Torres to score.

Seriously can't see anything Khedira does that Ramires can't/doesn't.

Imagine getting high with David Luiz...

It's moments like this, the Villa game where he became top scorer, Bolton etc... which make it all even worse tbh. These sort of moments created an emotional bond between the fans, the club and Lampard, but Frank doesn't seem to hold it as dear to his heart as we do. Whether you accept his move to City as an okay thing to do, no one can deny that his legacy has been damaged IMO. You can't sit there and tell me you don't mind it when Lampard is winning our title rivals points.

They've chosen Messi it seems.

As Didier's replacement next year? That would be fantastic.

Thought I was the only one lol.

It's sad though. Lampard could've been known as the spearhead of the most successful CFC team ever (so far), and would've been spoken about for decades upon decades here as the man. He still will be spoken about but not in the same vigour. Guess players like Lampard really do not care about that.

I certainly don't think that, but Lampard knows he's carrying Chelsea's identity with him and that he's an absolute legend here. It's disrespectful to the club. Lampard is basically saying that he doesn't care about being one of the greatest players here and that his legacy here is minute to him.

I'm actually sitting here laughing my head off at this... Wtf

Absolute tease. Bet your wife/girl hates you.

Have barely watched Madrid at all this season. Is he playing much? Would take him over Oscar in a heartbeat.

It's a joke we spent £30m on Willian, trust me I was one of the most vocal ones on here against it but he's a CFC player now, and frankly isn't good enough to be a constant starter for a team of our aspirations, so yeah, IMO he makes the ideal 4th AM.

I'll hopefully be at that City game. I definitely won't boo him, but I doubt highly I'll be joining in with the Super Frank chants because frankly, I wasn't even that bothered about the loan initially but the fact that he tried to be cute with it and tried to dress it up as a loan from the MLS, when now reputable sources are claiming he actually just signed for City straight and that the NYCFC presentation was pretty much a facade... I'll just stay silent. This guy was the biggest CFC hero by far, but IMO he's traded that away for some more time at the top. Worth it? I don't think so.

Isco would be the ideal AM. Isco would be an amazing signing tbh. If I could sign two from Madrid it'd be him and Varane.

What I would do as well (or something similar). Sell Schurrle and Salah (still think Willian is useful as a 4th AM), get in Reus, and promote someone like Boga. Simple.

If we get Varane, this guy and him could easily be the best partnership in the world for years to come.

Love Micah. Would make a great squad player.

Sorry to be pessimistic but... Don't want this to happen...

I know a few that went to SB that weren't impressed by his performance at all, he was the worst player after Schurrle.My point before doesn't really just extend to this game regardless.

Hazard is a lot more selfless than Lampard is, I'm sure if Diego asked for it he would probably give it to him.

The problem is, Oscar should be more than just a 'solid long term player'. He should be our future with Eden. I've not given up on him because I don't believe he's going to be a solid player, I'm giving up on him because I don't think he has the potential to become one of the best players in the world anymore. Sure, he's going to be a good player but nothing more. We should be aiming higher tbh.

talkchelsealegend? didn't get to see the posts.

Forgot about that possibility. That would certainly work very well as well if Mourinho decides to change the system and allow our number 10 to focus on attacking first and foremost.

He has to take even bigger steps than Eden because Eden is a lot more talented than Oscar. Eden has to take big steps because he has the ambition of winning the Ballon D'or and he's getting there. Oscar on the other hand seems to be shying away and doesn't seem to be willing to step up to take the responsibility of becoming a great player. He'll never win the Ballon D'or because he doesn't really have any outstanding qualities but he should be aiming to become a top player but he doesn't seem to have that fire in him, it looks like he's tired of playing football already.IMO I think Oscar is pretty much finished developing as a player as I can't see anything where he can develop on massively. This is the season where he's meant to be kicking on but honestly over his time here I can't see any significant improvements he's made. Hazard on the other hand you can see has clearly been working hard to realise his dream. Oscar doesnt seem to have a true dream. Really starting to give up on this kid.
