Cech`s Not Given Up Hope!

Honestly this has become a joke. I can't understand why we won't keep Lampard on. It is still very clear that he is capable of playing for chelsea at the highest level. This guy has given ALL his talent and heart to this club. I've read how some of you fans go on about how we should move forward. You guys are blind and ignorant! Look at united and what Fergie, Giigs and scholes still has to offer and look what happened to arsenal when they got rid of all their ledgends....we NEED Lampard here. Nobody said anything about playing him every single game, but for as long as he can play he should be at the club where he helped create success. I rest my case.

Treatment of Super Frank is ridiculous to say the least! I don't know what the thought process of the board not to keep frank, but if they'd offer him a one year rolling contract with a third of his pay I'm sure he'd seriously consider it. But, if that's the way they want to treat their history making scoring midfielder I'm sure he'd love the sunny LA and that 6.5m/yr deal.

Hope is a good thing, and we should never give it up

When Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea Football Club, he overnight became a worldwide name as the club became a major player accross the globe. His credibility soared again in Russia when they were nominated to host the World Cup. His time at Chelsea has been dogged by poor decisions, ridiculous sackings and the regular disposal of players, where he often took a massive financial loss. Winning trophies yes, but more failures than successes have been the regular pattern. If he can`t thrash out some sort of deal to ensure that Frank Lampard extends his contract, his recognition around the world as a credible owner and individual will be viewed simply as a wealthy man but absolutely no sense whatsoever. Listen to the world Roman, not the idiots around you.

This lamps and legend issue will destroy chelsea.every writer is lamps as topic,he has overshadowed every player who do more than him ie hazard's goal,ramirez workrate and even scaring potential managers.when will the funs stop this ***** as its making the club to be dreaded by good players.4 christ sake lamps is finished,all he knows is to use the fans clapping as he is the owner of cfc.if i were benitez ill put him vs oscar to see who contributes more to the team.

And mzee's statement that the Lamps issue will "destroy" the club? Good god, have a little common sense and try, just once, to avoid hyperbole. It doesn't suit you.

we will regret letting him go the sameway we regretted letting ballack go. we will become like arsenal next season unless a certain special one comes back...

All I have to say about it is : I do not think there is one team in the Premier League that wouldn't like to see Frank in their team. Need I say more?

Record* if he leaves he'll should leave with his head held high

@mzee...at all times..its always good to be objective even in criticism, I think you have taken this rant about Lampard too far...your opinion could be that Lampard is no longer needed which is fine (since its your opinion)...but then a none football follower reading your posts will think you are talking about a really poor player, egoisitic, proud and one who thrives amidst unrest....Lampard is none of these and deserves a bit more respect to say the least....from any fan who has followed the club from tha last decade...I have also criticized Lamps in certain games...but your posts are skewed and do not show a sense of fair judgement...Infact more recent displays from Lampard clearly shows he can bring somthing to the table in footballing terms...I know there's probably a lot more behind the scene why the club might not wanta offer him a new contract (the scenario is not normal, not even Didi was treated this way)... such as FFP, The rumoured AVB saga e.t.c but I think objectively the facts for Lampard being given at least a year rolling contract far outweighs those against it....Roman is very very stubborn...I do hope he changes his mind this time...as I think he is the one directly behind this...the other 3 amigos (like GabeU'd say)...do not really appear to have a say in this matter....still hoping for some sorta miracle...it looks remote though...

I have always advocated for Lampard to stay, all be it on a lower wage and for him to continue to be used is asparingly manor as he has been this season. Lampards play in the pivot has evolved and got better as the season wore on, in fact he would be right up there as being potential MOTM for me against stoke, he passing display from deep was for te most prt very good and on another day would have bagged three. Stoke is one example yes, but you would be blind to say he has not improved in that role. Deadwood? No I dont think so. Hes older, and more injury prone than before, butis still a smart footballer, and offers alot of leadership and experiance to our now younger dynamic team. As above, 1 year rolling contracts suit all parties involved in my eyes.

