minutes, now back to type. Even Palace wouldn't touch him.

Laughable on several counts:
From our point of view:
- massively injury prone
- very streaky scoring record, suggest championship striker playing in premier league (aka Maupay)
- reportedly paid a hell of a lot - see Bozza thread on wages and look up Leeds
From Leeds point of view:
- just come back from injury and started scoring
- they struggle to score goals since Bielsa left, don't think selling one of your strikers when facing a relegation battle is a good idea
- loved by Leeds fans

I'm sure the "Ben White not for sale" is still quite fresh in their minds and this would give them an opportunity to get one back on us.
Per others, we have a more experienced sick note and a VERY promising 18 year old, with maybe's like Ensisco and Undav as work in progress.
Our recruitment method is we get cheap experience [Welbz, LaLaLand, Veltman] and seek untapped talent from overseas - Bamford won't be a target unless, perhaps, on a free with Welbz retired - which ain't the case ....
