foxy boxing Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 3 hours ago, davieG said: Premier League champions Leicester have been cut into 8/1 by SkyBet to sign former Chelsea star Frank Lampard. The 38-year-old midfielder is available on a free transfer after leaving MLS side New York City, following the expiration of his contract. SkyBet have made Leicester new fourth favourites in the race to sign the former England international, with Crystal Palace out in front at Evens, West Ham United at 11/2 and Chelsea listed third at 7/1 Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri is obviously a big fan of the midfielder - the 38-year-old was the Italian's first signing when he was Chelsea boss in 2001. Whether Lampard, at his age, could still do a job in the Premier League is debatable, but he would be worth signing just for the experience and know-how he would bring to the dressing room. His goalscoring record form midfield is second to none, with 271 goals in 904 career appearances. With the January transfer window just around the corner, there will surely be a handful of clubs who would love to have Lampard in their squad for the second half of the season. Could Ranieri make a move for his former player and provide his side with a much needed boost? http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/12/02/odds-slashed-leicester-cut-into-81-to-sign-former-champions-leag/ Claudio will want Drogba next
Wymsey Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 No, unless he wants a wage decrease. If he ever comes on his current wage, the likes of Vardy in particular would be unhappy and their performances would not be best like now.

Footballwipe Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 What does it say when the current champions of England could be sniffing around for a 38 year-old midfielder. It's like something out of the early days of Mandaric or Sven. I know times are hard for us but really, come on guys.
StriderHiryu Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 Depends on his physical condition. When he went to Man City he was surprisingly good. Better to give young players a chance IMO but could be useful to have around and help develop the midfielders. Potentially also useful in the last 20 in tough games / Europe. Would prefer other options but could see it happening and not against it.

Buzzell Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 Can we get Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell, Stevie G and Shearer too!?
foxoffderby Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 Player/coach why not? would be great to bring him on for 20 mins. Could be inspirational like Esteban
Jon the Hat Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 As a coach who is registered to play why not. He might well have played this week with Drinky out.
lee7 Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 It will never happen but Id take him any day of the week over Amartey. someone whose calm on the ball and can pick a pass.
UPinCarolina Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 Might demand an arm and a leg and Claudio's salty crocodile tears as wages, but staying up *is* worth quite a bit of money...
Leicesterpool Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 Maybe but I couldn't see it happening my money would be on him going somewhere as a player manager. Palace could be looking for a new manager soon, could they be tempted to take the risk?
desertfox2 Posted 2 December 2016 Posted 2 December 2016 Could be a good idea on a kind of Kevin Phillips type of deal. Experience could be very useful.

Helped keep us up though didn't he? Couldn't give a toss what players are like in the dressing room if we're doing the business on the pitch. It's almost gotten too matey at the moment.
AyewJoking Posted 3 December 2016 Posted 3 December 2016 its FRANK LAMPARD!!! cant be any worse than what we have???
boots60 Posted 3 December 2016 Posted 3 December 2016 He was in an estate agents in Oadby this week. Honest.
