Can't wait to finally hear well articulated interviews with our manager, I could listen to Lamps speak football all day.

Ultimately we need to tap into our best youth. Results wise we have the best set of youngsters in this country since the Busby babes and have to take advantage of that. Our current youngsters with the experience of Azpi, Pedro, Kante, Luiz and even Willian alongside them in the squad has the potential to be as good as the Ajax/Monaco sides that go to CL semi's and unlike them we will be able to keep the lads after the breakthrough season if/when it comes and enjoy them in their primes. Should these lads reach their potential that will more than make up for our financial handicap in the market these days compared to the big boys.

Putting the situation into that sort of context, Lampard with Morris and Edwards is the perfect set up right now, we can't waste these obscenely talented lads, we just can't.

I would have thought the club would want to confirm Lampard before Kovacic, but I'd be amazed if he isn't in place ready for pre season which is what, Monday?

They had to seal the Kovacic deal by Sunday or we would not have been able to keep him as a 'registered' player due to the bans. His contract terminated on Monday, the 1st of July.

Yeah I'm aware of that, would just make more sense of Lampard here first else there will be the usual media bollocks around the club where it's a signing being forced upon Lampard before he's even arrived.

The most logical sequence would be Cech, then Lampard, then Kovacic. Let's see what happens...

surely they will have consulted Lamps before before making Kovacic official. Also what alternative did we have.
