At this point, I will be happy when Lampard leaves this summer. Really irritated with his performances over the last few months.
Playing for himself instead of the team. Gunning for the goal-scoring record instead of doing the job the team needs him to do in midfield. To be disciplined tactically and keep the team's shape / balance. To allow the other guys (Hazard, Mata, Oscar, Moses) to shine.
Interesting view on Lampard. If he doesn't get another contract it would free up a fair bit of salary.
One player who I certainly would love to see out the door is bloody Fernando Torres. Just a pathetic individual.
People talk a lot about 'mental toughness' in professional sports, well Torres would have to be the mentally weakest athlete in any sporting league.
When he came out and said he didn't care if the team won or lost last season because he was playing poorly that infuriated me. I watch him when another Chelsea player scores and he can barely muster the effort to lift a finger in congratulations to his team mate.
I'd play Demba Ba over Torres any day of the week. Forget Rafa, TORRES OUT! (Rafa out too of course)
