I'm not convinced by Bamford and don't think his scoring rate is the indicator to judge him by.
I'd prefer to go on the goals/chances ratio because give 'em enough chances and they'll score. From what I've seen this season (and I didn't see every match, far from it) he seems to be converting around 1/3 or 1/4 which is a way off from being good enough..
Also not sure he fits particularly well with the Bielsa approach as he's maybe not mobile enough?

Agree with this, he's been excellent as the pivot and I think he'll only get better. I hope he stays but money turns heads, doesn't it.
