Hopefully he's able to get some minutes, but this might be too aggressive of a loan imo. Hopefully proves me wrong.

mata is good for a lot of games mata is very good for a lot of games mata is excellent for a lot of games

For all the big deal people are making about Frank, this is the guy we need to hold on to. You get him to sign a contract this January, or give Bertrand the lion's share of the playtime so he can do the job come next season. Good fullbacks are not easy to come by. They'll come at a premium, which in this already inflated market will not be good business.

Some people are just being bitter. Any sane person trying to have a half decent football career would have and should have made that decision.

Someone needs to teach him how to talk to the media. This isn't the first time he's run his mouth like an idiot. He can think whatever he wants, but you don't say stuff like that in the media like an idiot. That said, I'm fine with another season at West Brom. He's developing nicely and he won't at Chelsea. Considering we only play one up top, already have Ba and will most likely buy another in the summer he'll have no chance of developing any further here. He should be recalled when it's a given that he's second-choice striker at worst.

This has got to be the stupidest reason to not like a player. lol

lol wut? Hazard is def not better than Mata, he has the potential to be in the future but he def isn't right now. Mata is easily our best player and it's not even close.

never a red but wtf was kompany thinking even risking it with such a stupid tackle

Gotta give credit to the scouts and the board. We were linked with Debuchy, Van der wiel and azpi and hands down we picked the best one.

I agree that maybe another loan is required next year. But I want it to be at a team that plays possession football since that's what he'll have to adjust to at Chelsea.

Wisdom will get torn apart. He'll need counselling after today.

I agree with you completely. I think he def has more than enough in him to play a role for Chelsea. But I have to think it's cause of wages, no way our board would be that stupid to say no to Frank if he agreed to lower wages and a squad role. It would make no sense at all. I am sure Frank will re-assess his situation at the end of the year and if a team is willing to pay same wages as he's getting right now then he'll prolly go there otherwise I'm sure Chelsea has a deal on the table for him at lower wages for next year.

lol I suggest you look for some then and rub one out, why so agitated? lol

Cause you couldn't find porn? And, this is the next best thing?

Whatever you're going to say isn't going to change my opinion and I'm not trying to change yours. It's an opinion, do you know what that means? I love Lampard, I love him to death. I was crying cause of the goals he missed today because I can't wait to rub one out when he becomes our top scorer. But I'm also a realist and the simple fact to me is that financially it doesn't make sense to offer him a contract at his current wages. If anything a Chelsea fan should know what finances can really do for you. If it was upto me Drogba would still be here. And saying I'm not a Chelsea fan because I don't agree with you is down-right pathetic. That's how you take a high ground in an argument? lol I will guarantee you that Lamps won't be going to United or any of the teams you listed because I am 100% confident (have to be) that he's only holding out for wages, otherwise the board would have already signed him up if he was happy taking lower wages and a squad role next season. I don't think Lamps is good enough to be Chelsea first team next season. I'd love him to take a squad role but he'll have to take a squad player wages. Simple.

It's not even about his age, or giving youth a chance over him. I never said that, you are trying to project an agenda onto me which I didn't bring up. And, we don't even have any youth or any player in the squad better for the pivot at the moment but that doesn't mean we don't need one. I didn't bring up once that I want Lamps gone to give others a chance, there is no one, but there has to be next season or even this January. Our midfield is horrible. Yeah, he played good today, but I don't think he's good enough to be starting material for Chelsea anymore. Today might be hard to get this across considering he put in a BEAST of a performance but I'm sorry, I don't think he's been Chelsea quality for two years now. And, don't bother bringing up others on the squad who aren't Chelsea quality, I know very well there are several not Chelsea quality and I have the same feelings for them. But for the money we'd be paying him, we can get several better players for the pivot. I'm not saying they'll be Lampard replacement because I don't think we'll ever see a CM like Lampard again, but we can def find better footballers for Chelsea than current Lamps for the money we'll be paying him. And, I am confident that high wages are the reason he's not being extended because that's the only thing that makes sense. You can't honestly think that the board will not offer Lamps an extension if he was willing to accept lower wages. And the reason I bring up a bit-part player again is not because of age, but simply because that's what his quality warrants for a team like Chelsea. Midfield has been our weakness for some time. Even if you pay super high wages to Lampard the simple fact is that we are still weak there and have to still buy a first choice double pivot player. Like it or not, but if Lamps is still first choice next season in the pivot, that's not a good enough midfield. So if you expect Chelsea to improve like Chelsea should, we'll need a top-class midfielder and that automatically relegates Lamps to a squad role. And you don't pay 150K to a squad player, no matter who it is. That's stupidity.

Our squad seems so thin, we def need to rest some so they're ready for the Arsenal game but also can't afford to drop points at home. Really wish Moses and Mikel were here.

People have to realize that the reason he's not getting offered a new contract is not because anyone thinks he's not good enough, but rather to pay a 35 year old 150K a week to be a bit part player is utter stupidity. You think United are paying Giggs and Scholes that much? Hello no! I'm perfectly ok with Frank leaving if he's getting that kind of money elsewhere, and perfectly fine with Chelsea not wanting to match it. That said, I really hope he becomes top scorer before the end of the season. I was so pissed today at Frank for not getting a piece of cake hat-trick.

No way we can afford Fellaini and Falcao this window. Impossible. Only way we can even afford one is if someone pays 30M for nando

Again, I have no idea how you can even bring up Marin. Hazard if is getting unfair love from others, he's at least earned a bit of that. Marin has done jack shit so far. You think instead of Lamps it was Torres today missing those chances he would have still had a shot at MOTM? You gotta earn that shit.

He scored the second goal only cause he so big and fast, the defender stood so far off him and the dude just stroked a shot into the goal. Very dangerous player.

lol Marin? wtf has Marin done yet in a Chelsea shirt for you to even bring him up anyways, hazard had very good moments and bad moments as well, he lost possession numerous times but so did Lamps, in the beginning 25-30 minutes other than Luiz everyone was shockingly bad, so I guess if we're going to be overly critical of those things after a 4-0 win then Luiz is MOTM and quite easily I think just cause we won handsomely today, an attacker deserves MOTM and even though he had some poor play, attacking wise i think he made the biggest contributions so hazard eeks it out for me over Lamps

Adam Nditi, I thought, could be wrong though.

I think he's a little too aggressive with his play style to be a pivot player. Instead of asking him to tone it down and forcing him in the pivot, we should either use him as a CM in a 4-3-3 or one of the attacking 3 in the a 4-2-3-1. With a striker like Ba and hopefully Cavani or Falcao next season, his play style would be a great complement.

We need to buy another striker. Ba alone is not enough. Shoulda kept Sturridge and rotated him with Ba. There is no way Torres deserves even a single more game for Chelsea.