hahaha...A total waste of time Radio. On a more interesting note,an article was released on Dailymail this morning that left majority of the Chelsea fan base angry and aggravated at the clubs handling of the whole Lampard situation. There was no mention of him moving to 194 goals to surpass Kerry Dixon on the official website in the wake of his goal against Stoke City. And an interview in which Petr Cech praised Lamps was edited to cut out mention of the midfielder’s 'loyalty', 'importance', and being ‘as good as ever’. Not until the official Chelsea Twitter and Facebook accounts were bombarded with angry comments and criticism,was an article released on the official site acknowledging Lampards achievements. So why then did it take so long? Why are ChelseaFC PR handling of media activities so poor? Who exactly is head of PR? One thing is for sure,the gap between fans and club is growing bigger by every stupid decision made by the club.

Its likely we would keep talkin about this lampard contract situa tion on daily basis till he leaves in the summer definitely roman's mind is made up and it would only take divine intervention for him to reverse it because he aint crackin despite media and fans criticism..buck,gourlay and emanalo are powerless in this issue,its all up to roman

secondly all this talk of roman has the money and he will do whatever he deems fit is nonsense. This is chelsea football club and not roman football club. If tomorrow roman leaves the club, we wont, we cant. Fans are more important to the club. In fact fans are the club. If the fans are panicky it is because of incompetence of the board to do the right thing. No plans towards succession of players from the academy. No plans on squad development. No plans on managerial instability. We have one of the worst board in club football.

blue india i thought we have the worst board in club football, even Forest Green FC have a better board than us

It looks like Lampard burned the bridge with the AVB fight last year and Roman has made his decision. My concern is the overall player development strategy for this club...which I am convinced that ther is none...I am not convinced that lampard has told the club that he would take a 1 year deal with a substantial wage cut...does anyone know if he has done this? I wold not sign Lampard for two years at his current wage... So Lampard is letting the English press negotiate for him...if Lampard is re-signed you would have Lampard, Ramiers, McEchran, Mikel, Romeu....and Modric/Felliani????? how many Pivot players do you need? Honestly, If Lampard is signed does he warrant significant playing time? This team is requires a passer/playmaker like McEachran/Modric. what about Oscar? There are way too many players for two positions...so how does anyone justify Lampard signing??? Some players gotta go...so unless Lampard says he will take a significant pay cut and sign for one year with the understanding that he is to mentor the younger players and to not expect much playing time then I would sign him. But I expect that he will not do that and he will allow the English press wage the public relations war for him and negotiate for him. Thus the reason for Chelsea's inactivity and negotiating position.

