Same misery of the Mourinho days. Midfield completely outclassed by any half decent sides.

I keep telling people Lampard is shit. He is done. As long as he stays we will continue to be humiliated like this. At 175000 pounds a week ? What a fucking joke. Just as bad as Torres but he is the local hero so no one says it.

Lampard is pretty terrible. Can't even hold his ground against Benfica. Smh.

That haircut looks good on him.

All the stories are just quoting the Talksport article, which was probably made up itself.

He was the main reason for the third place finish. Both us and United have conceded the same amount of goals. Difference between the two has been the difference between Van Persie and Torres. I will never hate him though. I just wish for him to move since I think we'll do wonders with an elite striker. We'll easily be one of the most fearful attacking sides in Europe. Imagine Oscar, Hazard, Mata and Cavani !

Not devastating, but hopefully there is a salary reduction and an acceptance to come off the bench.

Cavani seems to me to be the perfect combination of both Lewandowski and Falcao. Faster than Falcao, and more technical than Lewandowski. Can finish with either foot and can head the ball pretty well also. Guy is a pure goal scoring machine. There is really a super elite class of strikers out there that are almost getting a goal a game such as Falcao, Lewandowski, and Cavani. We would be blessed to get either one of these three.

Torres is shit actually, but no need to really insult him like that lol. Even Kalou doesn't deserve that. Up till the last two years my cousin always insulted me on the phone since I used to tell him Torres will eventually come good. Now I don't have the heart to argue with him anymore lol. It was still our own fault though. Torres was already declining in his last year at Liverpool wasn't he ? His last year in Liverpool he had 9 goals in 26 appearances. Not woeful, but not Torres standard since he got 22 in 32 appearances the year before that. This is what made the transfer fee so comical exactly. In a way we actually helped Liverpool get rid of a declining player and they went on to get Suarez. What is his future here exactly ? Who will want to take his wages on ? It will be a major challenge in my opinion just to move him. It is amazing really how good clubs like Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Bayern etc are with their money. They obviously don't have to pay the billionaire's surcharge that Roman does in every transfer but they also don't seem to have the same amount of duds and always are able to find diamonds in the rough. This time we have to be really careful when selecting the new striker. I don't think I'll be able to relive the Torres drama.

I was wondering all week where I had seen him before.

His face bears an eery resemblance to Richard Ramirez.

I have supported Chelsea long and have not ever received such vicious character attacks. Heartbreaking, but I am ready to die a martyr for this club I love.

You are right. But he still shouldn't be beaten at the near post from that angle. Unlucky, but a mistake still. To the poster who said we won't get money for Cech, you are wrong. Cech is way better than Julio Caesar or Lloris. Recent times haven't been so good due to our shitty defense by remember during Mourinho's time when we used to regularly grind out 1-0 wins ? Cech anchored one of the best defenses in the league during this time. In my opinion he still has a good 6-7 years in him and we can easily get 15-20m pounds for him. Barcelona desperately need a good keeper, for instance.

Fastest to 50 in the league history. Slowest to the next 10 ? What happened. I remember eagerly watching my tv the day he was coming here. Helicopters were flying, people were at the airports, there was a loud crowd outside the bridge. This all late at night ! Someone has to take responsibility for all these strikers failing and in my opinion Lampard has been failing his duties as a midfielder. No matter what you say, 1 assist just won't cut it. I'm sorry folks, just telling you the way it is. As much as I love Lampard, it is time to go. Lampard + Mikel tries to bore the opposition into submission. I am crying tears as I write this. Sorry Lampard. You don't cry please. You made a lot of money. 175000 for your level is 75000 too much. Hopefully we can provide you a good sending off like they did to that horse in Animal Farm. Torres will be the donkey.

Is he better than Cech was at this age ? Cech has been making mistakes more often now, like that Benteke goal.

Has Talksport actually ever broken a true story ? Anybody here know ?

Actually, if the deal gets us Reus or Lewandowski then I'd be okay with it. Otherwise it's foolish, especially at the price quoted.

Mikel can't be a starter unfortunately. He is average defensively and poor offensively. Doesn't really provide much of anything and hasn't really been missed. The Mikel and Lampard combination has been such a terrible idea and yet the club persisted with it for so long. More so than anything it has been responsible for a lot of insipid football.

That is true. Many people today don't understand sarcasm.

Easy way to defeat Monaco next season is to just throw a penny into the sidelines. Radamel will fetch.

For his talent level he should be dominating matches. Sometimes he just disappears. I'm still very happy with him, but he has the potential to be so much better.

That cross didn't meet Drogba at all, but it's okay. Great memory of Frank.

I'm afraid Lampard is stealing Torres' goals. If you think about it, Torres hasn't been scoring while Lampard has been scoring but not providing any assists. One assist all season is very pitiful, in my humble opinion. I bet if I played I would get one more assist even if I didn't mean to ! Even if you go out every game and scream before the match starts "I will not assist", you should be able to get more than 1 assist just by accident ! One assist last season and 5 the previous one is not good enough ! No wonder our strikers are failing so miserably. You just can't start Lamps now. If he can play parcel role in Carling Cup and super sub then maybe he should stay. Torres, the genius striker of Liverpool has not been able to get going at all. Before that, many other strikers. Lampard just isn't good at assisting strikers it seems. Thanks for the memories Frank. Hopefully he can come back as the assistant coach or something. If he stays it will end in tears. Mark my words.

Worst transfer by far in Premier League history.

Thanks for understanding.
