dont get other peoples dislike for him as a person he's hardly ever in the news or anything.Hard to judge someone on only what you read in a paper which is bound to be made dramatic...

Anyho glad he got there!!!!Hope we dont let him go!Be daft to and very sad if we do...

Actually I called Rami an idiot for getting sent off. He reacted badly to the situation he was in.

Which Man United game? Not the one we were 2-0 down in before we took Lamps off and replaced him with Mikel?

We lost is because their midfield worked harder than our's, simple as that. The same thing happened at Southampton too.

Ashley? If you're going to blame a centre-back, why not blame Azpi who was closer to the play? It was a bad team goal to concede, but the double pivot requires greater workrate. Maybe I'm being harsh on him, and I accept that.

Of course he'd be back when EVERYONE was defending. That's not typical play though so it's hard to take much from it. If you look at the second goal, Luiz wins the ball back and it finds it's way to Mata who then lays it off to Lamps, but that goal is all about a moment of genius from Hazard. You can't absolve Lamps of blame because 'the team' wasn't working hard enough and then not give them credit for doing well for the goal.

Like I said, I'll trust Mourinho's judgment when it comes to Lamps, but I think our future lies elsewhere for that position. Nothing changes the fact he's a legend that I consider myself lucky to have seen from his first game to possibly his last. People who want to make out I'm a 'Lampard hater' really can go fuck themselves.

I dont understand why you still want to get rid of him. One of the main reasons why people thought he should leave, was the fact he had so much power, and the managers were using him as a starting XI even when he was bad. He accepted the squad player role this season, and while his vintage performances belongs to the past, he has been pretty decent and he has 15 goals.

You love stats, so why not keep a "squad player" who can score 15 goals in a season? and he is not a mere squad player, he is Frank Lampard, the real Mr. Chelsea, after all.

Fair enough .... Had not thought of it like that actually.

I don't. I'd love Frank to stay forever. He's a legend.

But I don't know if Frank the player is the best fit for this team. Yes you can point to yesterday, Stoke away, Everton away and maybe Swansea at home as classic Frank performances, but he used to put them in every week.

I accept there's a case for that being enough to offer him a new contract.

I really don't love stats, but I think they have their place. Does what we gain from having him in the squad make us better as a team, or are there other options out there? Yesterday was the classic example - we struggled in midfield but he scored two goals.

As long as he'd be willing to take a wage decrease I'd be more than happy to let him stay. What shouldn't be acceptable, however, is that he stays for another year on 150 thousand quid (or whatever the number is) a week. Just because he's been a legend at this club does not entitle him to an extraordinarily high wage. Don't get me wrong, he's an invaluable squad player and his contribution is excellent (on and off the pitch), but his performances certainly do not justify keeping him on £150,000 per week.
