Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted July 1, 2008 Administrators Share Posted July 1, 2008 If he gets an early look-in and scores, he'll be very useful, 10+ goal potential. If he has to wait around on the bench and not get many chances, he'll annoy you. He relies on confidence, trust from his manager, and is impatient and in a hurry to get his goals. Big move for him.

bridgekings Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Aldershot game finished 2-2, Stoch and Kakuta with the goals. Both goals were good finishes after being put through on goal by neat through balls. Kakuta's goal I thought was especially well taken as he had to hold off a pretty burly defender whilst he tucked it away at the near post. Stoch hobbled off with about 20 minutes to go after kicking the floor attempting a shot, hope he's alright. Thought Bridcutt was very good at centre half, as he always seems to be when i've watched him. Was good to be watching football again. Team - Taylor, Van Aanholt, Bridcutt, Magnay, Cummings, Taiwo, Tejera, Fernandes, Stoch, Ferreira, Neilsen. Subs - Searle, Sala, Kakuta, Philliskirk, Woods, Mellis.

Chapman Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 So not to much being said about Frank in here, what are we all thinking? It's really difficult for me, for all of us no doubt, as there is so much to think about, on the one hand, it's Super FL, a complete and true legend for us, guaranteed 15+ Goals/Assists next season, we love him. However if what is being said is true and we have in fact offered a 4 year 140K pw contract, but he's refusing to sign because he wants 5 years then how can you not think that he really, really wants leave, then we should allow him to go, if he's so confident he'll be in the team in 5 years he'd take the 4 contract and earn the extra year down the road, further more, can Inter even afford to come anywhere near these kind of figures? I'm thinking no and this purely about Jose. I wish Frank would just come out and say want he's thinking, this is no way for him to go out after what we've been through with him, if he would just come out and say he always wanted test himself in a European league and what better chance to do it than with Jose at Inter, a manager that we all watched together make him a better player, I'm sure we could all appreciate that, say thanks, leave on good terms and keep the good memory's instead of it ending with bitterness which I think alot of fans are already starting to feel, Lamp's has done so much for us that 30 years from now he should be getting talked about in the same breath as men like Ozzie, Franco, Chopper, Wisey etc, not getting booed out of Stamford Bridge by half the fans that still have this in the back of their mind. I just hope it gets sorted sharpish, this is not the kind of start the big man needs for his first pre-season prep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridgekings Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Frank's going to leave, be it this transfew window or at the end of the season, that's a given. The real question is are we better off cashing in this window for the reported £8 million being offered and keeping potentially a distracted player, or keeping him for one final season. Should we get a decent fee for Frank then I wouldnt be adverse to letting him leave this window, as much to get it all done and dusted. Rumours now emanating from Italy that it could be cash + Adriano that is offered. I've always liked Adriano but he's had his problems recently and i'm not sure how he did in his spell at Sao Paulo, he certainly got back in shape physically from a few photos is saw. Would be a real shame not to see Frank back in a Chelsea shirt again but this has been coming for the last 18 months now. A 5 year contract on £150,000 for a 30 year old does seem excessive but this is Frank Lampard, a massive asset for us and an integral part of our success over the last 5 years. There is an argument that Frank should take the reported 4 year deal being offered and show his worth for an extension and I completely understand and agree with that. Personally, I think Lampard quite likes the idea of heading to Italy, sampling another culture, both in footballing and lifestyle terms and is almost using this contract issue as a smokescreen for that. Would much rather he comes out and says that he fancies finishing his career in Italy, under a manager he clearly loves and respects than let this contract malarkey overshadow a fantastic Chelsea career. Whatever he decides, I would have understood and respected but this has started to drag on and on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
