I feel sorry for Lamps. He is trully love us.

I am as disappointed as some of you here, knowing that he is joining City on loan, but no doubt his heart is still in Chelsea wherever he goes.

Super Frank will always be a Chelsea Legend.

He says that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to play against us.

[Namika 922]

We offered a contract extension to Ash and JT, no way Frank didn't get one.

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

He could of easily turned down the chance to sign for another EPL club but he didn't

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Easily turn down a club when he plays for another club that's owned by the said club? #clubception

He says that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to play against us.

And rightly so, he's a professional footballer who has a job to do.

[tiby2979 175]

And rightly so, he's a professional footballer who has a job to do.

A job that he accepted voluntarily.

[Special Juan 27,429]

A job that he accepted voluntarily.

Makes little difference at all, he isn't a Chelsea player and it's his choice who he plays for.

People need to start drying their eyes and quickly.

And?

You can't reap the rewards of a man's professionalism and celebrate it for 13 years then criticise him for those very same qualities when he leaves.

If you don't care to see a legend of your club play for a rival club, i congratulate you. Others aren't so pragmatic.

He will always be a legend, and as quick as I embraced him here I have let him go and wish him the best.

City or no City his legacy lives on at Chelsea and it will never ever be tainted IMO.

I don't understand what clubception is...but from what i've read, he had offers outside of Manchester City's affiliate club

and the affiliated club is the one that accepts.

Frank Lampard admits he would still be a Chelsea player had a contract extension been put to him at Stamford Bridge.

Lampard told The Sun: “I would have obviously stayed if Chelsea had offered me another year. There was no reason for me to leave.

“Yes, I wanted to play a bit more regularly but I’m not stupid.

“If Chelsea had given me a new contract it would have been mad not to take it at the time.

“It wasn’t that I didn’t think I could still do it. If I felt like that I wouldn’t have gone to City on loan.

“I had a chat with Jose Mourinho and both he and the club were always great with me. The decision was made – and I don’t know who made it.”

He added: “When we won the Champions League I knew there would be some sort of evolution. Chelsea wanted to bring in some younger players and it was the right move for the club.

“We had a fantastic spine of players who helped carry us through from one manager to another and win things, but it doesn’t last forever.

“Jose was brilliant about it. I didn’t walk out with any bad feelings towards him or the club.

“I knew things were coming to a head but I’m realistic and, in football, I move on quite quickly.

“I also felt like I didn’t want to be a player who faded away – with that being the last memory people had of me.

“So maybe it was the right time. Maybe it was right that the club took it out of my hands.

“I certainly didn’t want to go until I was 40 and just being rolled out for the Capital One Cup after the great times I had at the club.

“What I really want now is to make a really positive impact in my time at Manchester City and then again in the next stage of my career.”
