Re: Lampard
His experience and awareness of everybody around him is invaluable.
Plus his first time passes, more often than not, hit the mark.

Re: Lampard
Cracking player.
Shame we didn't make him a signing back in 2008!

Re: Lampard
I really can't see that happening. I can't see NYCFC agreeing to it, and if Soriano has an ounce of sense he'll hopefully prioritise giving NYCFC a good start over giving us one extra player for a few more months. The NYCFC fans are still only a couple of gentle nudges away from turning on CFG and many are quite willing to abandon the club if it looks like NYCFC is just MCFC's lapdog. If we steal one of their prize assets right at the very point they are supposed to be bursting onto the scene with all pomp and ceremony then the relationship between NYCFC and its fans could be permanently corroded. I know a lot here will reply "I couldn't care less about NYCFC", but I honestly believe that it's in CFG's - and by extension, City's - best interests to make NYCFC successful, and it will certainly cause a lot of damage to CFG's name in the long run if they spend $100m on creating a MLS team only for it to massively backfire and get no fans turning up every game because they insisted on allocating all of its resources to Manchester every time we look like we're going through a rough patch.
Maybe if we had three more points in both the PL and CL I'd be more anxious to keep him, but frankly I think we all know that we aren't going to win either competition this season, so I'm not sure what the virtue is in being so precious over a player who is not ours to dictate terms to.

Can't see it. He would miss the first four or five games of the MLS season if that happened. I reckon he'll be gone by the second week of February, and it's probably for the best.
I am not so sure Falstur.....if we qualify for the CL knock out stages, I could see him staying until the end of the season.

Re: Lampard
Can you just clarify that point ?? Are you suggesting that he`s been shit for us, so far ??

Re: Lampard
He won't play at Southampton, he was f**ked by the end (in fact quite a while before the end), decent game though, I was worried when I saw him starting, but he kept possession as well as anyone.
