xPetrCechx 13,573 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I don't have long left at the top level - LampardFrank Lampard has admitted he will look to leave Chelsea as soon as he realises he no longer has the ability to contribute to the club's chase for silverware - although he hopes that point is still a few years away. http://www.espn.co.u...tml?CMP=OTC-RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave30 728 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 i think hes still got about 3 years left of being really able to contribute to the club at his highest level . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Read this on sky sports news, he even said he won't hang around, he will actually just retire, instead of going to another club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 As long as Frank retires after leaving Chelsea then it is fine. I am glad he realises his limits, but I am even more glad that such a phenomenal footballer has done so much for this club. Chelsea's greatest ever player in my honest opinion. Maybe not on a footballing basis, but in terms of Frank the person; for his commitment and his attitude. I'll never forget that penalty against Liverpool; it was a moment that defined Lampard, defined the team and defined the club. He really is Mister Chelsea.

zolayes 14,489 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 some simple maths for Frank to think about ...2 years max playing 90 minutes 50+ games a season ....or 5 years playing 30 games sometimes 60 mins or 30 mins from the bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can accept that he doesn't need to play every minute of every game then he can prolong his career a little bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Good to see Frank is sensible about it. It was interesting to see him play a slightly different role yesterday.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is Mister Chelsea.Exactly, my sig is made of that penalty celebration. Lamps is my favourite footballer ever... his intelligence, calmness, vision, passing, scoring... are legendary. The day he retires will no doubt be a sad day for me and I'm sure for most of Chelsea fans aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I noticed Villas-Boas playing him in a deeper role yesterday. This allows Lampard to still play at the top level, without exerting too much energy while being an ideal substitute. He can be the Paul Scholes of Chelsea (minus the kissing of Gary Neville), if he's willing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
