Lampard's Chelsea contract talks collapse

Frank Lampard is set to leave Chelsea this summer.
The News of the World says Lampard is reluctantly poised to quit Chelsea after contract talks between him and the club sensationally collapsed.
He is now likely to complete a move to either Barcelona, Real Madrid or Juventus - unless Chelsea make a dramatic and unexpected last-ditch attempt to keep him.
But one Stamford Bridge insider warned: "That is highly unlikely. This looks like the end of the road for Frank and Chelsea."
The news comes after an emergency board meeting failed to agree a new offer for the England midfielder.
-----Well, i have to say i didnt see this coming. A big loss
to Chelsea, but a bigger gain for Steve Sidwell who looks like his
chances of being brought on as a sub grows ever
bigger!!!
Who will pick him up? Will he stay in England or leave
for Italy or Spain?

He will have to go to a club with more money than sense and there
are no english choices left. Juve for me.

Don't believe everything you read in that top rated trash
paper.If he goes then Sidwell from Reading is a great replacement
for Chelsea.

He better come to either Arsenal, the Phoenix, or Canterbury
United.

Wiith the cash us Hammer's now have to splash it's not unreasonable, but I think he'll stay in England with a big club - who's the last Englishman to excel in Spain?

Arsenal's season has been riddled with injuries, so we were
not up to par. As for Gallas hes had a great season while hes
played. Solid at the back with toure.

Beckham did not excel by any means of the word. At his
best he was serviceable, at his worst he was atrocious, the last 2
seasons he's been a bench player, he's been steadily derided on the
international scene, and Real Madrid have become perennial
strugglers. And we all know about the latest
developments.

Last Pom to do anything in Spain really was McManaman - other than
that Laurie Cunningham anyone - or old Lineker. PROAK2007-05-29

I'd say Lineker is probably Britain's last successful export to
Spain with Steve Archibald shortly before him. More recent ones
have been mediocre, Michael Owen anyone?
Beckham was (predictably) a success commercially but less
effective on the field. Sums up his whole career, really.
Oh, and Laurie Cunningham, Orient legend. Died in a car
accident in Madrid not long after he'd retired. Sad.
Nix, Leyton Orient and Alloa Athletic supporting schmuck.

There's no way Lampard will go to Arsenal:
A. We couldn't afford him (limited funds).
B. We don't need another central midfielder (particularly given our limited funds).
C. I would not want him there.

If he leaves it will be Barca, I'm certain of that. The only other
option might be back to West Ham, if the Icelandic cookie monster
opens his cheque book and guarantees a few more big signings.

Are you kidding? It's our illegal signings that do the best ;)

I would love to see Lampard stay in England and play for a lower
cut englash squad. it brings back come entertainment back into
football. Right now its just, if your rich you win.

For the money they would end up paying Lamps (if what they say
he wants from Chelsea is true) then I hope he doesn't come back to
West Ham. Apparently Scott Parker is top of Curbs wish list and I'd
prefer it if we signed him.
Besides, I haven't forgotten the way he left last
time.

Yep, Liverpool have certainly got value for money out of one of them

If I had to put money on it I would say Tevez is going to chelsea.
Word has it he still hasn't forgiven Curbs for not playing him when
he first joined as manager. And Tevez has already public said it is
an 'honour' to be linked with Chelsea. Sounds like code for
'I hope I'm going to Chelsea'.

There's lots of rumours floating round about him. I've also heard that he is going to Spain.
I'm hoping that his friendship with Mascherano and all the Spanish speakers already at Anfield might be an influence.

Tevez will come to Chelsea and Lamps will stay - he deserves to
renegotiate his contract after the last 3 seasons scoring an
average 20 goals per season. He has been a major contributor
to our silverware collection over the last few years. Sure I
can agree with the downside of his game and his inability to
perform for England but he has given nothing but great service to
Chelsea since signing and I am sure he'll stay.
Its a major media beat up about Frank, JT and Jose and they
will all be there next season - sorry to disappoint all the
anti-Blues......
Tevez will come, Sidwell has joined, Glen Johnson will come
back, Tal Ben Haim will shore up our defence and we may even bring
Brazilian defender Alex back from PSV. Out with Bhoularouz,
Ferriera and Geremi.
We're going to be stronger than ever......and I can't
wait. Sheva has settled in now and will fire like he did in
Italy.....(I hope!)

Bet Fergies on the phone to him right about now.
What's sight without sound? Love without peace? Copulation without conception?

Darren Bent is still our number one target, which has become a
reality now Charlton have gone down, and would be available for far
less than the seventeen million pounds Hammers stumped up in the
last transfer window. Obviously I hope Tevez stays but Bent
is a more than able replacement!
