Frank Lampard

[Heisenberg 1,824]

I think the main problem is, does really Lampard want to have less wages, less gametime, just to stay here ?

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,738]

It is time for him to go. He can get a last massive pay day in China,MLS(LOL), or even Russia. If we are serious about rebuilding, then we need to get the youngsters some game time. This can be achieved better with him gone.

Lampard is one of three players to feature in both games against Southampton (2-2 draw at home, 2-1 loss away) and QPR (0-0 draw away and 1-0 loss at home).

In fact by my reckoning of the last six games we've lost, the only TWO players to start each of them has been Ivanovic and.....Lamps.

(Southampton away, Man City away, Steaua away, Newcastle away, Swansea home, QPR home).

That doesn't include the Man United FA Cup game that he came off in when we were 2-0 down, before coming back to draw 2-2.

Meaningless stats. Chelsea lost those games as a team & not because Frankie played in them.

it would make sense. Our board doesn't do sense.

Hi only place to be! :-)

Oh look, another one of these topics.

Merged with the thread called 8. FRANK LAMPARD.

I know why some people have such a feeling,they can't afford to see him in another team's jersey so am i but let us all wish for a bright future for the team,terry, drogba,lampard, and the rest will always be there for us even if they leave the team,1year contract will be enough for frankie.

this is the first time in many years that Lampard is not in the promotional stuff for a new kit...

think it's pretty clear now. sad that he's leaving but like drogba, it's the right time

[Spike 12,049]

Really, guys? Really? A Marketing campaign is signalling Lamp's leaving? Really?

[Henrique 9,133]

Yes, in this case it really is, because its pretty strange that after all those years this is the first time he is not involved at all. Even Ba is there.

If he doesn't leave can I rub it in your face? Even if you say no, I'll do it anyway.

is there a scenario where he'll stay? The board has held firm on it's view of not offering Lampard a new contract despite the incessant support from the fans. only way is if Jose comes and says he wants to keep Frank around. only will have that much power and balls to face the board

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He's not leaving just because he's not in the add, but it's another hint to add to the mountain of indexes pointing to his departure in the summer.

[The only place to be 11,313]

You wouldn't incude a player whose contract situation is up in the air. It's as simple as that.

I still think Mourinho's appointment could change things but in terms of Frank Lampard the player and not Frank Lampard the Chelsea icon, I don't know if he's doing enough on the pitch to earn a new contract.

Wasn't walcott not in the Arsenal 2013 calender?

Wouldn't look much into this

You're underestimating the marketability of Frank Lampard, my friend. If Adidas decided not to put him in the ad then they must have been told by the club that him being here next season is a serious doubt. Because having a figure like Lampard in the team and not using him in the add is an idiotic marketing decision.

Its probably the right time..

Only sad thing is unlike Drogba, who wanted to leave (at least that's what it looked like), Lampard yearns for a contract extension.
