Frank Lampard has signed a new 5 year contract which keeps him at Chelsea until 2014. This is, at last, great news for the club and means Lampard will see out his career at Chelsea, when he will be 35 years old.
Of course all the hype in the media about football contracts might lead you to believe that they are a waste of time but as far as I see it this is pretty much a guarantee that Lampard will be staying with Chelsea.
I see it as my final big contract and I will play out my days at Chelsea, I want to finish my career at Chelsea.
It is something I’ve said many times and, after signing this contract, I am very happy and positive I will finish as a player here.
I’ve had seven great seasons here and now I can have many more. (Well 5 at least!)
It’s been a difficult summer for many reasons and that was one of them. A lot of things were said that were untrue, some things were said that were slightly true and that was frustrating.
Now we can put that to bed and concentrate on football.
I’m sure we’ll win the title this season, with Scolari in charge there will be no messing and no time for players who think they’re bigger than the club.
Of course every football club has or has had a player that thinks they are above and beyond everybody and everything simply because they are paid so much and they’re loved by football fans. Now I think fans and clubs are changing and they should demand the service and loyalty from players that their wages demand.
