Frank Lampard

Conversely there are a few absolutely classic posts in here, almost as good as that post by Term X saying Mourinho is dead to him and that we never won back-to-back titles. RAWK-worthy.

Classic! Thanks for reminding.

People are allowed to be sad over it. But there's being sad over it, and then there's certain people acting like Frank was the guy who shot JFK. It's the people going to such extremes which make this thread pretty hilarious tbh, there are some well thought-out and rational posts in here demonstrating why some people are disappointed, and I accept and respect that.

I agree that there are some extreme views obviously, never denied that. My point was however that those were in the minority, and that it's unfair to make a generalisation that basically insinuates that everyone that's disappointed and not happy about the move called him Judas, when that's far from the truth. As you've said, there are many well thought, rational opinions on here and it's unfair to label them like that.

wtf! is he serious?

Man, you're late to the party, lol.

My personal Chelsea legend always has been Michael Ballack so I don't feel that hurt. However, Lampard wearing the 'Superbia in Proelia' badge just doesn't look right.

wtf man, aren't you ban or something!!!

I'm sure you can express your feelings better. You don't have to be sarcastic or patronising. Understand that Lamps is someone a lot of people are emotionally connected to so naturally people will be disappointed. You're just over exaggerating with your Judas satire, as if that's the general consensus on here. But it's not.

Not the general consensus?

One post on the whole page. My point exactly.

I'm sure you can see quite a few other members, and I don't have to quote all the drivel to you really.

My point is that it isn't the majority.

Indeed, Mourinho 'would' have been "dead to me" if he had gone to United, I stand by that 'hypothetical/taken out of context' comment.

Unfortunately though, this is reality. I just hope 'proper chels' JT never imitates how Fraud-Lampard has conducted himself since leaving.

It is funny how people started to be so attached to football players, they start to rage when things like this happen. Lampard loved Chelsea as much as we love our phone, for example if we were just a Southampton and Roman never bought us, while Lampard still had that world class form and lets say MU came in with 30m bid, would he wants to leave some where in 2004-2007 when he were one of the best player in the world and we were some mid table team like Soton? Probably...

Chelsea players loyalty is overrated in a sense that we were one of the club around that challenges consistently for top honors every season and pay good money for players, they don't leave us not because of 'love, loyalty' or any other cringe worthy ideas fans come up with, they do it because they know this is one of the very best stop for their career and only around 3-4 clubs are better.

Now Lampard leaves us, but City/New York is paying him 100k+ per week with the request that he plays for City, he obviously will accept it because it is professional. There is no such thing as 'love' when taking this into consideration, the only reason he requested not to be playing against us(rumor) is because of the respect he has for the club and the fan, this is not love.

The sooner you guys see players as nothing but employees of the club the better you will be able to enjoy it. Hazard or any of our top players doesn't 'love' the club, they will eventually leaves/be sold and then never be mentioned/associated with Chelsea again. It doesn't matter if they are banging in 30 goals for a couple of years. For example Suarez now, does Liverpool fans still love him or are most coming out with insults for him now he fucked them over again(after last summer). He also admitted he 'loved' Liverpool.

You know what is true love for the club? players like Matt Le Tissier...etc. Top players who could have played for top teams but chosen to remain with their mediocre clubs.

One of the greatest things I've ever seen a Chelsea player do. The emotion in that moment....phenomenal.

[bababoom 4,478]

At first i was confused and pretty disappointed but right now i couldn't give a toss, i admit it's going to be weird seeing him in a City shirt but it's only a loan, i doubt he'll play much.

Every time I watch that I always wish that fucking steward was somewhere else

Agree with the most part, but even Le Tis had an ulterior motive and that was because his folks were in Guernsey

Hope he scores the winner on Sunday.

[Beigl 1,387]

It is disappointing for sure, it won't ever feel right to see him in that shade of blue. But some of the reactions here has been over the top.

a 6 month loan will not change his 13 years of service to this club. For me at least.

Spot on!

Some were against the selling of Mata but are ok with Lampard joining city? Get back to the plastic factory please.
