He'll make the subs bench.....Lambert will be Liverpools plan B and is also an excellent penalty taker.....with 7 players allowed to be named as substitutes he'll be there ! :wink:

I think you have to look at who the alternatives would be.....
Defoe,hardly played this season and now in Canada.
Carroll,out injured for most of the season.
Rodrigues,misses the World Cup through injury.

Then you are down to the likes of Crouch,Agbonlahor and Bent :guns: not sure if I've missed a star striker,somewhere ??

So not that many options,I guess. :|

True, but I would still prefer him to come on to ruffle a few feathers if we're chasing a game.
He did ok for West Ham in the last few games of the season.

Let's hope there's a clause in it to spend some cash and improve the squad depth! :cuss:

I'd be mildly embarrassed if it were roles reversed, and Spurs had had it printed on a t-shirt during the period of recent FA cup winners, Champion's League winners and, soon to be, World Cup winners.

Hardly something to gloat about... :?

:cry:

But he'll be back!

I think he'll go to New York. There's nothing else for him to achieve in England and it'll be a great experience.

Fare thee well Frank and thank you! :bow:

Yup, a new contract was on the table. Reduced terms as you would expect for a one-year extension for a 36yo, who wouldn't be the obvious 1st choice anymore.

One of the greatest players to have graced the premier league and he has the goals and assists to prove it!

His statement:

'When I arrived at this fantastic club 13 years ago I would never have believed that I would be fortunate enough to play so many games and enjoy sharing in so much success.

'This club has become part of my life and I have so many people to thank for the opportunity. Firstly, Ken Bates, who put his neck on the line to sign me as a young player and without him I would not have even begun this experience.

'Roman Abramovich, the man who saved our Club and took us all to new levels. His desire to push the Club to the top of the football world has rubbed off on everyone.

'All the managers and coaches who have helped me develop my game during the time I have been here. I have learnt from every one of them.

'All the brilliant team mates who I have been lucky enough to train and play alongside for so long. Not just their football qualities but also the friendships I have gained along the way.

'I'd also like to give a special mention to all the staff and people behind the scenes at the club who do not receive the glory but without them the Club would simply not function.

'The club will move forward, and as a Chelsea man I have no doubt that with the quality of the players that are there, they will continue with the success that we have all enjoyed over the past seasons.

'Finally and most importantly, I would like to thank the Chelsea fans. I believe they are the greatest fans in world football. You have supported me from the moment I arrived. Not only on the pitch, but in difficult moments in my personal life off the pitch. I will never forget.

'I feel honoured to have shared so many special times with you. Bolton, Amsterdam, Munich, the list goes on and on. I, and we as a team, could not have achieved those moments without your support.

'Whatever the next challenge is for me I will always be amongst you and have Chelsea in my home and in my heart. Hopefully I will get to see you all soon to say goodbye properly. In the meantime thank you for the memories and keep making history!'
