I don’t know where the club would be without the foundations he laid.”Explaining his decision to release Bamford, Farke said the player had a “difficult” few years with injuries and his fitness had suffered as a result.He said in July: “With Patrick, I had a really open and honest conversation. I would have preferred a completely fit Patrick Bamford in the last two seasons.“He knows how much I rate him as a person. It was the second day of pre-season when I told him in my office he wasn’t part of my plans for the upcoming Premier League season, due to the fact he’s had really difficult years over the past years.“Patrick has done so much for this club over the last seven years, winning two promotions. He trained with us over the first two weeks, but I told him, once we go to the training camp, I will reduce the striker group, so that’s why I made this cut right now.”Bamford started his career in the Nottingham Forest academy before Chelsea signed him for around £1.5m in 2012.He then joined Middlesbrough on a permanent move in 2017 before signing for Leeds a year later.
