'Very difficult' to leave Chelsea. 'It was almost a relief to say it.

What does he mean?

[empire of emotions 247]

It should be, but unfortunately the number is too "small". Unlike 25 (Zola) and most likely 26 (Terry).

so what? it's not restricted like in spanish league to have numbers from 1 to 25.

If he's actually signing for NYC, which starts in March 2015.. Couldn't we have signed him on a temporary contract until then?

Hard to imagine someone else playing in the #8 shirt at Chelsea. God, I'm gonna miss Super Frank at Chelsea.

My footballing hero and an absolute legend.

Typically, Adrian Durham is using Frank's departure to take a swipe at JT and the club

Zolayes,

How dare you doubt talksports?

Don't you know, it's an English institution on football? Lol.

Better his testimonial being fuckin epic. Deserves a season full of testimonials tbf.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Drogba Lampard and Cole all deserve to play together once again.

[DoubleO 192]

If we would've kept Lampard, the media would say "the team is too old". But now when we let him go, they blame José and the board .

LAMPARD: VERY PROUD

'It was strange to hear the statement down the phone, talking to people back home yesterday,' he said. 'It is quite strange when it is said out loud, I have to say, because it has been such a huge part of my life.

'That is kind of tough to an extent, but I am a big boy and I understand things move on.

Yes, I'm proud. I'm proud to have been at a fantastic club, a club I went to quite wet behind the ears from West Ham and the club completely took me in.'

During his time as a Chelsea player Lampard helped us to three Premier League titles, the Champions League, Europa League, four FA Cups and two League cups, memories he will treasure for a very long time.

'I am proud of nights like Munich,' said the 35 year old. 'They will stay with me forever and, like I said in the statement, I will always have a lot of Chelsea in me. I'll be back at games.'

In the eyes of many Chelsea supporters Lampard is the greatest player to pull on the blue shirt, and the kind words he has received since making his announcement have left him full of pride.

'I had a bundle of texts last night from people I've met along the way - Chelsea fans, friends, my family - and that made me feel very proud, I have to say.'

Thinking (hoping) that the number 8 will be unofficially retired for a few years.

Dont understand this mentality. What difference does it make? And do you think Lampard gives a shit?

I really wouldn't mind either way but it'd just be a nice tribute, that's all.
