Twitter Is Ablaze With Talk Of Frank Lampard, Too.
- Thread starter BossNYC
- Start date
Villa is young enough to give 3-5 years of good play by MLS standards. Lampard, maybe 1-2? It's a nice name splash, and he will be a good player for us, but his tenure could be pretty short for investment we are making.
It's simple, when you have incidents like his 9/11 situation, it kinda looks bad. Not taking anything away from his talent as a player but in the eyes of Britain he is a sport legend but to America, he is painted as somewhat of an jerk. Sucks to say but that was his first impression to the US and unfortunately it's not going to go away that soon to many people, especially in New York
Lampard is going to be a simple case for me... "You root for the laundry".
Bring me more signings!

The Daily Mirror in the UK is reporting that the deal is done. Not sure if they are a reliable source.

Not really.. I wanna know what source the paper got
In the UK, the credibility of rumours is more based on how many sources are reporting it and how many details are provided. Every paper has some sources, but every paper also makes up a load of nonsense. There are places around that keep a record of what percentage of reported stories about transfers end up actually happening, sorted by newspaper reporting the stories, and no paper has an accuracy of more than about 30%.

This is what I'm thinking as well. It seems more of a signing for marketing reasons. He would be a huge tool to get fans of other EPL teams to watch NYCFC.
The Mirror back in the UK is now running a live reactions text commentary regarding the Lampard story:

It may turn into being more of a celebration of his time at Chelsea, but there might be a few interesting bits there.

I imagine he'd play holding with someone more energetic. Like he did this season, for example paired with Ramires.
I really was not following EPL on a regular basis back then, and I tried to search for what he actually said or did, I couldn't find anything other then he and other players were drunkenly abusing some Americans at a hotel. Without the exact content, that is pretty inexcusable, but does anyone know exactly what he said or did?
That is a bit disappointing, but hopefully they do not try to ignore it, he faces it head on and addresses it and people can see that who we were in our 20's does not reflect who we are a decade or so later.
