The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 They declined to go into detail but confirmed that Lampard's £150,000-a-week salary would not be slashed as a primary condition of any new deal. I'm all for a one-year extension but he's got to be looking at a significant pay cut.This could just be an effort to appease some of the fans though.

Popular Post! Hutcho 8,443 Posted January 5, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted January 5, 2013 If the club want to pay him that, then he has earned it, we have more expensive people doing a hell of a lot less for the club. 150k is extreme, but if we sign him i will not really be too bothered about his wages. In my eyes he is super frankie, and exceptions can be made...And in reply to inevitable responses: yes the club is more important than 1 player, but that 1 player is pretty darn special and if you got rid of someone like torres on his wage bill you would get your money back and we have thrown considerably more money on people who gives/has given this club far far less... chelseathebest, xPetrCechx, Manuf and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutcho 8,443 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I can't see how they could justify giving a 35 year old nearly 8m.How do you justify giving torres more than 8 mil a year?I know who i would rather pay it too. And does he look like a 34 year old... He has supreme fitness levels as we have seen this season with him sprinting back faster than david luiz in the last minute of a game... Ideally we shouldn't pay either of them 150k for obvious reasons, but it wouldn't bother me at all if he was getting paid that, as to have him stay here would be worth it for me.

DH1988 1,348 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Literally I don't care just offer him a one year contract, cut his wages, 150k is ridiculous.I'm ALL for keeping him as I think he is useful on/off the pitch however @ 150k!!

You pay people wages not because they've earned it, but because they will earn it. Other players might be on more and I expect you're talking about Torres because that's the example everyone uses, but we can't renegotiate his contract right now without him wanting to. We're fucked in that case.With Lamps we can and there's no way he's worth £150,000 p/w anymore. We're having this conversation after a 5-0 win in which he came on at 4-1 and scored a penalty - I didn't see people quite so vocal after the QPR game.Yes we would be lovely to get rid of Torres but let's look at it another way - with the £5 million we spend on Lamps in wages we could buy Luke Shaw from Southampton. That's the type of choice we have to make nowadays - you want to spend money on an old, bit-part player or try and invest in the future of the club? How do you justify giving torres more than 8 mil a year?I know who i would rather pay it too. And does he look like a 34 year old...

Torres contract cannot be renegotiated without his consent. It's a moot point. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres couldn't justify an unpaid internship right now let alone 8m a year. But we're stuck with him because that contract has many more years to run. Tough break.Our midfield needs sorting for the long-term and throwing 8m at a 35 year old isn't the best answer. We have a clear issue with our central midfield play. Time waits for no man.

And QPR game was hardly all on lampard, i think everyone went missing that game. I am not debating whether we should from a purely business like point of view pay lampard 150k a week. I am simply stating that i would love to see him given a contract so much that if he was to be given that it wouldn't bother me. I would just want him to stay, It is the wrong attitude from a business standpoint but i have an undying sense of loyalty to lampard because in my eyes he is the greatest and always will be so would just love him to stay.

Throwing big money at a player who isn't deserving of it is the opposite of what we're supposed to be doing and like any business, if you're spending it in one place you aren't spending it in another.

If it is a simple 150k extension, then awesome. However, I bet he would accept a 80k offer just to stay at the club.Well, I dont know him nor Roman, so this is just me assuming things...

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Who knows? Lots of rumours going round but we are not privy to what's really happening. I always assumed that Lampard would take a pay cut to sign a deal. He's going to be playing less, so he should get less money. From a footballing perspective, Frank is still plenty good enough to contribute on the pitch and it would be good public relations for the club to its fans as well.

Popular Post! HRiver 1,512 Posted January 5, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted January 5, 2013 I`m sorry but giving him 2 years with the same wages is huge case of bottling it. Also if they have decided to give him that contract because he scored the fifth goal from a penalty that should have not have been given in the first place then its absolutely laughable.I'm sorry, but do you even like Lamps? Or did you ever like him?I'm not saying you should commend him all the time and come here and say "I fucking love you Frank, I'd suck your dick if I could", but you seem to disparage him every time you have the chance, and for a Chelsea fan it just doesn't seem right to me.
