Wilkins: Sign Lampard Fergie!

‘He was fantastic [against Everton], wasn’t he?’ said Wilkins. ‘In the 11 games he’s played, he’s got six goals already.
‘This is the club’s decision to let him go – it’s nothing to do with Rafa Benitez - and in my opinion it’s the wrong decision. You need these older players to show the youngsters what it means to play for Chelsea.’

He’ll cost nothing, he’s about four years younger than Giggs and Scholes and he scores goals from midfield. He’s scored more goals this year than Carrick, Cleverley and Scholes combined.‘He’s comfortably got two or three more seasons in him. He won’t play 90 minutes every week but if he starts 20 games for Man United he’ll score them seven goals.’

I'd take him if we could get him in the jan transfer window. I'd take cole too.

Yes, I saw it in the other thread and posted regardless. titanic at your peril.

i'd sign wilkins tbh

Shameless abuse of power. Ban yourself.


I'd take fatty but not cole.

would definitely sign him. top player, even at 33.

Signing lampard would be a no brainer, I mean come on ffs.

What use could we possibly have for a goalscoring midfielder, who's won the league and champions league?

Anyone who wouldn't want lampard as part of our squad is stone mad imo.

It will never happen though. I would take both like a shot from a gun.

Id rather us keep the midfield we have rather than sign some journeyman who wasnt good enough for chelsea

With Ashley Cole you might even get one.

Wonder if Rooney would take the bullet?

I don't think he's the right colour.

He may not have the engine he used to have but he retains one of the finest footballing brains in the Prem, and you can never have too many of those in your squad.

Don't like the guy and don't think he'd come to us anyway (ego, wanting to be a big fish again and do a 'Becks' will be his choice I reckon)

But I'd take him for a couple of years if he would

Perfect for QPR.

Lampard and Anderson in the same squad

Better get another chef in too.

Lampard FFS

Not the same player once the deflections stopped happening.

Brings in to focus the paucity of drive in our midfield when i'm nodding in agreement at signing an over-the-hill chubbster being discarded from one of our rivals.

that's the £#%&!ing point, we don't have a midfield... however, this would be in addition to what we had.

He'd be a superb signing. Not to be tainted with the Terry @#%&!-Brush.

...rather than sign some journeyman who wasnt good enough for chelsea

a bit like Juventus signing the journeyman Pirlo who wasn't good enough for Milan perhaps ?!

ludicrous statement..

It's not that Lampard isn't good enough for Chelsea. It's that they've spent a shitload of money on midfielders and he is therefore surplus to requirements. No shame in taking a player in that circumstance.
