Frank Lampard

Let's not fool ourselves. It is never about "love" in professional football. He is a legend because he scored an unbelievable amount of goals, had an incredible number of great performances and won us a load titles not because he loved or pretended to love the club some much. He might very well have developed some affinity to the club, which he displayed e.g. by his friendly and honest communication with the fans and staying here despite offers from BArca, Real and INter. Yes he milked it and got a big contract by flirting with those clubs but that contract was no more than he deserved. But in the end his carreer and also his personal benefits were more important to him and that is totally fine. When you have been at a company for 10+ years and now your contract ends and you get a better offer from a rival company, you'd probably take it too.

The ones outraging about Lampard joining another club have probably been deluded by some imaginations of love. Love is seldom found in football. You, he is not the first club legend to join a rival club after they got no extension. He is a goal machine and a winner, which is why he is a legend and he has continued to be so and we seen that from the other side now. He has never been disloyal to us. Infact he has been loyal to us as long as he was our player. 13 years is a long time in modern football. He will return to the club, because he is a legend and will be loyal again. IN truth to most players football clubs are companies, employers. People very seldom love their employer, even if they have performed well for them for over 10 years.

You are comparing 'real world' employee situations with a footballer?, Oh dear. If you're going down that road you will have to be more specific about which type of job and role you are referring to. Because not many situations are comparable, unless Burger King has encorporated 44k seat stadia around the fryers.

People comparing this to a real life relationship betrayal is exactly the problem. Not sure why people are taking this so personally like he killed your family.

Relax fellas, go stress over some real world problems for once. I feel abit disappointed that he went to a rival as well, but the way some people here are talking really made it seem like they are crying and cutting themselves while typing.

I think the point is that it's an occupation for Lampard while for us football is recreational. So big decisions like these would probably be made by ourselves if football were that much more serious than entertainment. Again, it doesn't reduce the disappointment of the situation but it should really reduce the liverpoolness of this thread to be very honest.

No insults. To Frank or any Chelsea player or members here. Final warning.

Wouldn't it be best if this thread is closed for a while? People talking shit about Lamps, our greatest player everytime he scores a goal or plays well, that's unacceptable.

That is the deal with 'grudges' actually, we sit here in anger and ruin our day while their lives continue without a hitch. Taking a chill pill here is not for Lampard's sake but for their own.
