Patrick Bamford joins Burnley on loan
Patrick Bamford has today completed his loan move to Premier League side Burnley.
“I had heard in the past three seasons that Sean was interested, but for one reason or another it hadn’t materialised,” Bamford said. “We spoke again in this window and after a chat everything was positive. It was just about getting it done in the end. “One of the things the gaffer said to me is that he has done well with strikers in the past. He said he’d bring the best out of me and was straightforward with me. “He told me how it was and it’s refreshing to have that. Sometimes in managers you can get a blurred pathway, so it was nice to hear the truth then you know where you stand and it’s easier to move on from there. I know I have to work hard and I’m fully prepared to do that to try and get in that team. “It’s up to me to take that chance when it comes. The Premier League is a long, hard season and there will be chances. It’s up to me then.
“When you go out on loan there is a lot of moving back and forth and that can get frustrating. I feel I’ve covered most of England, up north, in the Midlands and down south. Last year I only started a few games and it’s hard coming on as a sub sometimes. “You can go four or five weeks without playing, so it’s not easy, and I never properly settled at either of these clubs, and I feel it will be different this time.”
