Striker has cancelled his loan-deal at Selhurst Park
Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford has hit out at Crystal Palace after an unsuccessful loan-spell at Selhurst Park.
The 22-year-old has spent previous seasons out on loan in the Championship, with the likes of Derby County and Middlesbrough, but this year he agreed a season-long loan with Premier League outfit Palace.
However, just a few months into the deal and he’s announced his decision to terminate the deal and return to his parent club.
Bamford has failed to register a single start for Alan Pardew this season, and following the club’s 0-0 draw with Swansea City last night, he hit out at the club for wasting his time.
Bamford Reveals All
“It has been terrible,” he said. “I would have been more content if I had been given a chance and not taken it.
“I haven’t started a game in the Premier League, so for a young player like me that is not what you need.
“I was frustrated because there weren’t many strikers scoring. Connor [Wickham] only scored his first goal last week.
“As a striker, it might be short-sighted of me but obviously scoring goals is a striker’s job. If you are not playing and the other strikers are not scoring and you are not getting a chance, obviously I was pulling my hair out.”
