Cannot believe he was signed for £5.5m with his record over last few seasons.
This pisses me right off when we get ripped right off up here. I would have JC everytime.

He's English though so automatically that adds to the price.and in the eyes of the English teams Cummings is Scottish so that takes away from the price.

As well as record clubs pay for what they assess the quality and potential of the player might be. Bamford has been very highly rated for a wee while.

To be fair to him, less than 2 years ago he scored 19 goals and got player of the season in the English championship.
So 5.5 in England isn't too bad.
i would say he is quite a bit ahead of Cummings and would score a lot in Scotland.
Addmittedly he has been poor since then.

Just a heads up incase the newly relegated Boro are planning on looking up here for anyone. I will totally disagree on better than Cummings from what I have seen of him in past.

Cummings might play in the Championship one day. He might not. If he ever wins Championship player of the year I'd be surprised. If and when he does and maybe gets some playing time in the EPL then comparisons can start to be made.

Middlesbrough boss Steve Agnew has revealed Patrick Bamford has barely featured over the last month after picking up a niggling injury.
The former Chelsea forward, who arrived for £6m in January, has been training through the pain barrier as he battles with a hernia problem.
His last Boro outing came during an impressive seven-minute cameo against Burnley on April 8, but despite catching the eye, he has not made a single appearance since.
Agnew admits Bamford has endured a frustrating few years since his scintillating 2014/15 on loan at Boro, but says the 23-year-old is in contention to feature against former club Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
"I think any young player who goes to a big, big club like Chelsea and never gets the opportunity to get a run of games, yes - he's a bit frustrated (with how it worked out),"
"I think probably Patrick's biggest frustrations are after leaving here, having scored all those goals in the Championship, he never got the opportunity to play regularly at the teams he went on loan to.
"That's the thing that we have to take into consideration and get him going again.
"I've had several chats with Patrick and he missed football for 18 months. It does take a long time to catch up but he did come on against Burnley and caused a problem.
"He has trained really well, he has had a bit of a niggle - it's his groin or a potential hernia problem, and that has been an issue.
"But over the last few days he's been terrific in training. I do think Patrick is definitely a big player for the future of this football club."

See above, he has been injured and in and out of things with pretty big teams.
I'm sorry, I'm not buying the comparisons in any way. Cummings is miles away from that sort of comparison being a serious one just now.

Bamford certainly hasn't been living up to the media hype that has surrounded him, but I'd imagine he's better than Cummings though.

JC has a lot of potential, but he's not as good as Bamford.
Once JC tests himself in the English a championship we can compare them

JC and SJM to name 2 do not need to have played at a higher level to be better than players already playing at a higher level.
JC and SJM are better than lots of players that have gone for high fees IMO anyway.
