I think that, in light of what is going on with CRon at ManU, Chelsea are making and example of Lampard. This is their line in the sand. I wonder who will win, the players or the clubs?

Personally, I could care less either way. Well, two days ago, I didn't care either way. Now, I'm ready for him to move on. Anyway, as for the supporters, Lampard is seen as a pillar of the club. He's a legend. Other than aesthetically, Lampards 20-plus goals in three consecutive seasons has many supporters wondering how the club could possibly replace that kind of production. As for the club, I think they are more insulted than anything that he has refused each offer that has been presented. I mean 140k per week over four years is an absurd deal for a player of his age, yet he will not take it. I think holding out on his transfer is out of spite more than anything. Really, the club should just accept a 10mil offer and move on. Johonna, you asked why Chelsea supporters are up in arms over this whole ordeal. Personally, I could care less either way.

I have no idea which of the strikers will be out...I hope Mario stays (ie not loaned...he for sure won't be sold) and I'm sure Zlatan isn't going anywhere. Cruz is probably a bit old to go anywhere...Crespo is big enough of a name that teams would buy him despite his age. What did you guys think of Chivu last year? I was a little disappointed. I think he actually plays best as a defensive midfielder and not center back...the few games he was there he did well. As for Maxwell, he's definitely extremely underrated. The guy is amazing! Good luck to any of you that bid for a date with Moratti. I hope he isn't as crazy in person as he looks in photos. Forza Inter. Whoops…yes Chivu and Adri!

Kennedy Foundation of Europe. You get to watch the Milan Derby (the Inter home game, probably) with him in the Tribuna d’Onore. Right now the bid is 2,010 euro -- there is still a day left on the auction. http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220249466894 Hey, for all you fans with a little extra soldi: Massimo Morratti is auctioning a date with him on ebay for the Robert F.

Here is our mighty coach: <em>"This season? I don't think so. Why won't he? Well, it's not because we don't want him to but I'm sure Chelsea officials and Chelsea and don't want to sell him," stated Mourinho. "For the next season it will be easier for him to join me at Inter. I'm 100% sure in 2009/2010 he will be playing here."</em> http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/7482773.stm So there. We may have to wait a year for him. Or, this could just be more bargaining tactics. Well, Lampard is still not a done deal. Here is our mighty coach:

Probably the most underrated player on your squad, I don't know why he's not being offered a new contract. Swap you Molinaro for Maxwell. :) Maxwell is a Interista I would consider buying.

Thats four quality central defenders. i really hope that El Tractor moves back to the outside of the defense. Maxwell always looks more like a midfielder to me.

That is practically forever in football terms. Still, if you remember to count him, that is SIX forwards. I cant help but think that someone has got to go. He has been gone for a whole season.
