Frank Lampard

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Wasn't he on vacation in LA like majority of English players?

Yup I read he was on vacation too before this "story". Disgusting what how the media would shamelessly lie just to sell a story.

I follow the Galaxy a little because it's my hometown MLS team. The Galaxy already have 3 DPs which they use for higher salaries, ie Beckham. Each team only has 3 so there's no way they could pay Frank unless they dump one of the 3 DPs, maybe Keane. The average MLS salary is 5 figures unless you're a DP.

Lamps to San Jose...Your heard it here first. Also Tortilla9, the gals are the 'quakes BEETCHESS!!! Bow down to Nor Cal!!!

I'm trying to see Frank and Christine in San Jose and can't see it happening. Does San Jose have papparazzi (sp?)?

Regarding Galaxy and San Jose, barking up the wrong tree here. I don't have enough invested in it to fight this one. I go to maybe one game a year primarily because the daughter loves Beckham. Never been a big Donovan fan and Robbie Keane.... please.

On that note, what the hell was wrong with Becks last week? It definitely appeared his panties were in a bunch over the GB snub and he took it out on the field.

Its a Nor Cal vs So Cal thing. I am sure that the fans were pissing off Becks & the GB thing was on his mind. Then the gals lose to the 'quakes??? I am sure it was too much for him to handle & he snapped in extra time I will give him props on that goal. That was an excellent taken free kick & the technique was superb.

Would Lampard really go to America? what about Christine's tv career over here? what about his Daughters? considering all of these, it seems unlikely.

[Tortilla9 390]

Becks technique is insanely ridiculously good. Even that kick from the sideline that hit the player on the ground. My daughter said "that's pretty accurate". When you watch him in person you see how good his crosses and delivery are. Ignoring the ridiculous hair, how slow he is, his technique is still crazy good.

& the fact he fights w/ his own fans & the opposing team's mascot xD

At least he and Frank looked like they were having a good time in the AEG box last night.

Sell him, then we can actually get someone to go into to the double pivot who can actually control the tempo of the game and start the attacks from midfield. And we would not have the risk of Lampard moaning and complaining to the media and Roman because he keeps getting dropped. Should get a bit of money even if he is 34 and and slow as fuck, both physically and mentally.

Totally disagree w/ your statement there. Maybe sides like spudz or le arse sell their Legends, but I don't want CFC to. Supa is a Legend & I am one of the many that would love to see Supa break the CFC scoring record.

“There’s nothing in that at all.

“I’m here in Los Angeles on holiday with Christine (Bleakley).

“We got engaged here last year and we love it over here.

“Steve’s over here a lot on music and football business, he organised a box, so we could go to see the Galaxy game.

“Becks was suspended for the match, so he came and sat with us and we had a good laugh, that’s all.

“Now I’m really looking forward to getting back to Chelsea. I’m feeling fit and fresh and I’m raring to go.

“My thigh strain is completely healed now and maybe missing the Euros was a blessing in disguise for me.

“I had a full summer off and I’m ready to go back to start the hard work for the new season.

“We’ve more to look forward to with the Super Cup and World Club Championships.”

Lampard on AVB:

Lampard believes Villas-Boas may have learned from adversity and may now be a better boss for it.

He said: “AVB didn’t do well at Chelsea but it was not for the want of anyone trying.

“He wanted to succeed, he wanted to do it his way. But it just didn’t work.

“Not because of any battle between me and him, there was a lot more to it than that.

“He had his plans for the team and that meant me not playing as much as before.

“That was just one part of it, the problems were far bigger and broader than that.

“But as a player you learn off every manager whether they are good, bad or indifferent. I definitely learned in different ways from Andre. It was an interesting time.

“I was always used to having a great relationship with my managers. Everyone I had worked previously with.

“Not having that suddenly made it pretty tough for me at the time.

“It makes you stop and think, it makes you re-evaluate everything you are doing.

“That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

“Now maybe he will be a better manager, a better person for his experience at Chelsea.”

Lampard, 34, certainly expects Villas-Boas to be doubly keen to try and take revenge on his former club when the two teams meet in the new season.

But the Blues hero says he will be working just as hard to make sure Chelsea have the last laugh.

He confessed: “Yes, AVB now being at Spurs will give those derby games even more of an edge.

“They are pretty edgy anyway but this will add even more.

“When I see him I’ll shake his hand and wish him all the best. But then I will try my best to beat him.”
