Frank Lampard

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

I honestly do not understand Chelsea´s offer, I must admit.

On one hand Cole received close to 200 thou a week, an increase. Meanwhile, Frank was offered less than what he is making now.

I understand where you are coming from but Cole is still one of the best in his Position while Frank is not anymore

Not that hard to understand. Cole will still be a first team player next season. Lampard is going to be a squad player next season. Though i do agree 200 k a week is excessive but Cole probably had other offers and forced the club into this situation.

Well, Cole may be one of the best but is Frankie not one of the best English players around ?

I mean, close to 200 goals, so far, more than 10 goals in every season...& on.

Frank do have other offers too. Can Chelsea afford to see him sign for Manure, for example ?

Chelsea will become the laughing stock of PL, especially if Frank plays well for Manure.

Well Lampard might have other offers but he's less of priority because he'll be a squad player. We're already looking at reinforcing our CM.

While Cole would still be a first team player. If he left we would have to buy a quality left back again. Chelsea probably thought that it would be cheaper to just give Cole a higher wage then to buy another left back.

Lampard won't go to Man u.

Completely different situations. As others have said, Cole is the best in the world at what he does and we won't have to sign a replacement for him next year. With Frank, whether we sign him or not we need to sign someone to replace him in the first-team.

When the club like Chelsea have one of the best in their squad, Frankie is certainly one of the best, played for Chelsea for years, the club should not hesitate to offer him decent contract, I feel.

How do you know Cole will play in every game from now on ?

Frank won´t go to Manure, how do you know that ?

Mins/Goal (Min 5 Goals) - Chicarito (78), Dzeko (99), Le Fondre (103), Lampard (103), RVP (113)

[bushman 2,043]

Frankie needs 5 goals from now on.

If I were him, I would wait until the end of the season to see how many goals I am getting. Then, I would decide whether to sign for Chelsea or not. If he breaks the record, most likely he´ll go elsewhere.

Frank 'bowed' to us in the Matthew Harding post-90. Incredible legacy, bigger icon than Zola.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Cole doesn't earn anywhere near close to £200k pw? Where the hell did you get that from?

Well bertrand isn't ready so if not Cole then who s going to play our left back ?

Lampard is the best for years but seeing as we're looking for a quality midfielder i don't think they see him as a priority singing.

Just a personal feeling. He knows how it would look if he signed for Man u.

Frank Lampard signs children's book deal

England and Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard is to write a series of children's books, publisher Little Brown has announced.

The midfielder, whose contract expires at the end of the
season, will pen five books, called Frankie's Magic Football, for
children aged five and above.

The stories will follow the adventures of a school boy, Frankie, his football-loving friends, and pet dog Max.

Lampard said the stories were "loosely based on friends and team mates".

The 34-year-old will publish his first book, Frankie Versus
The Pirate Pillagers, in June, followed by two more this year and
another two in 2014.

"I first had the idea of Frankie and his Magic Football when reading stories to my own children," he said in a statement.

"Sport and reading are two essentials for us at home, so I decided to make up my own football stories and adventures."

"Wacky adventures'

Lampard has two daughters, aged five and eight, with his
former fiancee, Spanish model Elen Rivas. He is currently engaged to TV
presenter Christine Bleakley.

The vice-captain of Chelsea FC, Lampard currently earns
£150,000 per week. He started his career in 1994 at West Ham United,
where his father, Frank Lampard Sr, had also played.

He has represented England more than 90 times, scoring 27
goals - but he may be best remembered for a shot he took in a 2010 World
Cup match against Germany.

The ball crossed the line, and players and fans believed
Lampard had scored a goal - but it was disallowed. The resulting furore
prompted football's world governing body, Fifa, to investigate the
introduction of goal-line technology, which was used for the first time
in a Club World Cup match last December.

Lampard's book deal was brokered by Neil Blair and Zoe King,
who also represent JK Rowling. They said the books were "full of
loveable characters on wacky adventures" and destined for "great
things".

He is not the first footballer to write fiction - Arsenal
star Theo Walcott has written a series of children's books and former
England manager Terry Venables co-wrote a series of crime novels.

In the climactic last book during half time he downs four pints of Singha beer and six balti pies, then kicks Benitez to death in the technical area
