Frank Lampard

[Heisenberg 1,824]

I want Lampard to go now, rather than losing a bit of respect from the fans for him, he is our greatest player, so, score three more goals baby, and go, your time has gone.I hope he'll get a special match.

[juko 19]

what i love with some people is when lampard does a bad match he has to go and when he performs oh he deserves a new contract lol

Arguing with Di Canio

As a blues legend, he deserves at least one-year extension on his contract. 34 years old and still score more goals than Torres. Every Chelsea fan would break out in tears if he left at the end of the season.

Rumours from the paper changes over time. His agent says the club seems reluctant to offer him a new contract.

Why doesn't Roman like him? Why? It seems pretty reasonable to offer him a one year extension on his contract based on his performance so far this season. Why did we offer Cole a new contract not Lampard?

I just can't understand the reasons behind it. I would lose half of my love on Chelsea if Lampard leaves. I have been watching him playing since 2003.

First, we don't know for sure if the club is reluctant to give him a new contract. Maybe they are trying to work out something.

Secondly, we don't know Lampard's wage demand, it certainly wouldn't be the wisest thing in the world to pay a ridiculous amount of money to a 34 year old.

Thirdly, Lampard is one of the best players who's ever put on a chelsea shirt, i love him to death. BUT he has not been able to produce the goods consistently this season, yes he still scored more than 10 goals in the PL this season but his overall performance hasn't been up there. Different to Cole (who also experienced a dip in form due to age) but still is one of the best fullbacks in the world.

Last point, just because a legend is leaving doesn't mean you have to love the club less, no one is bigger than the club. I love Lampard a huge amount, as well as Drogba who left. Would I be heart broken if Lampard leaves, or Terry in the near future? heck yeah I would probably shed a tear like I did when Drogba left.

Would I love Chelsea less, no way.

You are a true blue!

I also admire Frankie a great deal. One classy footballer in my view who brought many memorable moments in my life just by watching him play.

Since he is 34 year old, the club must move & replace him with younger player.

Most of you will argue, Frank still scores plenty. Well, that is true but can he play 90 minutes twice a week as needed ? I doubt it.

Will he lower his salary to let´s say half of current one ? I doubt it too.

Therefore, he must be let go. Wish him much luck elsewhere.

[lucio 5,418]

he is not suited to playing in the double pivot. i would still play him occasionally in CAM.

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

IF lamps will accept a lower salary- need to stay.

[Heisenberg 1,824]

I think the main problem is, does really Lampard want to have less wages, less gametime, just to stay here ?

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

It is time for him to go. He can get a last massive pay day in China,MLS(LOL), or even Russia. If we are serious about rebuilding, then we need to get the youngsters some game time. This can be achieved better with him gone.

Lampard is one of three players to feature in both games against Southampton (2-2 draw at home, 2-1 loss away) and QPR (0-0 draw away and 1-0 loss at home).

In fact by my reckoning of the last six games we've lost, the only TWO players to start each of them has been Ivanovic and.....Lamps.

(Southampton away, Man City away, Steaua away, Newcastle away, Swansea home, QPR home).

That doesn't include the Man United FA Cup game that he came off in when we were 2-0 down, before coming back to draw 2-2.

[bushman 2,043]

Meaningless stats. Chelsea lost those games as a team & not because Frankie played in them.

[Liquidator 5,176]

it would make sense. Our board doesn't do sense.

Hi only place to be! :-)