FL is thinking that he can sway RA and the board into offering him a contract with all his "I am the HERO of CFC. RA and Board are the bad guys" But it will only strengthen the resolve of the board and RA to get RID of him. I am seeing lot and lot of similarities between FL and JOSE situation at CFC in 2007. Both are refused the clubs request. FL blatantly back-stabbed the clubs desire to move towards the sustainable future with AVB debacle. With AVB doing well at spurs it will rub in the face off RA more and more. Noboady can deny that with the youthful team we has now AVB could have been our own SAF. We can all argue how its not JT FL AC fault that AVB is naive and not a good manager etc etc. But the simple truth is AVB is appointed solely by RA. NOBODY ELSE. We need to give praise where its due. If RA idea worked AVB will be on his second year in the EPL now with youthful team and at the same time experienced. From next year we could have gone to build an empire. Now bcz of the saking of AVB last season our inevitable new direction is delayed for another 2 years now. Its the same situation with Jose in 2007 when RA decided to tone down the controversy of Jose and move towards eye catching football to restore the image of chelsea infront of the world. What Jose did. He constantly made fool of the board and RA in the press and belittled the club at each and every given opportunity in the press. So RA sacked him ruthlessly with out any option. Now FL is doing the same HERO act through his media buddies and agent but it is going to back fire spectacularly on FL once he hangs up his boot. RA is not going to leave CFC ever. Only after the dead of RA FL and Jose has any chance of returning to SB if they act like this. FL is over playing his hand on this contract issue. Even if he is 2 or 3 goals short of 202 he has every chance to come back here on loan in future like henry and break that record but with his media war against the club do you guys honestly think RA will allow him to come back? I dont think so. Jose was saked bcz he started to act like he is bigger that CFC itself. Lampard is doing the same thing now with out he knowing it. I am not even for a second thinks that all this bitching from the press and FL camp is going to change anything from CFC at all. Its better for both parties to go on separate ways with out any ill feelings. JT's contract is not going to be renewed mostly just bcz of this same reason guys. Constant negativity towards CFC through out the world. We can all argue about JT and FL and how as fans we dont care about the media image of CFC. But its really really important for RA and CFC. No club can susrvive with out good media portrayal. Everybody knows that media is biased but nobody will deny that they are essential in making people believe lies as truths. truths as lies. The second biggest mass murder in the history of man kind is IRAQ WAR. But at the time of the war more than 90% people thought its right to go to the war with iraq. Did you guys know why? BCZ of media and its lies. BUSH and MURDOCH are both solely responsible for more than a 1M peoples dead yet still after all blown up the media is still able to cover up for them. WHY? BCZ Murdoch controls most of the media around the world. IF our FANS think that MEDIA is not important then they are living in the stone age. RM and BARCA is doing as much as BAD things in football like CFC but why they are always the darling of general public? MEDIA. GIGGS is ******** his brothers wife for more than 8 years. But 80% public dont even know about it. Yet each and every child(10 to 18yrs) now knows that CFC is employing a RACIST CAPTAIN. General public(people who are not with any opinion) is what decides the matter. Their opinion is what matters in any give issue. Whether its movie or WAR or particular individual. Its bcz of the media.

and he just knows how to "say it right" doesn't he, the campaigner??....http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2262421/Frank-Lampard-worried-Chelsea-standards-dropping.html

This is the same reason RA is going all out for PEP. Is he the best manager in the world? Certainly NO. With only exp in barca and la liga he is not even top 5 manager of my liking. But he is 100% clean image guy. MESSI is doing almost as much as BAD things as RONALDO on and off the field yet its ronaldo who is the bad guy. ronaldo is even doing more charity work than messi but nobody knows about it. BARCA players DIVE more than any other team in the whole world but no commentator is mentioning it. Why bcz of their clean image. As a owner of CFC RA wants that type of image and universal price for his cfc then what is wrong with it? FANS should think about the two side of the coin. We are just jumping on the HERO LAMPARD bandwagon with out even a second thinking. WHY? ITs bcz media is constantly writing about FL and his loyalty and how professional he is. Each and every good match we are playing this season the sole reason behind is FL. Each and every bad match we are playing this season its bcz of RA and the board.

@blueandwhitearmy, I'll like to know two things mate, how and where did mourinho belittle chelsea fc and what are the bad things messi do off the pitch that is as much as ronaldo? The issue for those saying lampard don't do anything offensively or defensively is that u lot love flair too much to appreciate the other players who sweat for the team, rammy,mikel and lamps, lamps go to the opposition box because its in his instincts to as a CAM, box to box and perhaps a second striker, he have been like that for almost 20 years of football, why do u want him to change overnite, as I said if he agrees that he won't play all games and would be used from the bench most times and with a paycut, then I am okay if he still playing for us, but as an attacker, not as a pivot player and I believe he'll come good for us

@Desmondadonis Are you kidding me mate? This is what i am saying in my previous posts. MEDIA. MEDIA. They can swing any matter the way they want. Go and see the older articles at the time of Jose's end in 2007. His constant negativity towards RA and CFC board. Constantly telling the press that your club owner dont want you to win trophies the owner and the board want you to play good football and win things etc are not belittling the CFC then what? As a manager you must know not to say your board discussions in the press. Jose simply said Scheva is the signing of RA and CFC. BCZ of this only reason JM ridiculed Scheva in front of the whole world by playing him out of position(eventhough Scheva is also on the decline on that time bcz of niggling injuries and age etc). Jose said in the presses that CFC board and RA dont want to back him on the signings and they provided him 3rd rate eggs and expecting 1st class omelettes. This is not belittling then what is? Like i said Jm is sacked bcz of only one reason "JM started to act like he is bigger than CFC itself"

