Not quite sure what's more hilarious.. The way The Sun have worded this or the way the OP has believed them word-for-word.

Lampard is a legend but the club is not bigger than one individual.

[Henrique 9,133]

He wont leave in january, but the club wont renew his contract. Not sure if thats wrong.

[bluephoenix 1,131]

title isn't apt at all... besides we were the bunch who badly wanted injection of young blood ... Drogba wasn't offered a contract even after wining the UCL title for the club ... Lampard also wont be offered a contract for obvious reasons no surprise here can't complaint much can you ?

That's not true. Drogba said before the CL final he had already made up his mind he would not return.

In fact in every day and every moment i read the news about Lamps and Ash and the non-renewal of the contract with them, I just keep ask myself "Roman What you are doing?" really at the end of the season Frankie and Ash will be leave and bring some young f***ing players!!

And also I am keep asking myself how will be reaction the fans in the event of non-renewal and let them leave?!!

What do you think?

UP CHELS!

This is the sun!!

take that paper with u to the bathroom, not for reading it though.

Don't see the need to have another separate thread when in the end, we'll just be talking about Lampard's contract situation.

Merged.

[Buffalo talks Blue 85]

Aww, my childhood crush will be leaving in the summer? Whyy? :(

[Blue Gino 377]

Frank's got so much damn dough I don't feel sorry for the guy who won't accept a one year deal at lower wages. If he loved the club as much as he claims, he'll take the deal.

[Jase 43,479]

Tottenham have announced that they extended Brad Friedel's, a 41 year old, contract till 2014 while our club here wants to dump Cole(32 y/o) and Lampard(34 y/o) when they still have some good use out of the club.

I know that we all want him to stay for sentimental reasons, but when you come to think of it logically you have to say that the club has a very good point. Setting aside what he has done for the club in the past and just looking at what he can offer in the next 2 seasons it is really unjustifiable to be paying him 160k/wk when he's likely to miss more than half of our matches. I think whether he stays or not is completely in his hands, he can either take a huge pay cut and stay or continue with his current wages and move to the US or middle east.

Do we have a homegrown problem?Cole,Lamps and Daniel are leaving us.

Of course if they are gonna to stay, then Cole and Lampard have to take a wage cut but how serious is the club in offering them a contract extension? It's like they don't really bother that much.

Of course the club will have contract talks with Frank and Ash. No reason for the club to not want them here on lower wages.

Who knows when the club is being managed by some clowns?

Who knows when the club is being managed by some clowns?

Really? I know it's easy/fashionable to have a go at the board but I disagree with that assessment entirely.

We're talking about Lamps leaving. Now he's a great player but there are 3 players who we might be looking at to replace him in the squad - Oscar, De Bruyne and McEachran.

Those are three young players with massive potential whose combined wages are less than Lampard's. Yes Lamps is a legend and yes he played well against Villa but where was his experience and leadership in the CWC?

The case for Cole is completely different because he's clearly still one of the best players in his position in the world, but the club has to stick by it's policy for players over the age of 30 otherwise what's the point?

[Melanicus 5,208]

Frank Lampard was informed before the Aston Villa game to find another club in the January transfer window.

[Term-X 7,891]

It's hard not to be sentimental when it comes to Lampard, he is the greatest Chelsea player ever, and that's speaking objectively. I'd love him to accept that one year extension and have a similar role as the two United legends enjoy under Ferguson. Unlikely as it is..

[Styles 9,790]

I would love for Lampard to stay but in the age of Financial Fair Play it's impossible that a soon to be 35 year old can get his wages on a 2 or even 3 year deal. I doubt Lampard is willing to accept significantly reduced wages on a one year deal.
