And Lampard has spent more than them

not inflation-adjusted though.

He did not spend that much in today's market esp considering we did not spend in the previous summer window.

We also went for younger players with lots of potential. That's what most on here wanted.

Take that with a grain of salt.

Apparently, today we would've spent 60-70 million on SWP vs 21 million back in 2005.

we only spent (net) huge (before this past summer) twice

Romans first two years

Franks net spend this year, even adjusted for inflation, is the biggest net in the history of the club

the poster is wrong

and T-Markt adjusts for inflation

Franks net spend this summer alone was the best net spend in club history,

Roman's first two years where the only ones close

But if we just count the spending and not the sales, then I believe only Mourinho has spent more than Lampard here?

gross spend not even close

the only gross spend (and that counts January as well) bigger was  17/18

but we sold a shedload too

[Vesper 30,085]

if we spend £13m or more in January, it will be the biggest gross spend as well

[DANILA 290]

We should absolutely not go for Rice considering Lampard has no idea what he's doing (buying him because he's the next young english player) and he'll be minimum $70mm. IMO Lampard should not be given any more funds, but some of the technical personnel should buy who they think would solidify out approach to top 4. Hope/think FL will be out sooner rather than later 

[ZaynChelsea 423]

ManU won against Wolves. Top 4 is getting more and more difficult for the No.1 spending club in Europe. 
If the excuse of a coach in our dugout got some kind of dignity, he should resign. He is destroying our club.

Ole would be getting a lot of stick for Lampard‘s results. We got an idiot as our manager.

[Azul 1,615]

Only 6 points ahead of Arsenal and we face City next, hows he not sacked yet? If you're looking at our next three fixtures then its very possible that Arsenal who've had one the worst starts in their history close the gap on us.

Disgraceful...

[Jase 43,479]

You lot calling Lampard to be sacked but there has been nothing about him getting the sack. It's like screaming into an empty void...

I'm disbelief to be honest, I expected Roman to be more ruthless. He sacked Ancelotti, Mourinho and Conte for much less.

Ancelotti's sacking was a long time ago and I think Roman regretted that one.

Mourinho got sacked in 2015 because he had us near the relegation zone and had clearly lost the plot. He got sacked the first time because of disagreement with the board and again, that was a long time ago.

Conte got sacked after the season ended and primarily because he was throwing tantrums like a baby. 

For better or for worse, I don't think Lampard will be sacked (yet).

English media wouldn’t dare post such thing.
