are u joking me? omg id rather have giannichedda over him, lampard is crap, he brings nothing to the team and his failure showed at the wc, he was an embaressment
Lampard is the Permiership's top midfield goalscorer for 2005-2006. It's not his fault that Eriksson is an idiot coach, and it's not his fault when the entire English team chockes in every single important tourney

Ronaldinho, Henry also chocked during the WC, does that mean they are crap?


mostly from the penalty spot, and against mickey mouse teams in the prem. lampard never shows up for england nor in europe.
bull****. Most of his goals are deflections. They are still goals though. Lampard scored 16 last season I believe, so an average of 1 goal a game. Are you going to tell me that out of 20 teams, 16 of them are crap? By the same logic Del Piero and Trezeguet aren't profilic goalscorers since most of the goals are against crap teams like Chievo and Lecce.

Lampard never shows up for England? your right, but then again who does? plus he was employed in the same position and role as Gerrard and everybody knows that those 2 can't work well together since they do the exact same thing.

I don't want to analyse the playing style of the players that you've just mentioned but I'll try briefly. By the way, I don't mean that he is the best but I mean more that his style will suit us in this period very much.

1) Kaka and Pirlo don't do much efforts in defending.
2) Xabi Alonso don't play directly behind the strikers besides being slow, he is a great shooter and passer as well though.
3) Gerrard's defending role isn't clear, Lampard is tougher.
4) De Rossi is the best Italian talent during year 2006. Even though, we can't depend on him as a center midfielder, his creativity is low besides being slow as well. I prefer him to be a defensive midfielder though,
5) Vieira is past his best and he can't suit us now, simply, because he is one of the traitors.
6) Ballack is a bug in Chelsea's midfield now.
7) The only one that I prefer to Lampard is the dark beast aka Essien. He is the best defensive midfielder in Europe alongside Gattuso, in my opinion. What is more , he is drastically quick without the ball, he attacks well and I'm pretty sure that he can play role on pitch except being a keeper.


I do prefer Fabregas as well. However, he isn't that fighter and he lacks the experience that we do need urgently in our midfield.
Lampard is vastly overrated defender. He is no much better than Schole in terms of defending. He makes a nuisance of himself in the defensive end, but still, by no stretch of imagination he can be classified as a good defender. I like Lampard as a person. I can imagine him working hard, and practicing till late when more technically gifted players went home giggling with girls. But as a player, he is limited. He is top class, no doubt. But I don't think he has enough extra edge perhaps more talented illuminaries have. Take Gerrard, for example. The Liverpool captain is far better at EVERY aspects of the game. Better tackler? Check. Better passer? Check. Better crosser on the run? Check. Better vision? Check. Better positional sense? Check.

Aside from some frantic running, and his terrific right foot, I can't Lampard excelling too much. He is far from "all rounder" many dub him to be. Anyhow, if somebody gave me Lampard only cost 8m then I will shoot him on the spot so that he won't change his mind. He is a top class professional by all means, and whilst I doubt he will be smash hit in Serie A, I don't think there are many obvious deals which fetch better players for the same price.

Speaking of Chelsea players, I think Diarra sound like an interesting prospect. He looks terrific on the ball, almost Patrick Viera like. It seems our scouts has done a good job finding a talent.

As a center midfielder, he does what he is asked to do on pitch very well. Lampard's defending role has been drastically minimised after the arrival of Essien. In fact, Lampard is better than Scholes when it comes to defending, moreover, he is much quicker than Scholes in covering his teammates. I know that Lampard isn't that skillful and he isn't well in narrow areas, but you've just said it, he is a very hard worker and that is the thing that we do need.
I'm a fan of Gerrard and I've been watching him since he was 19 years old, but when I compare him to Lampard, the latter has the edge in some skills and also Gerrard is better in some aspects. Gerrard has a heavy foot and Lampard's swerve is lethal, both of them are perfect long ball passer, however, Gerrard's outside pass is more accurate, Lampard is very consistent and you can check the Premier league statistics for the past four years. Lampard scores more than Gerrard; fact.

Anyways, What I do care about who is more beneficial to Juventus and the most important question is, do you think that this may happen in the near future?
I can't see both of them joining us, but I think that Lampard can leave Chelsea, whereas, I don't see Gerrard do the same thing.

SHOCK FOR BLUES Yanks want Lamps


FRANK Lampard is at the top of a secret wanted list of major European stars being lined up to follow David Beckham to America.

Chelsea's midfield ace will get a mega-bucks offer to play for Chicago Fire as Major League Soccer seeks one more big name for its new season.

Talks aimed at attracting an extra "marquee player" will begin this week when the 13 MLS clubs start their pre-season training work.

