As city play 5 midfielders half the time....
No we don't we play 442 most of the time. So 2 central midfield players. We Already have Toure Fernandinho, Fernando, Rodwell, Zuculini. As i said not a big deal

The MLS doesn't start till March, I think. So we would have him for the entirety of AFCON. If Zuculini goes on loan, we'd have Ferno, Ferna, Rodwell (assuming he isn't sold or loaned), Javi, and Lampard. And TBH I think Lampard would be well ahead of Rodwell even if the latter stayed.

So you would play a 36 year old who is only here for a month over trying to develop one of our younger players...

He can play in the middle of the 3 in 4 2 3 1 when we have only one fit striker, which was frequently the case in the latter part of last season and looks like repeating. For example the Everton away match when Yaya and Aguero went off, and a left back came on.

Depends on the situation. I wouldn't throw one of our youngsters into, say, a situation like Real Madrid away. And if we have anything like the injury epidemic of last season, we might be thankful that we have a 36-year-old instead of a teenager.
For cup games we might decide to put youngsters in with Frank Lampard and rest our 1st teamers.

There are some very bitter and twisted comments on the DM website
Personally I don't see what all the fuss is about. Chelsea didn't want him, he signed for a club that doesn't start playing until March and we need a bit of cover

Before the start of every season, whenever a player being signed is mentioned there's always the cry of "We've got enough cover in that position".
However there always seems to be at least one game a season where we're short of options. Just to remind everyone, versus Chelsea we had MDM playing in central midfield. Now I know we've signed Fernando, but we will also lose Yaya during a really busy period.
I find it really strange people questioning the motives of our manager and boardroom. More often than not, they call it absolutely right. If they feel Lampard is worth taking a chance on, that will do for me.

So you would play him in front of any of the many other players who can do that job, so Milner who we want to stay but is complaining about game time or even giving a youngster a chance...
