Yeah; we're short of midfielders. Seriously though; who, out of our strongest XI would you drop for him? I suppose Samir would be the prime candidate (can't see Merlin, Yaya or Fern, the brazilian one, being dropped). And, personally, I wouldn't swap Samir for Lampard now.
This is a simple case of media arithmetic speculation . Lampard joins sister club NYCFC + he is currently available = Possibility of joining us on loan.
Personally I don't see the point of this. There is the homegrown quota issue but I don't think we are that desperate and Lampard for one will only disrupt the midfield set up internally in terms of unnecessarily competing for places against our players and externally with all the media attention and stories this deal will generate.
We have distinguished ourselves this transfer window by staying out of the media foolishness and nonsense that is going on with the other clubs. We have handled our business objectively and quietly as is the ideal way. This Lampard thing will bring unnecessary distraction and I don't see the need for it.
He is a great player but his time at the top has passed so he should just chill in New York and have a nice and befitting twilight.
