Frank Lampard

[Special Juan 27,424]

The way some of you are carrying on you would think he had pissed on your Xmas dinner.

[The Skipper 20,593]

To be honest, Term has a right to be questioning all this - I mean sure Lamps is the biggest legend, but surely he must've thought about his comments just 12 months ago when he said that he wouldn't play for any PL club? It just seems very odd. For me it won't tarnish his legacy but that doesn't mean I'm happy with it... Mourinho did say Frank is welcome back whenever - a 6 month loan to help support the squad and keep his fitness up here is surely better than the City option? Our league rivals? We have space for him in our squad as well, it's not like he'll take up a foreign spot.

I'm trying to see it from Frank's perspective and he probably thinks they'll offer him more playing time (which isn't even true IMO - I think we'd offer similar minutes to them), but is it worth it? Is it worth seeing the majority of CFC fans unhappy (you have to be kidden yourself if you're happy about it) and being taunted by Man City fans (they will definitely taunt us) just for the sake of a 6 month loan spell that he'd probably get here as well? I don't know...

It's a shame because I thought Lamps is the biggest legend here, even more so than JT, but this does make me question that slightly. Is he more of a legend than JT for me if this goes through? Maybe not anymore, but he'd certainly still be up there obviously. I mean, even Drogba and Ashley sidestepped the PL for our sakes. It's a real odd one. Not going to lie, I would be a lot happier if this didn't go through...

Move on people. Watch a youtube video to refresh your memory of what this player has done for us.

No need to get so bitter just because he's agreed to a loan move to City. The only reason behind the loan move is because he wants to continue playing at the highest level and I am glad he chose the MLS instead of signing for another premier league club. He could have easily gone to QPR(which could have been far worse) where he could have teamed up with his uncle and continued to live in London.

Also its quite clear that he still wants to play for England.

If he really wants to keep up his fitness he can come and join Chelsea, instead of Man fucking City

we wouldnt renew his contract

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

we wouldnt renew his contract

But Mou came out and said he was offered a contract extension, besides I dont think the club will refuse a loan for him 4 abt 6 months

There is also a cross-section of Chelsea fans who will convince themselfs it's all ok, and try to rationalise it..

It's not in our control, so let's choose to be happy about it 'type of mentality'.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Not true, numerous reports and Mourinho himself said that we did offer him (and Ash) a new contract.

[The Chels 2,502]

we wouldnt renew his contract

Why do you keep spouting this BS?

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Jose also said he would not sell Mata.

[Term-X 7,891]

The whole ordeal just makes me respect Drogba & Ash even more, for how they conducted themselfs with class after leaving as legends.

[The Chels 2,502]

Jose also said he would not sell Mata.

So as not to decrease his transfer value. What would Mourinho have to gain by lying here?

[The Skipper 20,593]

Jose also said he would not sell Mata.

Why would Jose lie about offering players contracts......

I know this might be difficult for you but other peoples opinions differ from yours and others.

The whole 'we didn't offer him a contract so it's fine' is definitely an example of people trying to rationalise the move.

Forget the fact of anything to do with a new contract with Chelsea, this move with him to City does not bother me at all.

Frank has gone, that means he is free to do as he chooses, and if that means City then fine, he's a footballer, he wants to play football…….no arguments from me.

How much football will he actually play though? City's midfield is stacked. Toure, Fernandinho, Fernando, Javi Garcia, Jack Rodwell and even Milner could all be ahead of him.

[Term-X 7,891]

He's not a footballer, Salomon Kalou is a footballer. Frank-Fucking-Lampard is Chelsea personified.
