Frank Lampard

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Lamps shouldn't take all the blame. If AVB had handled the situation with more finesse perhaps Lamps would have been happy to take a backseat role.

No one is denying that Andre takes some of the blame for the teams failure. But, for me at least, the frustration with Frank has nothing to do with AVB. He is a club legend and is expected to give 100% effort and show the professionalism expected of him at this level by doing what is asked of him by the manager every single time. His lack of effort and interest in some of the matches during the AVB era is pathetic from my point of view and a stab in the back of not only the manager but the club and fans.

Great, that means the next manager knows he will have to overhaul the squad. It shows that a slow transitional period is impossible.

Yes if we get a new manager we will need this done.

Which is why I don't mind keeping RDM cause we won't have this problem.

I want the Chelsea blood to managed, because that won't be a problem like a foreing manager with the exception of Mourinho.

Give them the role and they will just look out for themselves, they are not going to drop themselves.

I don't think so, they will look for the best of the team.

Still don't see much wrong with any of Lampards quotes regarding AVB. Everything he's said reminds me of a player who want to play and the press give him the chance to express that sentiment rather than the plotting sob he's been painted by the press to be.

All his bad performances under AVB could just as easily be those of a player who is past it instead of one who picks his games.

My 2 cents.

Soccernet: Lampard set to be offered 250,000k/wk wages from Chinese team

[Madmax 9,219]

"I want the best team in China and we are prepared to invest a lot of money to bring Ferdinand and Lampard to us," club chairman Wang Guolin told The Sun newspaper. "Many people here watch the Premier League and know how good the two players are."

It also says they want Mourinho next season. Good luck with that.

Holy santa clause shit thats a lot of money!

Hmm wonder if he'd take it?

Wonder what they'd pay us for him if they are offering him wages like that.

Still Lampards biggest fan despite not been great this season. However I think he will be back to his best next season when we are sorted with a new manager and new players. I can see in his eyes how hungry he is and how hard he tries. Such a talent, just take my word, we have not seen the end of Super Frank Lampard!

I wish him well wherever the money takes him

He's in that BBC Outnumbered do dah tommrow for Sports relief..could be awkaward to watch lol

[Heisenberg 1,824]

I don't think that Lampard will left Chelsea , he said that Chelsea is his club and i think that Lampard is too much important for Chelsea , he is a man that represent the Successful Chelsea , and with the new players coming, to have Lampard along side you makes you fell that losing is not an option wearing the Chelsea shirt.

Never seen the show, apart from clips, at least it's a nice bit of publicity for Chelsea, capitalising on Lampard's stature.

It all depends if he's willing to play be squad player like Giggs and Scholes do at United. Otherwise, we'll have to let him go.

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Yes of course but I think he knows that he deserve THIS season to play as a titular under AVB and DiMatteo , but in a near future if he want the best for his club is to stay and play when the manager wants.Difficult but its like that.

[Spike 12,049]

I don't want him to leave. I still don't have a Lampard 8 shirt yet and I will be buying one when the new kit is for sale. He is still my hands down favourite player of all time.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

The fact that SAF tried to sign Lampard in January showed that was a lot of unrest in the team.Lampard didn't doubt AVB's managerial skills but disapproved of his communication skills.

RDM mentions in most of his interviews that he talks to each player individually in the team and such emphasis tells me that AVB really didn't do that in the training ground.I don't think Chelsea really require a reputed or an accomplished manager instead they need a manager who has a laissez-faire style or perhaps even a democratic kind,where there is effective communication between the players and managerial staff.With figures like Lampard and Terry in the team,this club just needs a motivator like RDM.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

He would probably accept the bench role if we signed players who are high-calibre enough to keep him out the squad. You could see his point if it was Meireles ahead of him.
