Burnley is a possible but Laws is an ex-player and they have limited finances and not such great ambitions. Dowie will stay at Hull if he keeps them in the league or comes close to. Anything could happen at Portsmouth.
Rafa and Zola will move on. City will bin Mancini if they don't make the top four and go for Mourinho....who will leave Inter and move to either us, Man City or Real Madrid.
So the morning trash papers are claiming that Jose Mourinho will become Real Madrid's next manager (no surprise there then)
But they are also claiming Jose will launch an audacious bid of £30 million for Frank Lampard.
Firstly, let's look at it from Real perspective, a team that has shelled out nearly £60 million, on younger and believe or not better player Kaka, aren't going to buy Lampard, unless Kaka is sold. Can it involve a potential swap deal, a loan, I am not sure.
Secondly, let's look at it from Jose's perspective 2 years ago he offered a miserly £8 million for Lampard. So why would he pay £22 million for a player who is 2 years older.
I'd imagine quite a few fans will be out there saying, Lampard is worth more than £30 million, he is a legend, he is irreplaceble.
A legend he is, but irreplacable he ain't.
Let's be frank (no pun intended) here, Frankie Lampard in my opinion epitomises what Chelsea is today. However, he is a limited footballer. Yes he scores goals like no other, yes he takes a decent penalty, yes he works very hard on the pitch.
But, he can't pick out a visionary pass, he can't get past players with ease, he lacks pace and technique. Don't get me wrong he is better than most, but if we want to play attractive football like Barcelona or Arsenal, we need a player in Lampard's position that not only scores goals, but more importantly creates them at ease.
He's had a great season. However, fans are so fickle, they are quick to forget, just how poor Lampard was playing for the first half of the season. They are quick to forget how he went missing in a number of games, most importantly twice against Inter. He barely touched the ball! But of course he scores 4 against dire Pompey and a couple here and there and all is forgiven and forgotten.
It may have been his most prolific season to date, sadly it's been far from his best.
Like, I've said Frankie Lampard epitomises what Chelsea is today, efficient, combative, occasionally pleasing on the eye, but sad to say isn't creative or pacey.
£30 million for Frank Lampard, I'd bite their hand off.
P.S. maybe they'll offer £30 million for Drogba, and £30 million for Terry as well?
