Middlesbrough signing Bamford reveals Dyche clashes over Chelsea life

Middlesbrough signing Patrick Bamford has revealed he clashed with Burnley boss Sean Dyche.

The striker is adamant his upbringing and time within Chelsea's youth system counted against him in Dyche's eyes.

"Me and the boys got on fine but me and Sean Dyche just clashed," Bamford told the Daily Mail.

"I could sit down and talk to him now and be civil but we had different ideas of football. I didn't get a chance.

"His team has done great, mind. I can't argue with that.

"Dyche said that because I had come through at Chelsea - and because of the way I had been brought up - I had never had to work for anything."
