Frank Lampard

[Madmax 9,219]

What absolute fucking horseshit bollocks.

Frank Lampard is a snake.

[laeth 527]

Lampard’s arrival at City was a surprise given the statement he made on 27 July on “joining” NYCFC. “I didn’t want to play anywhere else in England because I had been so affiliated with one club,” he said. “So it made sense for me to move.”

How could he say that, knowing he was going to City? What a doucebag.

[Mission 97]

Nope. Never gonna happen. This City thing will be remembered.

Would you like anymore salt on your chips?

Manchester City admit Frank Lampard never signed two-year deal with NYCFC

do you guys expect some kind of punishment for city after this?

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

do you guys expect some kind of punishment for city after this?

Nope, if it is Chelsea, then the answer is yes.

[bethos1 802]

Fuck him, I didn't mind him being loaned to City from New York but lieing about this wtf fuck him, he lost my respect

I stated you cannot say he is selfish for refusing to allow Drogba to take the penalty. I get the other Lampard abuse etc but when you are clutching at straws to prove your point, it comes across silly. Anyway I think that thread proves who the majority agree with.

Here we go again, when you are losing an argument you tend to get personal.

I will reiterate my point again for the n^th time. "Lampard is a selfish person." That was what I said and I stand by it. You opened up a thread about Hazard and Costa trying to prove that Lampard is not selfish. Not you are trying to say what? That Lampard is not selfish for taking a pk away from Drogba, but he is selfish for lying about his transfer to City. Make up your mind and stop flip flopping. The question is is he selfish or not selfish? Its a yes or no question. You are beginning to sound like a City employee. Btw: Here are the facts from CITY, they are direct quotes.

A series of points released to the media today by City are summarised as follows:

* The statement on the NYCFC website in July saying Lampard's two-year contract took effect from Aug 1, 2014 was a mistake.

* The Initial statement on the Manchester City website that it was a loan was also an error.

*.There was never a break clause in Lampard's contract dated 31 December. The short-term contract with City only ran to Dec 31 and has now been extended.

* There was a 'head of terms commitment' from Lampard to join NYCFC from Jan 1, 2015. That was extended to the end of this season.

* Any contract with NYCFC will now take effect from July 1, 2015.

Guys, it's not a loophole and it's not illegal. Let me break down how it happened and why you and others are confused:

On December 31st, City and Frank removed the break clause in his one year contract with City thus allowing him to stay in Manchester till the end of the season. The already upset NYFC fans got even more upset when the BBC revealed that he never even had a contract with them and went looking for proof, only to find that he was never registered in the wage bill for NYFC to begin with.

So, to try and save some face, the MSL and the NYFC claimed that he had signed for the MC franchise (the company that owns both teams) and that he was loaned by it to City. But the EPL does not allow third-party ownership and came investigating at City only to find out that Frank had signed with City, the club, from the beginning so there was no infringement of EPL rules.

All City did was sign a (devious) free agent on a season long contract. The rest of the charade was simply a publicity stunt to sell some NYFC season tickets and Lampard shirts and for Frank to try to preserve his public image and marketability.

"It's not so easy because Frank is a New York City player. He is only on loan until December 31, so we must respect the other people."

What am I missing here? Manuel Pellegrini had that to say on the 31st? Did he not get the memo?

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Quoted in the Guardian, City said: "The statement on the NYCFC website in July saying Lampard's two-year contract took effect from Aug 1, 2014 was a mistake. [The] initial statement on City's website that it was a loan was also an error.

"There was a head of terms commitment from Lampard to join NYCFC from Jan 1, 2015. That was extended to the end of this season. Any contract with NYCFC will now take effect from July 1, 2015."

LOL

I am getting personaly by stating "it comes across as silly"? That is hardly personal. You are not a baby are you? Yes, maybe Lampard is a selfish person. I never disputed that. I disputed the fact that you were using the Wigan game as evidence to prove he is selfish. That is why I said you are 'clutching at straws'. I opened up that thread to see what other fans would have expected Lamps to do and guess what the majority agreed with me. So let me reiterate, accusing Lamps of being selfish is one thing. But stating that the Wigan game proved how selfish he was is riduculous and silly imo. I don't no why you believe because I said it was silly, that I am being personal. That is how it comes across to me.

Read the thread and you will realise that people actually thought Lampard was in the right and Drogba in the wrong but because Lampard hurt a lot of our fans, you are using anything to have a dig at him. The penalty situation regarding Drogba is poor example.

You are still clutching at straws. If you are the so called grown up, then admit when you are wrong. He's selfish period end of story. All these You said he was selfish because of a Wigan game is ludicrous. He pulled the same stunt with Di Canio too. I guess he must have been a better PK taker than DiCanio way back then, or you are going to tell us he was the designated pk taker then too. Nonsense!

You went and opened up a thread and manufactured stuff, that were never discussed in the original thread, trying to mislead people. Where in the original thread did we discuss about Hazard and Costa? That particular example had some implications, because Drogba had a chance to win a league award with one goal difference. It was never about who was better at taking pks or whether to let anyone just walk up and take pks. You wanted to manipulate people into taking your perspective. That thread was never about my premises, so you can have it to your self. I'm not going to partake in a deliberate lie and or manipulations.

You deliberately misled people with those individuals to make people agree with you. You are no different than the City employees. Anyone and everyone that read my post knew that was an example of his selfish ways. My point is and again for the last time. He is "Selfish" admit it or move on. Be the grown up that you are trying to claim to be and admit that you were wrong and still wrong Stop beating around the bush.

[samzilla 517]

Frank Lampard? More like Fake Lampard, amirite!

Lmao at all those "mistakes" in announcements from NYCFC and Man City. Clear shenanigans went on. Clear backpedaling going on now. Fucking joke. Mou can't say the truth about a ref who made a clear and obvious blunder against his own linesman's advice who had a better view, but City can do whatever shady business they want so long as the oil money keeps rolling in. Fuck off City, fuck off FA, fuck off Lampard.

I used the case of Hazard and Costa because they are current Chelsea players. Hazard our prime penalty taker and Costa our top goalscorer. So I made a debate about a similar scenario. Anyway I clearly linked that to the Lampard/Drogba situation to create more room for discussion and even then people said Lampard was in the right and Drogba was in the wrong. Look, we are some what pissed at Lampard. I feel sorry for NYCFC in all of this the most tbh but stop trying to use ridiculous examples to back up your point. It is obvious that we are not going to agree on this.

You clearly think that the player is bigger than the club. I think the club comes before the player and that is why I think Drogba was the seflish one, you think Lampard was. Everyone or the majority of Chelsea fans know Lampard was in the right there. And no that is not an example of Lampard's selfish ways, that is nonsense.

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Nope. Never gonna happen. This City thing will be remembered.

Didn't say it wouldn't did I? In 50 years, people will remember Lampard as a Premier League and Chelsea football club legend more so than his his transfer to City.

Christ almighty some of the comments on here make me want to bang my head in.
