I'll never forget him starting Gestede ahead of Bamford at Accrington pre-season. That must have been the moment where he thought to himself 'that's it, I'm outta here'.
It's an absolute myth as well that we were forced to sell him because we had too many strikers, as after selling Bamford he then went and brought in Hugill on loan.

I can't believe I'm saying this but in Dyche and Alex Neil's defence they had Bamford at a higher level and he was only a loan player. Should maybe have given him more of a chance but it was understandable not playing him at the time.
Pulis on the other hand had just seen him have an incredible second half of the season, not just in terms of scoring but all round play. And still didn't fancy him. No excuse whatsoever.

He was great for us. I could never understand why some of our fans never took to him. I honestly think some people thought he was posh, and that was it. Clearly ridiculous if so.
Along with rejecting a bid from Leeds for Gestede.

He's a nice lad, met him a few times. Pleased for him, but same as others find his sale depressing.

Probably why Pulis never took to him to be honest. Appoint a dinosaur as manager and that's the kind of mentality you get.

Tony Pulis - tonight reminded me how much I cannot stand the bloke. Big up paddy always loved him and his play.

I think a lot of people (mistakenly) blamed Bamford for having a bad game at Wembley.
To be fair do we think Warnock would play him?

And there were some who tried to tell us he was no great shakes, wouldn't make it in the prem, that Assombolonga was better and pulis was right.
I'd honestly never tire of kicking pulis in the balls over and over again.
Delighted for Patrick. Smashing lad, excellent player and our best striker since Mark Viduka.

I'm pleased for him too, but his last two years with Leeds have been hit and miss, at best. Even Leeds fans would be surprised at this form. See also Pukki at Norwich, first 5 last season

Absolutely sickening, anyone that knows football could see he was going to be a top striker once he was given a run of games.
Couldnt be happier for him though, he has 100% deserved this. One of my favourite players of recent times. Joy to watch in his first loan season here.
