Frank Lampard

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Manu does not need lampard. People said their meidfield is shit. It's their dm that is bad. They have 2-3 great/good passer in carrick/scholes. They have one upcoming box to box in cleverly. They have anderson and fletcher that they can throw in there. Why do they need lampard

Cos he would improve them. Even if they do not desperately need him, he would still be a great signing. As we would be worse without him, they would be better with him. Simple as that.

Tell me, which of these random facts you listed there has anything to do with the debate?

It does not matter how many midfielders they got. They lack goals and quality in the centre. We also got shitloads of CAMs. Nonetheless Marin or Piazon make us any better.

Lamps is 34. however. giggs and scholes were about as old in 2008. Both played and won the CL final that. year. So again, irrelevant.

They might lack goals from midfield, but they've scored 54 goals in the league this season which I think I'm right in saying is the most in the league. If you actually talk to United supporters who know what they're talking about, they'll tell you that what they're lacking in midfield is a more defensively-minded presence especially since the absence of Fletcher.

Lamps will be 35 and I don't know if he directly addresses a specific need of United's squad.

Thats why I want managerial longevity.If we had Jose or Carlo still with us,I am sure the manager would have tried his best to keep one of the clubs best players.There needs to be a special bond and connection between the manager,players and fans.Benitez is least bothered because he's not a real part of the club and will be leaving soon.

Rafa Benitez is just concerned about winning trophies for the sake of his own reputation and nothing else.

Boys , I am wondering why we don't protest as a fans again the desicion Lampard to leave us in the summer ? I mean if 80% of the fans who are at the stadium every mach protest think that will have an effect . I am not in England and can't do anything . But If the Englisg fans decide to do somethink I think that will have an effect . At least some of the important fans could sit down and talk with the main board and tell them what we want as a fans . It will be huge mistake if Lampard and Cole leave us . For hell , just look United - Gigs , Scoles or Maldini , Nesta , Indzaghi , Casillas , Raul and more and more players . If we as a fans don't find a way to make the board offer Lampard new contract nobody will can . But if we didn't do something we will regret till the end of our lifes . We've got the key !!

This. Manu has never been a team who depend on their midfield to score. They have always been a

wing based team. They need a runner to accompany scholes/carrick and a 35 years old mid is not the answer.

Fiorentina + Lazio both want to sign him.

I like the sentiment and in theory it sounds good but i really doubt it would have any affect. If we thought there was a chance we could convince anyone to give lampy a deal then everyone would but i just don't see it in the slightest... Just look at recent history.

First things first, not all fans want Lampard at Chelsea.

I think everyone wants him at the club one way or another, but if the club and Lamps cant agree for a new contract and if lampard cant accept being more of a rotational player then i think its time for him to go. I hope we atleast try to keep him but if leaves then he leaves. We have to move one, but he will always be a legend in this club.

If somebody don't want Lampard in Chelsea , he/she is not true blue fan . Here in Bulgaria if the fans disagree with the main board about some important desicion they protest and most of the time there is an effect . Just look the people in Greece . I know that is different but If we don't try we couldn't know what will happen . Just image that the board will listen the fans and offer Lamprad a new contract...We have to show that we want this player in the club at any price

One last time. It has nothing to do with Lamps agreeing pay cut or being only a squad player or all this BS.

"Chelsea executives told Frank in Japan during the Club World Cup then again reconfirmed with me after the Everton victory that in no circumstances will he be offered a new contract to stay at the club after the end of this season.

Is this 100% reliable? I actually read it before but cant belive it!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I really am comfortable with saying goodbye to Lampard this season. Yea, it will be emotional, it will be heartbreaking.. But he has an opportunity to go elsewhere and play more football than he would here even if Chelsea did offer him a contract.

You might as well accept it folks. There's f*ck all the club can do, perhaps this may turn out to be a good decision is success does come our way next season. The media circus et al, could easily end with a statement from the Club confirming he's leaving. Stops the media from dragging this one - bet they're having a great laugh writing day-in, day-out about reasons, uturn faux-stories, etc.

[Shane 2,275]

Between RDM being sacked and the treatment of Lampard, the soul is being taken out of this club fast.

Did United just tell Scholes and Giggs to fuck off when they were 33? Did Liverpool tell Gerrard?

Its disgraceful and makes me embarrased to be a Chelsea fan.
