Leeds United<\/a> chose to release Patrick Bamford during the summer transfer window, and he was snapped up by Sheffield United<\/a> back in November.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Daniel Farke shaped his squad over the summer after promotion, there were some very brutal decisions needed to be made.<\/p>\n

One of them was axing Patrick Bamford<\/a> from the first team squad initially, to then sever his contract just under a year early in August.<\/p>\n

Patrick Bamford enjoying delightful form at Sheffield United after Leeds United exit<\/p>\n

Bamford was out of work for a couple of months between August and the winter. Having trained with Coventry City<\/a>, he then swiftly joined a resurgent Sheffield United<\/a> under reinstated manager Chris Wilder.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s followed has been the perfect impact during a short-term deal running up to January. Making his debut against Liam Cooper\u2019s Sheffield Wednesday in the Steel City Derby<\/a>, he\u2019s since netted twice in red and white, having made two starts and two sub appearances.<\/p>\n

Ever since Bamford\u2019s arrival, the Blades are yet to drop a point. They have won four on the spin during his time at Bramall Lane. I\u2019ve got to say, the fact that Wilder was giving a loving embrace to Bamford, and geeing up \u2018Wilder is a w*****\u2019 chants<\/a> at Hillsborough, was such a bizarre sight after what unfolded last season.<\/p>\n

Previously rubbing elbows with their stricken city rivals in the bottom three, the Blades are now 18th. But, they are also importantly only eight points off sixth-placed Stoke City. The Potters being the side they just battered 4-0 as Bamford scored on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Chris Wilder confirms Sheffield United\u2019s transfer plan for Patrick Bamford ahead of January<\/p>\n

I know I don\u2019t speak for every Leeds fan. But, I\u2019ve certainly been intrigued to see how Bamford gets on after being ditched by Leeds in the summer.<\/p>\n

I knew he\u2019d have more to offer than being sitting on the fringes of our squad, or just out in the cold as a free agent. Wilder has been the perfect manager to get more out of Bamford again. That\u2019s something the Blades boss has an immense track record of doing across his now three stints in South Yorkshire. For all we don\u2019t particularly like Wilder up here.<\/p>\n

Ahead of January and Bamford\u2019s contract coming to an end, Wilder confirmed that Bamford and likewise arrival Jairo Riedewald are already pushing to earn longer-term deals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spoke to both boys, and they want to commit,\u201d Wilder told The Star<\/a>. \u201cTheir representatives will obviously put the options to them, that they\u2019ve got on the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has to be right from a lot of points from then. But the initial talk, between manager and player, is really positive. The vibe that is coming back, that they\u2019re giving me, is that they would like the opportunity of staying. Then it\u2019s over to other people to hopefully get the deal done.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so weird, to me, seeing Bamford teaming up with Wilder at Bramall Lane. But, you can clearly see it\u2019s a deal that suits everyone.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s got back to his best form in the space of four games. And in the process, he\u2019s boosted Sheffield United\u2019s promotion hopes all of a sudden.<\/p>\n

Looking from a Leeds perspective, there\u2019s obviously going to be the question of whether we should have kept him as extra depth. The hindsight being that we\u2019re now playing a two-up-front system that needs more depth than we currently have.<\/p>\n

However, it was clear Bamford needed a reset away from Leeds. It\u2019s good to see that he\u2019s back enjoying football again.<\/p>\n
