Frank Lampard in Bedworth (39 Viewers)

[alexccfc99]

Must have spent a good two hours at the supporters club last night - Nothing off limits, everyone in the room who wanted one got a photo/quick one on one convo

For a global superstar a really down to earth, humble and funny bloke - We are lucky to have him represent our club, PUSB

Frank after leaving Bedworth…

Any comments of interest?

Any comments of interest?

He divulged what got him sent off against Burnley, everyone was asked to put their phones away at that point though

Any comments of interest?

And that Kitch was banging on his door asking why he couldn't get a game before Xmas - But said it was in a positive way as opposed to kicking up a fuss and a strop and he really respected him for it and he hasn't let him down since

I would also hedge your bets on Grimes being our captain next season he absolutely loves him

 

[Viktor17]

Nice. Good to hear.

Hope he’s got them fired up tomorrow

 

[MTK]

I think you’re right. We are lucky to have him representing us. He seems a great balance of passion with reason, modern and forward thinking but with a footballing history himself that is the equal of anyone’s. I really hope he can achieve his ambitions with us and we keep him. Well done to Doug as well for making what was clearly massively the right choice from the m m managerial options available at the time as well

I've heard he's just handed in his notice

Is that cause he had to go to Bedworth

 

[torchomatic]

House hunting?

Sheaf stripped of the captaincy and or sold??

Sheaf is almost certainly going to be sold. He'll be in the last year of his contract, and was rumoured to be wanting to leave last summer.

With his injury record this season, we probably can't even afford to offer him a decent contract, he's 27, so we'll try to get as much as we can for him.

Suprised his Bentley weren't on bricks when he come out

Said this when he came in, he's the obvious choice as one of only a handful of players who won't often be rotated out of the squad.

Suspect the only reason is didn't happen immediately was to make sure it didn't piss off the rest of the squad with someone walking through the door and immediately being made captain.

Become a bit of a joke this season with the constant changing.

Trouble is I think the options of how he could go to will be severely limited and the price much lower than we'd normally want/expect.

Supposedly last year he only attracted interest from Southampton and Luton, and this year he's been injured a lot and not exactly dominating games when he has played.

Did he risk wearing one of his expensive watches?

We have a year option on him, which I suspect we will enforce so he could yet stay.

Suspect hes earmarked to go as we will need money to do stuff with squad.

A few video captures of last night

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Did anyone in the audience at Bedworth last night ask if Frank is going to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Why was he sent off

 

[Jamesimus]

Why was he sent off

Yeah I’d also like to know this / what he said here!

Yeah, he's definitely gone down in value since last summer. But it may still be the last chance age-wise to get a reasonable return for him.

Last summer we would have been holding out for between the 8m - 12m - if there's any truth in the rumours.

This summer we'd probably be hoping to get 5m-8m due to his injury record, if there's any takers. Which is still a reasonable amount of money for a 27 year old, and better than losing him for nothing or letting his value disintegrate with age/injuries.

Did not know about the option, that changes the dynamic slightly in our favour.

But still, with his age and injury record, if we can get a reasonable sum we should probably offload him - with the benefit of hindsight, we should have sold him last summer, we won't be able to get anywhere near the same figure now he's a year older and spent most of the season on the treatment table.
