Frank Lampard

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Thing is Lampard won't be playing, he's only there to be an HG player. Then again he has no choice. He cannot say no even if he wanted to because the owners of Manchester City technically own New York as well. Can't believe that people can hate him for that.

There are so many decisions that Frank got wrong. The fact he signed with NYFC, a club owned by the same owners of our direct rivals and also him going to City instead of Melbourne. I still definitely respect him obviously. Unlike Lampard, players like Ashley Cole, Drogba played for non-English teams which was the best the fans could ask for.

In a sense it's a reminder of how lucky we are. Arsenal have the prospect of a 27 year old Fabregas playing against them, whereas we face legends when they're 35/36. Liverpool lose Suarez, Spurs lose Bale, but we don't tend to lose players in their prime if we still want them.

Yeah, losing stars in their prime is so much worse. After watching this video, I felt about hundred times better:

Sucks to be an Arsenal fan.

Love how some are saying "well, he's being forced to go there", no.. he isn't, when he 'decided' to join Man-City's american side he knew the implications of that.

Even Ashley Cole has more class than Lampard, he said he wouldn't join another PL club and he had plenty of interest, Liverpool etc. Ironic that, considering what Ash is known for..

Ashley Cole left Arsenal, the team he came up with, in the middle of his career because he wanted more money. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but you can't say he's a super loyal player or any other nonsense just because he didn't play in the EPL after leaving Chelsea. It's incredible to me how blind supporters are. It doesn't go one way. You can't demand loyalty of players and then get rid of them when you want. Lampard has a chance to play for the Premier League champions who are you to say "no, you can't because you used to play for Chelsea." We let him go. We didn't want him anymore. He can play wherever he damn well pleases. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Of course he won't play against us lol why would he start over Toure & Fernandinho? Christ.

He is Chelsea, an ambassador for the club, synonymous with us, once you become that.. you will rightfully be treated differently.

So why do we have the right not to re-sign him but he doesn't have the right to go where he wants? It's like saying to a worker "you were a model employee for 20 years but we are firing you but you can't go to any rival companies".

Why are people so sure Lampard won't play much? Yaya could play as the number 10 next season, which leaves them with Fernandinho and Fernando in the pivot and Lampard and Garcia as back ups. Fernando could struggle to adapt in the PL and also the fact he is bang average could easily see Lampard playing a lot more then People think.

Chelsea is bigger than the board, or current circumstances.

And a comparison like that is ridiculous, it's like Setve Jobs going to Microsoft, Lampard is a huge part of the clubs identity. Lampard & Terry are the last of their kind, we won't have legends like that at the club again, it's the end of a bygone era.

It's weird that Lampard wanted to join City even if it's ony a loan, but come on how can this tarnish his legacy at this club? In 5, 10 or even 20 years time do you think we'll fucking remember that Lampard trained with them for a few months?

It's not like Steve Jobs going to Microsoft. He was a founder of the company and the CEO. Lampard was an employee. Yes, he is the best player we've ever had, but WE, not him, decided to let him go. You don't have the right either legally or morally to expect loyalty when you don't give that same loyalty. Lampard was given the chance to play for the Premier League champions. What should he do? Say "no" because some Chelsea fans don't want him to go there?
