Frank lampard

[Albumen]

Exactly what this progressive team needs is a press-loving 38+ year old with an opinionated press-loving dad and a career that ended 2 seasons ago, who'd break the salary bar.

As imagination goes, there's none in this story.

That would be a "no" from you then

If it does happen and I really don't think it will do we all really know the facts.

Everyone says big time charlie, circus etc yet those that know him speak very highly of him and suggest he is anything but a big time person.

They say he was always one of the hardest working and training players in the team and surely this would be a great thing for a younger players to gain knowledge and understanding.

Finally it may shift a few more shirts, Lampard is/was a global name in football, so could potentially get some revenue from this.

As I say, I really don't think it would happen but from what I hear if it did, I really don't think it would be as bad as some people make out, people who make statements with no fact and simply base opinions from things they have heard, as opposed to listening to people that do know.

No. Timmy gets the inside scoop ALWAYS. It's the rules

I spoke to the gaffer about this at a presser back in November. He didn't appear too excited about it.

They were still playing, fit and able rather than past it and f@t.

Vicente left Valencia in May. Had no club and joined us in September.

Bridge played his last game in March before joining us in July.

I'm assuming you've watched him recently to know he is past it and fat rather than just making a lazy assumption.

 

[the right footed denilson]

Wake up people. He's 38. THIRTY EIGHT.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

They signing too are they? I am talking currently ...as it stands right now.

We had a tight squad pushing for promotion when both those big time Charlies joined as well.

They didn't seem to cause too much issue. That's my point.

I'm not even arguing that I want Lampard to join. But I find it bizarre to say the least that people slam his character as a reason not to. He is THE model professional from the premier league era.

 

[crabface]

Il eat my lucky shoes if Fat Frank joins, its just never going to happen.

Got to be more likely than Leicester winning Premier League last season...What are your lucky shoes made of ?....Could be amusing ..

Well I disagree, Bridge had not been playing for quite sometime if I remember rightly and Vicente, as much as he was great in his day he was a bit under the radar and hardly came here with the same limelight Lampard would.
We didn't go up those seasons, and no, I am not claiming they were the reasons why but I am claiming that keeping this current squad tight is likely to be the difference. Lampard has had a great career but I would rather we wouldn't spend a lot of money (wages) on a very short term risk.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I see it as we have a whole squad of mates working very hard for each other to reach the ultimate goal, I don't want a big bollo**s coming in followed by a media circus. No no no. I would rather have players desperate to achieve something rather than players coming here for an easy pay day.

In terms of gormlessness it would be on a par with the Albion signing Robbie Savage in the Withdean era.

He is neither past it or fat, whereas Vicente was anything but fit and able , and Bridge's career was curtailed by injury at Reading I recall, wasn't he injured a lot here too ?

38 for a PL/Ch midfield engine is not 'past it'?

Press.loving ? Bollox, and.tbe same.goes.for your ridiculous statement about his father.

He had a house in Ferring/East Preston about 6 years ago. Saw him drive his Lambo around.

I think Frank Lampard Senior is/was living there, although it's owned by Junior.

No , not when used in the right way , how.old was gigg's when he stopped playing ?

 

[Soulman]

Still has apparently and had some work done on it recently. Kingston Gorse.

Giggs was keeping himself fit (in various ways) and did not go off for the silver dollar playing Mickey Mouse football for a period.

 

[marlowe]

He had a house in Ferring/East Preston about 6 years ago. Saw him drive his Lambo around.

So on the assumption that he would want something closer to home Ferring FC would be an ideal fit for him. The only sticking points would be whether he would be prepared to drop down to Southern Counties Division 2 and could they afford his wages. I think this story could have legs.

 

[junior]

For those that think he would bring a "Media Circus" with him just break that down a bit and explain just what their definition of a 'Media Circus' is? Please.
