Moderators shouldn't this be in the Transfer thread by anychance
I hardly doubt that Chelsea will release Lampard since he is ENglish and they lack a lot of English players in their starting 11...
its only him and Johnson, Terry and Bridges....
And also Chelsea wants to have a core of English players that pull the team forward so I think its out of the question
First of all they will never accept a bid
and even if he would have some kind of a clause
Chelsea would offer 50% more in wages then our top offer just to make sure he stays....
Didn't seem to bother them in the Vialli days, I don't think it'll bother them now.. as long as they get the results. The situation was even worse back then!
Okay, I haven't heard... to be honest, I still dont know Emerson.
Is Lampard and Emerson alike?
If Juve give away Nedved to Chelsea, then we definitely need to have Lampard going our way. Trez going to Chelsea will hurt us, but it should compensate if they give us around 15M.
But yes, I agree that Lampard is similar to Maresca. I think we could use them on rotation if not together.
that would be a very.. unwise .. trasnfer eva... trezeguet is a proven serie A performer... for a direct swap with Lampard who just had a breakthrough season?.. he at least worth Lampard+15 min ......
come to ask me i think he is worth even more ....best player in the PL this season IMO ...ok Henry might have done a bit better but if you see this guy play you would understand ...he is amazing

lampard wont replace nedved though. they differ in style of play. it all comes down to our coach. deschamps plays a 4-4-2, lampard can suit that, but with maresca there, is there a need for him? this is the whole point, lampard isnt a NEED, he is a WANT...and i think we should ignore wants at the moment and go for needs first. Ie. a creative playmaker, world class DM and defenders.
I doubt so too. He's a fine player, and will only improve with time. Is suspect Nedved was no better at his age.
As for the probability of him being available, well it's rumoured that he's unhappy at being on less money than bit-part players like Crespo despite being the linch-pin of the team. He was linked to Man Utd already, but that's unlikely as he'd be competing with Scholes for a position.