@BlueAmdWhiteArmy..good thinking..really good...the problem with Lampard being offered a one year rolling contract with defined respensibilites is this....can anyone actually imagine Lampard keeping quiet if he does not start three straight matches and he is fit and on the bench....especially if the team is not winning?....if in such scenarios, he speaks and gets upset (similar to the AVB time) then that could affect the entire team and lead to untold deep in form of the team....honestly there are arguments for and against the Lampards contracts really...whatever happens, I hope the club comes out of it better.....

@layorh12 What is worrying me more and more is Almost all CFC fans are crying out for tough decisions to be taken for the past 5 years. How our board is clueless and how they dont have any vision etc etc. But when the board starts to show some back bone and making tough decisions we are sliding on the other side and trashing the board and RA and how we are worst. I am not saying that the board is RIGHT in FL AC JT issue here. What i am saying is all the BIG clubs boards a had made these type tough of decisions. Some times its right sometimes its wrong. But they need to make these decisions one time or other. They cant ignore and delay making these decisions forever. I know Bertrand is not even the 60% the level of Cole in LB. But last season itself i asked Ryan to be given more and more 1st team opportunities. WHY? Is it bcz RYAN is better than Cole? NO. RYAN will never be better than Cole with out any first team playing time. If we gave Ryan the playing time last season and this season we could have decided now that he is a natural successor of cole by now. Yet we didnt gave him that now we are talking about how we need to buy another left back so its better to give Cole 2 yr contract. UNTIL WE as a whole didnt take that RISK and move on to the unknown we dont know one way or another. RYAN is 24 now? Just tell me which promising player in any big club who is as patient as him? He is showing enormous patience bcz he is with CFC from the age of 10. CFC is abusing his love in the wrong way. RYAN will leave if we sign another established LB NOW. SAME goes for JOSH and all our promising young players. If you keep on giving FL AC JT all the contract and playing time they want then WHEN our younger players are going to develop? I have said it many many times. I will be happy to write off 2 to 5 seasons with out even a carling cup if it means we implement 3 to 7 players from our youth and made them world beaters in this time. Giving FL AC another 2 year contract is not just financial matr. It includes reducing playing time of JOSH and RYAN further. With cole always playing at LB RYAN is now playing at LW just to stay FIT. Whole world knows that he is not a LW yet we are playing him there to satisfy him and make him feel he is somewhat involved. What i am saying is WHY dont we play him in mid table team matches in PL EL this season itself? We MAY loose 2 or 3 matches bcz of his mistakes but he will gain in valuable exp and mature as a player from next yr on wards.

@Blueand whitearmy...your thinking is that of a true fan not after glory hunting which is commendable...BUT...we both know chelsea has not been working this way and recent evidence does not suggest things will change soon...I dont think Roman will sacrifice results and youth development for trophies...there is a difference between development and winning and the balance between these two is tough to achieve....I am sure next season...Roman will demand for trophies...bcos by his standards the transition would have been completed...whoever is coach under such scenarios cannot be patient with youth andloosing couple of matches just for them to develop that is if he wants to keep his job...Playing for or managing chelsea at this point is a really tough one....

Each and every player can be replaced. If not next year, we will surely replace Lampard with equivalent player in 2 years. Chelsea will move on.