And there are also plans to import up to another dozen top British-based players as part of a planned progression of the American game.

Lampard is being targeted under a new FIFA rule which means he could quit Chelsea for a fee of only £8million if he chose to this summer.

Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan also want to make use of the regulation by which players who have served three years of a contract they signed when under the age of 28 can buy themselves out if they give 15 days' notice at the end of the season.


Chelsea expect they can beat off interest from Europe, but the fascination of the project to make football the major game in the US might bring a different challenge.

Chicago want a world name to rival the glitz that Beckham will be bringing to Los Angeles, and see the England midfield ace - little over a year ago named the second best player on the planet behind Ronaldinho - as having the perfect profile to work with sponsors that will help finance a £1m-a-month wage packet.

Significantly Lampard, like Beckham, is contracted to sportswear giants Adidas, who are sponsoring all 13 teams when this season's MLS gets under way in April. Eight of those clubs assemble this week in Bradenton in Florida for training camps where they will step up their efforts to import new recruits.

British-based agent Neil Sillett, son of former Coventry boss John, flew to Florida yesterday to help complete the headhunting list of players.

He said: "It wouldn't be fair to confirm individual names, but it is correct that the Americans want one more 'marquee' player to go alongside David Beckham."

I think it's hard to compete with American clubs over him, and his wage is an obstacle, I guess. Although I like him, I don't think he'll come ever...

lampard is still young. I don't think he will go to USA till after he is 32, and almost finished. Cause now he is earning good money and is a competitor

For Lampard to approve of leaving Europe to join an American club, this may happen and he'll earn 5 or 6 times more than if he joins any team in Europe or even if he renews his contract with Chelsea. But for sure, his career will end at the time he starts to play anywhere but Europe. In other words, he'll finish himself as a footballer but not as a money maker.

Well my family and friends in the US all know about Lamps 3 billion shots a game routine, id say Lamps is quite well known.

Lampard is vastly overrated defender. He is no much better than Schole in terms of defending. He makes a nuisance of himself in the defensive end, but still, by no stretch of imagination he can be classified as a good defender. I like Lampard as a person.

I agree , especially regarding the toughness facter....Stevie G is hard, fookin Gerrard as the scouse say, but Lamps isnt even Schole terrier tough, he merely runs about to get more of the ball.

"There have always been numerous options available to Frank," Kutner added. "When we did the last contract Juventus were desperate to sign Frank and he always maintained that as long as he got parity with the other players that had come in since his previous contract - players like Juan Sebastian Veron and Hernan Crespo - he would be staying at Chelsea and eventually they agreed to that.

"It's nice when a club like Juventus puts pressure on your employer but at the time it was something Frank never wanted to consider. He wanted to stay at Chelsea and the situation is the same now."

Mods, i was looking at similar topic or a place where the latest news regarding Lampard has been discussed but i couldn't find it.
Please, lock this topic if the Bettega- Lampard's manager meeting has been discussed.

http://www.goal.com/it/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=257166

According to Gazzetta , Bettega was in London yesterday where he had lunch with Steve Kutner , Lampard's manager !
Translation is required please. :pint:

EDIT: I forgot Cannavaro+Gilberto/Frings+Robinho/Pato. :D
I go for Dainelli, Ribery, Cannavaro, Gilberto, Frings and Lampard. I'm not a fan of the rest of your list though. :p

More or less they are just guessing which are the players Juve may buy this summer and they aren't saying something we don't know ( apart from the Bettega-Kutner info)

They say we're in good position to get Barzagli. Luisao is also an option who won't cost us much but Secco would prefer if we can swap him with Miccolli. Pepe and Dainelli are also mentioned as possibille transfers in defensive department.
As for the midfield, Salihamidzic and Marcchionni would take over Camo's place, Nedved's and Zanetti's place in the team is certain, while Sissoko would be an alternative to Lampard * .
Tacchinardi will be back, while Almirion and Mavuba, who is Deschamp's favourite, may aswell join Juve.

If Trez won't renew his contract then Klose or Toni could replace him, or possibly Suazo or Gilardino who are both younger and less expensive than the duo mentioned above.
At last, they mention Huntelaar for whom Juve may be a possibile destionation.


* I allready translated the part about Lampard. Bettega was in London yesterday where he was seen in one Italian restaurant having lunch with Frank Lampard's agent Steve Kutner.
Lampard is over 28 years old and he can buy his contract from Chelsea. He won't cost much ( 8m£ = 12m Eur) and perhaps his transfer to Juve was the main reason Bettega went to London and had lunch with his agent.
Although, we should try to find out whose agent this Kutner guy is apart from Lampard's. Because maybe it was totally different player Bettega and Kutner talked about.
