I like the player but hear his attitude leaves a lot to be desired, although you can never know the veracity of that hersay. (inside source though) It's probably not worth taking the chance, given our excellent team spirit...

He seemed to have struggled to get into a Palace team when they were doing well but also struggled to get into a Norwich team when they weren't. After his success at Middlesbrough and MKD I would have expected him to be able to make the leap to the PL but he must be running out of options now.

Newcastle and Villa both heavily linked with him now so unlikely he's coming here 
Quoted upwards of £12m transfer fee so was probably out of our price range in any case unless we could get him on loan.
Bamford could be Toons £15m man

What on EARTH has he acheived to command a transfer fee of that scale? Totally mental, if anyone pays that for him.
Newcastle are welcome to him.

15m? Are they completely troll-shagging insane?! Mentalists the lot of them.

It was suggested that Newcastle are looking at a Dwight Gayle Andros Townsend swap that would make more sense to me.

If Newcastle don't sign Ross McCormack I'll do forwards rolls all the way from the Amex to St James's Park.

Palace sloppy seconds AND delusions of entitlement AND truly shite hair. For all these reasons, I'm out

Didn't he do that 'Baby Come Back' tune, with UB40? That was shit, too.

Problem with most deals for these type of players is you're not just paying what they are worth now, the selling club is often building in an addition about what they 'could' be worth in future. Factor in that he's English and 'homegrown' and it adds up to a ludicrous amount. No wonder us and other clubs tend to do a lot of shopping from abroad now.

Looks like Bamford is heading to Celtic, obviously got no ambition to test himself
I bet he now wishes he accepted the place at Harvard.
Celtic would be a good move for Bamford himself at this point in time - He has probably seen a few players go there and build a reputation like Hooper and Frazer Foster - They then got moves to the Premiership on the strength of that. His reputation was tarnished by bad loan move choices last year to clubs playing systems not suited to him.
I don't really know if he is good or not. I haven't seen enough of him but certainly he needs to choose his next move carefully or he could end up in League 1 before he knows it

Said Chalobah going with him, now he has gone backwards since he DESTROYED us when he played for Watford
