NishC300 1,865 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Is that Luiz with a boner watching Frank's backside? uh..... maybe Lamps pinned a picture of some hot girl on the back of his shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Daily start need to shut the fuck up. Making up these stories just to play on fans' emotions. Disgusting journalism. If you can't take the emotions, ignore the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Good for Terry to play that angle, trying to get Lamps signed up!I really don't want to think our captain is trying to play 'angles' on social media in order to get the board to sign up certain players. That seems a tad bit unprofessional if you ask me.Pay tribute to a guy when he's leaving, but JT seems to be going by newspaper rumours.

He signs a contract for a certain number of years, he's well paid and looked after during them and then the contract comes to an end. That's how a lot of people spend their working lives.Both parties will then move on and in a few year's time he'll probably come back and be part of the Chelsea family again.Hard as it may be for some to believe, this club did exist before 2001. gr123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave30 728 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 AN ENORMOUSLY HUGE STATUE OF JT AND LAMPS TOGETHER! That would soften the blow but unfortunately the ego of Roman simply won't allow it. Not only is the guy not passionate about the history, tradition or culture of our club he actively holds it in contempt. Anything not done by him he considers not to be Chelsea and so anything close to the admirable statue or Stand renaming of Old Trafford is inconceivable for the board. Mark my words there will not even be a testimonial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we ignore the money side, there's always the point that Roman might want to move on to a new era and make a break with the old one. Sometimes age and experience is a good thing to have around, and sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it can be a barrier to change. I'm not saying that's definitely the case here, but it's a possible factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton 2,120 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 So what's the truth about the AVB-saga? Those rumoures of the older players boycotting him have any truth? Or is it just coincedence that these players don't get a new contract?Just a bit brainstorming here, trying to understand why our legends have to go..

dave30 728 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Best idea i've heard all day is for the CPO to erect a huge statue of Lamps in the Centre Circle and refuse for it to be moved until the Cunt gives in. Liquidator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuf 1,448 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 FFS DID TERRY REALLY POST A FUCKING COMPLAINT ON A SOCIAL WEB AFTER READING SOME FUCKING TABLOID?

It practically designs itself! Genius, worth sending to the club so that hopefully someone bright enough will pass it on to the highest authorities.Nothing new has been said, don't overreact just yet. Has ANYONE even remotely credible actually said ANYTHING?Might be textbook denial but considering Lampard's character* and his importance to the club I can't see this being anything but typical contact negotiations. Give it a few months and we'll have Terry's contract to ramble over.*In the sense of him not being as thick as Joe Cole/Sturridge or as adventurous as Didier CHOULO19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Has ANYONE even remotely credible actually said ANYTHING? There were reports last week and an article by Neil Ashton who is always right about Chelsea inside stories. Then yesterday Franks agent came out and told the Metro that "the only thing we know for sure is that Lampard will be looking for a different team in the summer." Add to that JT saying on instagram today that he is beyond devastated that Frank is leaving and that we should retire the #8 jersey.I don't buy that JT only found out in the papers. They are best mates, of course he knew before. To me, there is no point in denying it further, he's going at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Am I the only one who think Lampard is being evaluated and the club will only offer him a contract at the end of the season?I mean, there is a possibility the club still does not know whether to extend it or not. I does not mean it is a no! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Neil Ashton's Chelsea source, as the club is usually the last place to leak facts.Weren't the agent quotes subsequently denied? That's really the oldest trick in the book. I'm not sure what to think of the JT thing although as much as I like the man I wouldn't put that daftness past him or more likely he may not be as well informed as what we think a "best mate" would be.But my angle really stands on your last sentence, if Lamps is leaving, which country/club/place would he pick over what he's been loving (or at least enjoying) for the past 12 years?

Mark my words there will not even be a testimonial. I've not seen anything that suggests Roman is the cunt you think he is. In fact I think it's massively unfair.Lamps isn't a young man anymore. He's going to be 35, he's not the player he once was and we have a number of youngsters who are going to be pushing for a spot in the team. What more do you actually want? gr123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hoping for a U turn from the club but I can't see it.I'm not saying he's a lynchpin of the side anymore but what I am saying is what JT said, #heartbeat! There's no doubt he is a useful squad player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
