And the conclusion of that conversation was obviously that it was never going to happen because he wouldn’t be interested, we couldn’t afford him and if he was open to a championship move he’d have better clubs after him than us.
Eccles?
Eccles Torp Rudoni is fine as a midfield. We do need more depth but it's not "the worst midfield in the league by a distance" as one overexcited poster called it.
It's another cognitive dissonance classic from SBT
"Sheaf has been shit all season, he needs dropping"
"Sheaf injured, that's it, we're getting relegated"
I like Sheaf but I think he would've benefitted from some time out the team, he's not played well recently. But dropping an established captain as a new manager is a bit of a no no so I can se why Lampard didn't do it. Not turning on him at all.
One of the main reasons I wanted Lampard was his fame, gravitas and Chelsea connections to attract players to the club. If that’s not happening why did we bother!
