He is a legend but no way. We need players to continue our history, retiring shirts aren't suitable anymore nowadays. I agree that it is sad to see him leave but people need to stop going to extreme emotional behaviors. We all knew he was gonna leave either last year, this year or next summer anyway. If we retire the Lampard shirt, who will be the new Lampard for us?

Did we retire our shirts when the likes of Roy Bentley, Bobby Tambling retired...etc?

I agree.. Retiring numbers is a stupid thing in my opinion, especially numbers like 8.. There are much better ways to show our respect to our legends.

To you it may not be suitable to retire No. 8. To me, it´s to pay respect to the greatest player this club ever had.

Also, there is only one Lampard for me & I certainly do not want somebody else to replace my memory of him. Frank is & will be THE ONLY ONE FOR ME!

I hope the club doesn't do a Boulahrouz and give that number to just any ol' signing! I'd love for it to go to a youth player, but that's unrealistic I guess.

That´s why it would be better to hang in Chelsea´s cabinet.

In all other sports, the cream of the crop is honored. Why not at Chelsea?

Probably because it's not an iconic number per se. For example, I don't see us giving anyone Zola's "25" any time soon or upon him leaving, Terry's "26" because they're not your usual 1-20.. You can kind of excuse those.

1-11 especially is difficult, for marketing purposes among others.

Come on now. Today´s numbers are not from 1-11 plus. Players wear whatever they want. French players prefer 69, I read. Lol.

Players still have a preference though. I remember in the lead up to Mata signing for us Benayoun gave up the 10 shirt to give to Mata. Hazard's already professed his wanting of number 10 too. I read Neymar wanted it for Brazil from Oscar..
