Because Lampard doesn't open his trap like Drogba.. it's always lamps agent in the papers talking all the trash, not once lampard has said, he'd like to join jose at inter or shit like that..
and even after what drogba says, i still love him as a Chelsea player and he's a legend for me.. what he says doesn't make a difference to me as long as he performs on the field..
such stances never work in favour of the side(club) which is looking for a bargain, it's always the side(player) who has the upperhand in negotatiaons, especially in franks case, when he has performed year after year and proved his worth and stolen the hearts of all the fans.. they wouldn't wanna be the reason or devil in this story and be the sole reason he left..
no we aren't gonna see many such situations, can you see SWP, malouda holding us out for such contracts..
at the end of the day even these figures aren't accurate and reliable.. they are just media gueses or from "secret" sources, the media print what sells.. and surely a thing that divides the fans of a club into two disticnt groups will sell..