@layorh12 RA sacked AVB bcz he is not left with alternatives. After the sacking itself RA directly went to the dressing room and said "I didnt sacked AVB but the players sacked avb" This words are really really harsh. When you consider RA is rarely out spoken these words meant the player not betrayed AVB they betrayed CFC and RA. Only twist in the whole SAGA is RDM and our f.a cup and CL win. NOBODY expected it not RA not CFC board not CFC fans. Nobody expected CFC to win anything. Only reason behind the sacking of AVB is RA tried to save the season by securing at least top 4. That is the reason they didnt appointed benetiez at that time. That is the same reason they now appointed benetiz now to make way for NEW YOUNG CLUB building manager like a AVB or PEP or Klop etc. The managers name is not going to be that much important in this summer but he will certainly be given time unlike anybody in the past. RDM forced the hand of chelsea and RA hand by winning CL. RA swayed by the press and public opinion for the 1st time in the 9 years gone against his initial judgement and appointed RDM. Like i said RA and the board considers our last seasons CL and f.a cup wins as some fluke nothing else. We cant really blame them bcz even the most vocal CFC fans could not deny that our last season's heroics are once in a life time thing. Like miracle of istanbul for liverpool..

@layorh12 I also hope the same thing. STABILITY is a must for chelsea for atleast next 3 years. CFC's Youth team and youngsters is the best assembled in the world. Hell individually they are even better than barca youths in most cases. BUT with out soul and identity about how they want to play or how they are going to be inserted to the first team everything is a mess about our youth team. CFC is the biggest buyer of young players for the past 3 years. No club has bought more young exciting players whether its first team or youth team we are buying lot of players.So i dont think its all just a coincidence. RA and the board may have a brilliant plan and trying to implement it.Anyway like you said we need to wait and see.

Guys there's a difference between reality and optimism. If Roman and CFC board have a brilliant plan they are waiting to unleash,we would have seen signs by now. Its obviously going to be the same quick fix approach,everytime there's a problem. As for your ideology on Messi and Ronaldo,honestly mate that's laughable,99 out of 100 players will tell you how humble lionel is on and off the pitch in total contrast to Ronaldo. I seem to hear it all on VC's front page.

@nelyvanile Dont be one sided mate. You should see the both sides objectively. Hiring AVB? Signing almost all the players from the age group of 17 to 23? What are all these? Charity work from CFC? If the hiring of AVB worked the way CFC and RA wanted then AVB's infamous Project could have been in its final year.With the team we are having and with some additions we could have been force to be reckoned with AVB(2 season managerial exp in EPL CL) Players like MATA LUIZ with 2yrs with cech ivanavic terry to provide more exp etc. I am also annoyed with the clubs decision regarding Lampard but i am not naive to believe what the papers write and want me to believe.

@nelyvanile CFC has highest number of players loaned out (more than 25) who are all in the range of 16 to 21 year group. Still chelsea is not buying finished products anymore. We are not buying players in the range of 25 to 18 anymore. Even if we buy falcao its bcz of the necessity rather than policy(Bcz of the world beating FLOP of FT).So there is no need for the fans to jump on the new paper bandwagon to thrash the board and RA.

25 to 28 not 18.

Trust me mate,this is not coming from Naivity,its coming from friends I had who use to work as Chelsea's PR. Chelsea always come up with a plan for every season,but along the way the plaj is dealt a certain amount of blow. The board/Owner panics and shows their lack of patience which ultimately leads to another step backwards. You talk about AVB's signing/sacking...same AVB has come out to say Chelsea don't have a plan/ Project put in place. Doesn't that ring a bell? If AVB signing was truly a plan,then the Club/ owner could have been patient enough to see it trough. Just to also point out,winning the Champions league gave us an added advantage in signing player like Hazard and Oscar,so its not like a plan was put in place to sign them.

@Layorh. Probably a sweetener for Isco...Sounds like a club with a plan? Go on loan and become a finished product,that's more like the Chelsea plan. Our transition from youth to first team is *****,due to our eye for other clubs project and players they developed. We have top young talents in the U-18 and U-21 squad,I visit Cobham often to watch the U-18 play,and it gladdens my heart we have such young talents. But deep down inside of me,I know we will probably loan them out and ultimately sell them off. Its the Chelsea way for the last 5 seasons. Signing top young players in europe ultimately reduces the chances of our youth team making a head way,especially seeing how must of the players they look up to,to make their way into the first team.

