MADEZ 9 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I surely knows the moment lamps leaves for another club some people on this forum will swallow back their comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 We will chant is name every game regardless of goals... He doesn't even have to be on the pitch.Well the fans did sing Torres's name when he was on the bench! So can't see why we can't do the same for one of the club's best players.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 This will be another case of the 'Drogba Myth'. Didier left a legend but there were times when he was absolutely lambasted by the majority of Chelsea supporters for insipid and lethargic performances, particularly in Carlo's second season. If you want an example, read the topics in the aftermath of the Marseille UCL game from 2010/11 when we lost 0-1 away. The same will happen with Lampard, who will leave the best player this club has ever had, but if you were going by this topic, you'd rank him as worse than Torres judging by the sort of comments you can read in this thread.Laughable, really.

Most people will say that 7 years ago he was one of the best midfielders in the world. 5 years ago he was our most important player. Even last year he played an important role, but we weren't that great last year. Even this year people cite the Everton game as an example of his importance based solely on the fact he scored two goals in that game. Now that's great, but do we want to spend next season playing like we did against Everton?We got lucky in that game. We were completely overrun in the first half-hour by a team with two important players out. Lamps has done well to play in a deeper role but that simply isn't his game. It never has been. That's the reality of the situation with him. He simply doesn't suit our style of football as well as other players might. The position he made his own - IT DOESN"T EXIST.And now his presence isn't going to be a positive one for the rest of the season in my opinion because the atmosphere at the Bridge is fucking toxic. I'm not going to get many likes for saying that it might be better if we sold him before the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I suppose the same can be said on other threads such as the torres thread, as all fans (in general) seem to either be at one extreme or the other with little in between.

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Does this really need another topic?Considering the whole AVB fiasco, I'm pretty sure he will not be renewing his contract and wants to get rid of his influence in the dressing room for the new manager to be able to stamp his authority better.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I usually like Dan Levene and find some of his musings and articles to be insightful and thought-provoking but this is just a poor letter.He spends much of it telling us what Frank did do and what he represents to the fans and very little (if any) explaining where he fits into the squad next year. Yes we have an emotional attachment with Lamps, but my emotional attachment to the club is far greater and I think we're better next year with other players filling his position.

FRANK LAMPARD IS IRREPLACABLE... fact... oscar might go on to become a great player but never like lamps... true legend...Rarely do you see a player that has been so good for a club 'replaced' by anyone. Another player has to step up, adapt, and will bring different qualities.Arsenal didn't replace Henry. United didn't replace Ronaldo. Liverpool didn't replace Alonso. We didn't replace Drogba.

But there are possibly options out there (and at the club) who can be better in the style of football we're going to play going forward.

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 According to me,he was the best player on the pitch.He showed great vision and was always calm defensively and offensively.Unlucky not to score a hat trick today,their keeper made some terrific saves.

But there are possibly options out there (and at the club) who can be better in the style of football we're going to play going forward.but we get too 1-dimensional... towards the start of the match, we were doing what we do best, give mata and hazard the ball and hope they create magic... when these guys found the going tough lamps took it on himself. he did what a deep lying play maker should do perfectly, i dont think any1 can do that... for me the club has already invested in midfield (mikel,oscar,kdb,rambo,romeu plus josh), i dont think the club is gonna buy some1 for 20-30 mil, so they must believe that some1 at the club is ready to step up (probably oscar) and for me he has miles to go...even if we go out and buy some1 to replace frank then i believe it would cost way more than frank's wages for a year, hence for me the solution is simple - GIVE LAMPS HIS CONTRACT.
