Actually, we will not 'that disappointed' if he at the very beginning has decided to sign with City in the first place. What it made some of us disappointed, is that he make a 'fake signing' with NYFC first, along with the expected loan move, expected extended loan move, plus all the words he has said. We are disappointed with the route he takes.

This. He could have just joined city from the start.

And nyfc fans bought season tickets just to see frank play have all been scammed. Thats even more sad from frankie

Of course he wants to play at the highest level. He signed for NYCFC in June their first game isn't until March. People are expecting him not to play during all that time? Staying at Citeh means he'll miss 3-4 of NYCFC games hardly massive...

Staying at City is like a slap in the face of every Chelsea fan that sang his name.

It might looks like an 'okay' move from ours perspective, but for some, like NYFC players and fans, along with MLS fans in general, it is really not that 'okay'.

See this is what I mean about ignorance. Scammed? How so? Their season starts in March.

They are currently playing at the Yankee stadium so are very limited to how many home games they can fit in as the baseball games take priority.

So we should expect him not to play? To wait till March and not want to compete at the highest level. He has given everything to Chelsea and we no longer wanted him, we disrespected him, he wanted to continue playing and knew he could play at the highest level which he has proved. If he goes on and wins Citeh the league it isn't his fault at all, it's the clubs fault for not wanting him. People are just looking from the perspective of Chelsea and not Lampard.

We offered him a 1 year deal as far as I know, he wanted 2. Highest level? Why sign for an MLS team when he could go anywhere in the world? Blindly defend him all you want, he did one on us and its disgusting.

This is the end. Very very disappointed with him.

[Liquidator 5,176]

If anyone asks, Lampard never played for us and Alexey Smertin is the top goalscorer in the club's history

Can't say I'm bothered about what Lampard does tbh

[DYC. 7,542]

Haha I knew it, I knew it. It was all a lie. I have to say, a proper con job. Love really does blind. All the weak excuses I read.. Frank's a mean, cold calculating man.

Appreciate what he did in his time at Chelsea, but I stopped caring when he signed for City. Couldn't even own up to it and had to create this whole farce. If he just said that life goes on and he has to think about his own career, I could've respected him at least. Serious lack of class, Frankie.

That said, this doesn't hurt the slightest bit. We still have some old heroes and new heroes are standing up.

Our boys just have to win the league now.

I remember when everyone was saying that "hey, he's just going to stay there for a few months, it's just for his fitness and stuff"...

Better thrash them at the Bridge then... if Frank scores the winner I think the stands will revolt.

Stoke against United. Let's enjoy this.
