🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Frank Lampard

[samzilla 517]

I watch the MLS sometimes, and tbf, most of the refereeing is awful as far as I've seen.

Still out injured, I hope he comes back soon, this is a period when we need every single player.

MLS officiating is a farce. The league quality at this point is being held back by the officiating. NFL replacement refs could do a better job. The only thing the refs get right is the vanishing spray they use after counting out 10 yards for wall placement. Makes it pretty hard for them to miss wall encroachment when there's a stark white line on the pitch.

I agree.

Sorry Lamps but you haven't been missed at all.

I will be amazed if he is with us next season

Yeah, don't think he will be which is sad because I think he could be a fantastic impact sub for a few years. (And because it would piss off idiots like the poster above you who are obsessed with buying new players and have no respect for legends.)

1st Fuckyourself.

2nd Didier Drogba was voted the greatest Chelsea player of all times and yet he is GONE, because that's how things work and look now we play far better then last year.Could he been offered a year extension (just for the sake of it, lets defend our legends and play them till their mid sixties), yes but the board did the right thing and can't help but think that if they do the same with Lamps it will only benefit the club.

Saying he won't be missed is a big call..

Because, fuck yes he will be missed!!!! Same with 98% of players who have worn a Chelsea shirt.

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

Just had the craziest idea, but I think we should play Lampard up front instead of Torres.

[Reddish-Blue 2,503]

I still think Lampard has a role to play at Chelsea. If he does end up leaving, hopefully he comes back as a coach someday!

It's obvious Lampard wont be with us next season but at least he knows the club are now ready to move on and are in very good hands. I always thought that when the Lampard's, Cole's, JT's are gone, we'll be fucked. That wont be the case. We're now playing the modern way and we're gonna only be better and get stronger. The signings of Ramires, Oscar, Hazard, Marin, Mata, Romeu, Azpi etc were master strokes. We're in such a good place right now. This time last year i was worried because let's face it, we were fucking shit. The turn around has been quite dramatic and it's been mainly without Lampard. We all love and respect him for all he has done but it's the end of an era.

The Jose era, i still see it as. Cech, Terry, Cole, Drogba, Lampard imo was the Mourinho era, even in the last 2 or 3 years. The tough, physical, slightly long ball boring at times (but fucking ruthless and i personally loved it) era is over. Let the entertainment begin.

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Lamps has been badly missed against Shakthar, ManU and Swansea, esp as a leader and finisher. Still should not be written off, even though it is true he probably won't be with us next year. he won't fit into the giggs/scholes role simply because neither Scholes nor Giggs ever were the player Lamps was. Lamps has not only contributed but was our most important player for 10 years, regardless of age, manager or critics.

On the other hand I am certain, Lampard CAN adapt. He could play striker, in the hole or as a deep lying playmaker but only if he wants.

However, still has a massive part to play this season.

I haven't seen Lamps and JT start together for a while. I'm having withdrawls.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

The last time we played a CL without Lampard, Terry and Cole was against Napoli away last season.

[nachikethas 1,154]

i miss him

[DH1988 1,348]

I'd be very happy if he just came out and said "Look I understand we've got some amazing players coming through and I'm going to do for them what Veron/Petit did for me, taught me everything they knew to improve me as a player and help the team whereever in whatever games I can"

Sort of like what Scholes and Giggs do for United, however I realise that only happens in a non-existent world for Chelsea.

Frank Lampard has agreed a deal to sign for Chinese side Guizhou Renhe in January, according to reports from China this morning. #CFC

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

"@TransferNewsCen: CCTV reporter Liu Siyuan Sina: "Guizhou chairman Dai Yongge told me that he has officially signed Lampard and will be revealed in January""

[Leif 6,006]

As far as being a 'legend' goes, it would be sad to see him go.

As for as being strictly a footballer goes, we'd be a better team without him.

He simply doesn't play too well anymore and he's on astronomical wages when you take into consideration what he offers us these days on the pitch. Imagine the amount of top players we could bring in and spread Lamps' wages amongst (in theory).

Sad but true.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

I can't imagine Mrs. Lampard will be agreeing to move to China somehow.
