Frank Lampard

[iseah100 5,612]

No-one's saying he should give up though, I would never suggest he should retire with us. When he signed with NYC, that was terrific.. He'd make a payday in America while also playing for a club in a league that would never affect us as Chelsea fans.

But when he then signs a loan deal, where he becomes eligible to play for a direct title rival? Surely, as a Chelsea fan, this must have some effect on you? He will be donning a City shirt and will play when he's called upon to win them points in the PL, CL etc.

You know what? Fuck it. If he plays for City and scores 10 goals while on loan and provides and handful of assists i'll be ecstatic. I hope he does well so we can see we made a mistake.

Ffs.

Oh it's a shit feeling but I can't bemoan a guy whose instincts to push himself at the highest level which gave me so much joy are still pushing him to compete at the highest level.

He hasn't retired from international football like a certain bottle-job so clearly he still thinks he can contribute and if he wants to be selected should he go and play in the A-League or the Champions League?

Would people have preferred he had gone to Liverpool? Arsenal (no chance)?

He's gone to a club who will keep him stronger for longer. I hope he doesn't contribute much but if he's the difference between us winning and losing the title then there's bigger problems.

This is a sarcastic post, right?

Hard to tell over the internet.

Pellegrini has a bone to pick with Mourinho, after he celebrated in the city dugout, watch him bring Frank on against us.

If.. 'if', it is just about training and running around a few cones, he can do that anywhere. JT would NEVER do this to us, he'd take the fans perspective, proper chels.

Maybe it's revenge for us using their colours in our training kit.

On the plus side, have you seen Man United trying to copy us with their new blue kit? Must get on Twitter and wind them up.

This has to be a joke for Christs sake. What the fuck are you doing Frank????

This is an ultimate "fuck you" message from City to Chelsea, for mistreating Lampard's departure. Lampard should've been given a testimonial match or a proper goodbye to him. Well now he isn't getting a testimonial.

Have you just decided?

[Special Juan 27,424]

Wish him all the best in America and City. He's still Chels and always will be, proper legend, proper Chels!!

"Whatever the next challenge is for me I will always be amongst you and have Chelsea in my home and in my heart. Hopefully I will get to see you all soon to say goodbye properly. In the meantime thank you for the memories and keep making history!"

So is this his idea of a "proper goodbye", making his last club in the Premier League our direct rival?

I'm sure there are quotes somewhere saying he would never play for another PL club.

This news is seriously pissing me off!! It's a job to him and apparently that's the only thing he's considering at the moment. How it affects him because he seriously can't be thinking of Chelsea and its fans because this is a kick to the teeth.

Yes. People thinking he will contribute big time to City are as deluded as City fans.

Wow.

Well now he isn't getting a testimonial.

Go to sleep.

Can we conduct another I.Q test on him?, might have been a mistake..

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Of all the English players in this world it had to be Frank to help City fill the homegrown quota. God I'm so pissed right now

[Term-X 7,891]

See, this is why Rio got it spot on, he went to relegation fodder, keeping his distance from United.

the thing is Frank isn't just some typical thick footballer; he's actually really intelligent so he'd definitely be aware of how us Chelsea fans would react which makes it more surprising.

I hope you're being sarcastic lol. But advocating Lampard for City isn't mindless to me, the club comes before the player. To the club, and the clubs fans, it feels like a betrayal to me.

Oh it's a shit feeling but I can't bemoan a guy whose instincts to push himself at the highest level which gave me so much joy are still pushing him to compete at the highest level.

Yeah that's fair enough and again I do understand him wanting to try and showcase his talents at the very top of his game. We won't know what happened between the club and him, in terms of receiving a contract. But I'm sure Roman & Mou didn't tell him he's not allowed back to train. In fact, even Mou said Roman assured Lampard he'd always have a place here... So why not train with us?

As for your last bit, he's contributing to their success over us whatever he does. That is already a problem imo.

So is this his idea of a "proper goodbye", making his last club in the Premier League our direct rival?

I'm sure he said that about joining QPR. He wouldn't "do that do the fans"..

I was thinking the same thing we are dealing with HG problems and Frank is helping City with theirs and he has "chelsea in his heart" .. Still love the guy but this does hurt some
