Re: Frank Lampard (staying until end of season confirmed P11

based on what the agent has said, one possible scenario is we have tried to protect nycfc

they messed up parading him without any contract being signed, so when we approached him to play we were happy for the perception to be it was a loan

You'd like to think that as this photo was being taken Frank was humming the #MCFC fans' tune "We're Not Really Here"

He never signed for NYCFC, as last summer there wasn't a club to sign a contract with, so he signed for MCFC until the 31st January. MCFC said to him 'you need to keep fit' so come and train with us. He did, Pellegrini liked what he saw, and registered him as a player.

A few days before Christmas, MCFC got in touch with NYCFC, and said they would like to keep him, and NYCFC said OK, but we would still like him to come over.

MCFC signed him up for the rest of the season, and Frank has now signed a contract with NYCFC from the 1st July, 2015.

It was all explained by his agent on the radio tonight. Sort of. His agent wouldn't be interviewed directly, but it all came over as legit.

He wanted to join NYCFC last summer, but there just wasn't anything to sign for.

Anyway, he'll be going there this summer.

quote from agent now

couldnt sign for nycfc as club didnt exist, was going to sign on jan 1st but things changed

That is the game, set and match of this whole debate in one sentence. Hilarious but true.

I don't think that who owned him is a significant issue at all. Regardless of contracts the problem was that various people represented him as being in New York for the start of their season.

Then the perception (whether it's true or not, but it's hard to argue against) is that the needs of MCFC overrided the needs of NYCFC and the plan was changed.

I think communication, or lack of it has been a big issue throughout as well. If we'd let people know what was going on there would have been much less negative feeling about it all. We've really let things drag on and on, and it's taken until now for the picture to be clarified even a bit. Wouldn't really be surprised if there was another twist or two that we haven't been told about as well.

We've had them all over, duped them call it what you what. Don't try and make excuse's "there wasn't a club to have a contract with" that's just making silly excuses, who did David Villa sign for ? We've just had them over plain and simple !

Great news.

He could play for a couple more years in a side like ours and ive no doubt he will be given at least another years deal lol.

So does Villa only have contract with Man City like Lamps?

Why we didnt bring him here too when all our strikers were injured? And we could let him leave end of January which is still perfectly in time for NYCFC.

He's on loan at Melbourne, so as I say he's a NYCFC player so there was a club to sign for.