@nelynanile...i think so too...although for me its still looks like an aggresive loan arrangement although i have tried to explain above^^^ the only rationale that could give some credence to the board's decision to loan such a talented young teenager to malaga....i just hope all these work out..

*they look up to,to make their way into the first team gets loaned and ultimately sold out*

@BlueAndWhiteArmy...yes we are signing and grooming a lot of really excting young talent but from your last post..''All we now need is a very good promising coach to mold them into a particular way of thinking and playing from youth to first team'' is not complete...you forgot to mention the fact that we prefer to first loan out our very talented youngsters to other clubs to prove their abilities before they can have a chance of working with our first team...not even barca does that...I dont understand that part of our ''new strategy'' where all youth must first go on loan before trasitioning...and even after the loan somtimes they are either forgotten or simply sold...why would we wanta loan Piazon to malaga?....i have tried to explain it but no matter how i deeply consider it, the move does not look good for the poor lad...at a young age, he came to england from brazil...now still at a young age we are sending him to a 3rd country with different culture language and football...these events are truly worrysome..i hope like you said...the board has a plan and I hope the plan works..

My point exactly Layorh. People think loaning a player means a definite improvement. It doesn't always work like that,there's a 50/50 chance of the player's development stalling or improving. Loaning a player to a team that plays a different style to yours,and also might play him out of position doesn't always guarantee development. We have 20+ players on loan and you can ultimately count does who are doing well and developing. I'm just hopeful Piazon is able to break into a very talented Malaga squad or did we just use him as a scape goat to get Isco nonchalant about his development or playing time.

i am crossing my fingers.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_Piaz%C3%B3n....guys here's some sort of further confirmation...I know its not the best of sources...but it does give some further credence to the rumour.....present club: on loan malaga!!!.....short of words if true.

@nelyvanile WHAT STYLE you are talking about? Chelsea dont have any style of playing. When JM was here we played particular type of defensive counter attacking style football. Other than that i dont thing we played with any style at all in RA's 10 yrs. STYLE is not just playing good football and winning. ITS about playing from top to bottom. BARCA has a particular style Dortmund has particular style. If you want to look much closer UTD has a particular style(wingers for 75% time) WIGAN has particular style(martinez implemented it there.now they are playing a particular way from 1st team to all the way down).Swansea has a style.

the reason why we loan out our younger players is because it generally means were going to spend huge amounts of money on a few players. i think we get our loans all wrong. can anyone please explain the rationale of selling miereles and loaning essien two similar players who we could really do with right now and not replacing them- why couldnt KDB or McEachran be fastracked into those positions especially- at least wed have the option, instead of only having 2 CM/DM players in our team. we though ok we will sell raul, loan essien send KDB and josh on loan and then we will panic buy fellainin in january which means that KDB and josh will go out again in summer as they wont get in past fellaini, ramires, romeu and mikel.

@nelyvanile you are interpreting almost all my comments in a wrong way mate. I know how our youth team is playing. But our first team is not playing the same way. Only now in this season we some what tried to do that with RDM but he is always the care taker in the eyes of RA and the board. Still RA thinks that our CL and f.a cup win is a fluke. Nobody can deny that our cl win is once in a life time event.So still they are going for another manager to implement a style permanently. Either its PEP or MOYES or KLOPP or even RAFA.It wont matter until we define a clear philosopy. Once this is installed we must recruit the players who fits that style. Our next manager must play with in that parameters. HELL even swansea are able to tell their manager's which type of style they want. WHY cant CFC?

Swnsea defined their football philosophy when they were in the bottom of english football 10 years before still they are playing the same way in PL. They builded the club constantly with in that parameters. PALYERS, MANAGERS, SCOUTS, ADMINS everybody is working with that particular aim only. Until CFC didnt come to that understanding we cant have certain style. STYLE wont come easily. WE need to make sacrifices before that happens. Hiring of AVB was towards that but it went to hell in his sacking.this summer we are going to do that once again. So dont take RA and our board as imbecile and fools. They have their own fault. but they are not as naive as papers and people want us to believe.

