Well Kenny's not been in the job that long, so it looks like previous conversations will have been with Mick McCarthy and MON.
Also it's clear that Bamford would walk into our starting eleven right now (and likely for the foreseeable future). When the last concrete conversations happened he was a good championship striker competing against the likes of McGoldrick (starter at a Premier League team), possibly Connolly (near starter at a Premier League team) and Long (established PL player on a slightly barren run). Looking at the situation now, he's comfortably our most potent goalscorer at club level, it would be a case of him starting every game for us, and one of McGoldrick, Long, Connolly etc playing alongside him. If this point was made to him (automatic starter / attack built around him) it might be a more compelling case for him.
