Lampard to Juve? (3 Viewers)

EDIT: added Poll. Lamps to Juve? yes or no

many people debate about this. Can he fit in a 4-4-2/4-3-3 or only 4-1-2-1-2 type formation is suitable only for him hence making it difficult for Ranieri to thinker it up?



Italian Press reports suggest that Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco is in London to present Chelsea with an offer for Frank Lampard.

The England international midfielder is believed to be determined to quit Stamford Bridge this summer after the departure of manager Jose Mourinho.

Juve made an unsuccessful approach last summer, but now appear to have a realistic chance of luring the unsettled star, who is under contract until 2009.

Bianconeri boss Claudio Ranieri launched the 29-year-old’s career when the Roman tactician signed Lampard for Chelsea from West Ham in 2001.

La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that the Cadetti champions would need to find £7m to reunite the two men in Turin.

Lampard is allegedly willing to accept a pay cut from around £4.2m to £3.4 in order to begin a fresh challenge in Serie A.

Such a move would certainly spell the end for troubled Portuguese summer signing Tiago Mendes.

Having expressed his frustration at a lack of first-team football, Tiago would be unlikely to stay and greet former teammate Lampard.

There are rumours that Fiorentina are waiting to pounce on the ex-Lyon man and will pay just half of the £7m Juve shelled out in the summer.

my first thought was why lampard. he is overrated, he is already 29, he is english and bla bla bla.

but for £7m? thats quite a bargain.

 

[jukazem]

price is not the concern for me. but if he comes, will the others(better chelsea ppl) follow? drogba or mourinho for instance. will juve be a more attractive club to make a move to? imo externalities are more important at the moment.

My guess is that Lampard will wait and see what Mourinho does.

It's good to keep contact with Lampard, but if Mourinho wants him at a major club, I guess he'll go there.

I know it's only a rumour but

imo juve should force it the other way around or through whoever juve can get first, rather than sit back and watch. get one of the three (mourinho, lampard or drogba) and than let the 1st aqusition do the talking.

 

[hoong_earn]

ranieri doing so well right now, it's hard to mourinho to come in. meantime milan is doing ridiculously bad, very likely mourinho would go there.

After Abramovich v Mourinho, can you really see Berlusconi v Mourinho? Milan managers have to conceede that Silvio will interfere & I cant see Jose signing up for anymore of that to be honest.

You want to take the whole Chelsea squad over??

 

[Mark]

Unnecessary, we are full of mids and if we really want a good one then we should look for younger emerging stars or Gerrard.

gerrard is only english player I would want to Juve

 

[Naggar]

man that'd be awesome if he comes!

 

[jukazem]

gotta move fast before grant settle things.

gerrard is only english player I would want to Juve

sisoko thinks liverpool is b*$$@r than juve. what do you think gerard has in mind.
or are you saying no to any englishmen.

You want to take the whole Chelsea squad over??

hell no. but i have some 4-5 players in my mind to pick from.

This is the world's worst rumor and everytime Juve are linked to Fat Frank I almost have a heart attack. Who needs an over the hill fat guy on our team? He's a dirty player who doesn't have the skill he had in his prime to back it up. Lets not live in the past. The only person on Chelsea I wouldn't mind at Juve is Drogba and really the only Englishman would be Gerrard but, that definitely will not be happening.

Cesc Fabregas???

p.s: don't tell this to fred weasley :toast:

 

[Thunderball]

I don't know how this can be considered a bad rumor... he's heads and tails better than any central midfielder we have, and any that we have been linked to except maybe Diego. He has lots of CL and International experience, and is a complete midfielder.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Frank Lampard for 7m is a bargain.You might not like him,but he still head and shoulders above our other midfield players.

He is nothing like any of our midfield players, so they can't be compared.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Comparison doesnt really depend on being totally alike.Messi is a better player than all our midfielders,but we dont have a midfielder like him.Does that mean that they cant be compared?