If Lampard can accept to be a super sub then he should stay at Chelsea. But what does the future hold for PVA, KDB, Kakuta and Bruma?

Not saying they are imbeciles or fools (ignorant maybe),but I am pretty sure we deserve better and more knowledgeable peeps at the helm of affairs. Who know better about how a football club should be run,and how a transition season should be handled. If you want MANAGERS, SCOUTS, ADMINS to work hand in hand,then the right people have to be placed at the right positions. If you take an in depth view of how all top and emerging clubs are run,it makes you obviously question people in charge of our decision making.

Well said @dwonder,u are absolutely spot on

Dwonder, He's still one of our best players. That's why he should stay not because he's a club legend. The fact that Chelsea won the Champions League after AVB left indicates to me that Lampard & Drogba knew what they were talking about. AVB may (or may not) be successful with younger and less talented players, but at Chelsea he was like Brian Clough at Leeds Utd - a total disaster.

Tubby just confirmed in the press conference that Piazon is set for malaga...case closed...is Isco coming the other way?...no one is sure....but i would think so...because the loan deal for Piazon does not look normal...to me.

the only good thing about the Piazon signing is that i guess it will free up squad space for an incoming player...which means we are not done in this window..in terms of player purchases which I am super happy about...

@blue and white army. You argue persuasively. Lampard, terry have been great servants of this club but sadly their time is up. Our desire for pep comes from the fact that ra wants a more organic growth model rather than an aggressive buy buy buy model. Youth development and leadership development can be achieved by a manager like pep or klop as proven in that regard

Can we move on from this Terry,lampard and cole issue?if you like shout ''sign him up'' at the top of your voice at stamford bridge,if you like, write numerous articles on why they should be offered another deal,the club has taken their decision.they ain't getting another deal.if they sign anything,na autograph dem sign.so can we move on please???

@Desmond..I am not being a pessimist but I dont think he'll get quality playing time..you cant walk if you dont crawl, while he is vastly talented..Malaga for me is a step too high for the young teenager...for him the most important thing is not in the team he plays..its about playing time...I could be wrong but I dont think we'll be the happy party after the loan deal expires...except there is a clause which mandates him to play a minimun number of matches the existence of which I doubt..I taught we would have learnt a couple of lessons after loaning Josh to Swansea....I wish the young lad all the best...Like i said earlier, the only thing that makes me happy is that the loan deal suggest to me at least indirectly that we'll be seeing one or two more arrivals during this window...and i think Aspas is probably one of those players, Isco to a lesser extent...lets see what happens over the next couple of days....

And I do hope it the loan deal does not end as Piazon +cash=Isco when it expires in the summer...I will be more than gutted, although Isco is a fantastic player....

@layorh,we are an advertisin board for their client

@ken4cfc. Thats to be expected. We buy big and we are a big club. If an agent able to associate his players name with us, automatically his value goes up.

And of all those player you named, have any of them stayed at the club for over 11 years? Been club captain for most of the 2006/07 season? Scored over 20 goals per season from 2006-2010? No he shoulnt be "treated any different",

I'm afraid i have to disagree strongly with @Lakupiippu...you may want to reconsider your statements as it may sound to some like you are advocating discrimination on the grounds of nationality....here i was thinking we had moved on from the dark times...

The club should offer Frank Lampard a new 2 year contract at 70k per week. If Frank is not prepared to accept the reduction in wages, that is his choice. The club can then announce that they have offered the player a new 2 year deal , but unfortunately both parties could not reach an agreement. End of story. The fans will then accept the situation. By offering him nothing, is disrespectful and short sighted by the club.

Raul and guti stayed at real madrid for as long as 16years but when the time to move on came,they moved..so whether he lamps has been here for 11,12 or 13years is irrevelant,when the time comes to move he should move..it would not take anything away from his legendary status

The club is not oblige to offer anybody contract,the club have decided not to offer lampard a contract,its within the right of the club to offer a contract or not,and clearly they wont offer him one and that does not take anything away from his legendary status,so where is all this talk of "disrespect" comin from??
