Lampard 'to leave Chelsea in the summer for £8m'?

Has anyone else seen this?

Appareantly there's some 'little known fifa rule' - I've trawled the sports website though and can't find what it is but both Milan clubs are now interested in signing him

I think he should go aborad, it would stop all the talk that us English import the foreigeners but are reluctant to export our own boys

Something like if you've played X games for a club and you tell the club within 15 days of the seasons' end you can leave on a cut price. But all the big clubs in Europe have called a truce not to use the rule, and hence why Roman wants him to pen a new deal.

Thats a ridiculous rule! Who the hell thought that one up?

Well if there's a truce then its unlikely to happen I suppose, suspect a player one day will kick a club in the balls over it though

where did you hear this?

Since when?

Sounds like shite, otherwise Henry or Owen or Gerrard or Scholes or Giggs or anyone else would have profited from it surely?

He is one of the few England players that might do well abroad! Barcelona next year...?

Guillem Balague and Mr. Hunter and it's been mentioned in few of the papers. This was along with JM & FL to RM saga. But there is an actual rule in existence. But you have to take into various things as no. games played and how long they've been at the club.

I think he would as well, largely because he's quite a clever footballer using positioning to get what he wants (goals)

Both Inter and AC Milan are expressing interest apparently

Lampard's Success ='s Drogba's knock downs...

The rule if that if you are 3 years into your contract and you are past 28 years old you can buy out the remaining bit of your contract. Why the fuck do AC and Inter want him?

Inter is full of central midfielders, most better than Lampard don't see any point of him going there.

At AC he can indeed play where Seedorf plays and pop up to score regularly from midfield but even then, not going to see many knockdowns from Ronaldo or Kaka now is he.

Pity he managed to score almost twenty goals the season before Drogba joined

But Kaka will be at RM

JF's Knock downs

The Fifa rule states that players who have served three years of a contract they signed before the age of 28 can buy themselves out - as long as they give 15 days' notice.

so much for Fabregas' 45 year deal. Not worth the papia it's printed on

£8m??

we received £12m for him....so be surprised if he goes for less that that....

he'll end up at Madrid when Jose goes there

They keep renewing it every 2 years then, no big deal.

but how much of that £12m made it out of 'Arry's briefcase?

Except that he won't be 28 for nine years and the contract is seven years.

It says signed BEFORE the age of 28....

£12m...mainly because he was sold due to the Harry Redknapp sacking

They were talking about this on Revista La Liga the other week and apparently there's some "unwritten law" amongst Europes big clubs (maybe that's just G-14 though ) that none of them would go poaching eachothers players like this.


No one would want Lampard anyways.

Yep. Theres a "Truce"

I offer my condolences now for whichever club ends up with him if he moves.

£8m ?

He'd be a rip off at half that price.

I refuse to believe any club would even give flump half of the wages he can get/con out of chelsea as well

I hope for milan and inter's sake it is just paper talk but sadly for them it may actually be true.

Hmm... Kaká or Lampard? ... Stankovic or Lampard?

Oh it's a toughy.

yeah bot Chelsea are NOT a big club - they just have a rich owner!

8 million for Franky? Hmm im tempted. Obi Mikel has shown that he can step up to the task and it would allow Ballack time/space/everything on the pitch.

This was the rule we were going to use to sign Henry for approx. 15 million euros if we did sign him last summer.

Lampard would be better in La Liga and Serie A because the game is more technical and a lot slower. The players in those leagues can actually control a pass, which is probably why Gerrard never joined Real Madrid when he had the chance.

Add to the fact Lamps is still one of the best central midfielders around, £8m seems a bargain.
