Lampard Off?
- Thread starter NYCisBlue_
- Start date
He's hit or miss. Has broken big transfer news in the past.
Though it would make an awful lot of sense.
Chelsea as an assistant coach.
Hey, anyone care to ask me what I think we should do with Frank?
I was content to have him play well when he was here. But I can't help but feel vindicated in my dislike of this move since it was rumoured.
That's about as least smug as I can muster about it. He's possibly the worst signing in MLS history when you plot him out on a 3D graph of pay, play and shit storms.

I don't think he will want to retire just yet, this is similar to how Beckham started with the Galaxy in with all the backlash from the fans for lack of dedication

The Lampard situation reminds me a lot of Beckham situation when he first went to LA in the lack of dedication and looking to move back to Europe via Milan, the CFG stuff doesn't help at all and being injured won't help his cause, personally he has until the summer to prove his worth, if not negotiate a release and sign someone like Fernando Torres

At least beckham had good intentions when he first went to MLS. He only got frustrated with it over time.
The Lampard situation has been a mess since day one.

I actually thought he was younger lol, didn't realised he was that old, maybe retirement might be the option, just had to Wikipedia his age lol
He was younger when he got here.

I meant 34/35 years old Ulrich lol
Surprise! Lampard given more time off: http://www.empireofsoccer.com/nycfc-notes-lampard-given-time-off-harrison-trains-in-full-more-46880/
What do you expect? Not playing since January 31st is exhausting!
Not even Peeping Lampard made an appearance.
Gonna get interesting in about a month or so, because I'm starting to think the absence of #8 has a bit more to do with PV not wanting to be saddled with a lineup consisting of both Lampard & Pirlo and less to do with injury.
With the Euro championships starting up in June, I'll assume any player getting a call up to his National team will be leaving his MLS club sometime in the mid-late May.
Should Pirlo get a place on Italy's team, does Frank have a miraculous recovery and finally make it into the starting 11?
Part of me is typing out this post to be nothing but a smart ass, but part of me kind of believes it.
