Frank lampard

[the right footed denilson]

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

You sound like his agent.
If, at 38, he is better than any of our midfielders we should release them immediately.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

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

I imagine you thought 36 was past it also?

That's the age he was scoring goals for Man City in the prem

Not at all. 38 is though.

Frank Worthington 38 when he joined us and was brilliant.... just saying, I have no opinion either way.

 

[Marshy]

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

Bruno shows no sign of slowing down at 36... not that i think the deal will happen

Even if Lampard is REALLY REALLY good and 38?

That doesn't make any sense.

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.

Exactly this. I'd imagine it was issues like wage structure, the effect on team spirit and whether or not we actually needed him that would govern any decision to sign him.

If Hughton wanted him, that would be good enough for me all day long. I certainly don't imagine his age or fitness levels are relevant at all though.

There's countless players still playing well at 36. We have our own after all. But players who are 39 this year? Name some...

I'd love to be proven wrong.

 

[northstandsteve]

Johnny Russell it is then..

Francesco Totti.

41 this year

Not really , just responding to some of the more ridiculous posts describing him as fat and a big time Charlie.

Q

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

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

At this stage in the Albion game, it would be unbelievably tinpot to sign Fat Frank in any kind of playing capacity. Fully trust CH to have nothing to do with that kind of stunt.

Well that's one.

I very much doubt the story has any truth to it , but for some to describe him as a fat/media loving/big time Charlie is preposterous the bloke is a class act and model pro.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Well that's one.

So that proves it's possible.

How many do I need to list before you believe a 38 year old can still be good at football?

 

[Nobby]

Let's get Bobby Charlton in as well

about 15
Or just a team of 38 year olds

 

[Albumen]

That would be a "no" from you then

Unless you're a chelsea fan fawning for seasons past you wouldn't want him.
