Didnt know lampard had only been charge for 3 months?

In all seriousness though, he's been by far our best outfield player overall since Frank took over, and it's not even close.

5 years I agree is a bit steep, but Ive got no issues of giving one of our better performers at a good age a new deal.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

deserves a new deal and has been excellent under lampard. 5 years would be typical bill though.

 

[Wrighty]

Don't shoot me, but I think a five year deal works perfectly if he continues to play like he is , get another 2-3 years out of him and then sell on.

5 years is very long in my opinion, but it does help the club in a number of ways to.

Not sure i trust him wholly, to maintain his form, say if Lampard wasn't here next year.

The lad deserves a new contract, he's been in very good form, but five years is madness. That level of security can have a demotivating effect and, as we have seen in the past, a demotivated Iwobi is not an asset.

100%. 3 years is about right. The rumoured 5 is pure madness

Yeah nothing against a new contract. He just doesn't deserve 5 years based on Lampard's management

I think we can find someone else who understands he's a central player. Honestly maybe even better than Frank who has still moved him to the right after making substitutions and Iwobi is still not that good out there.

Hes only been moved in games in which he was poo.

It doesn't matter, he's only getting worse with the change.

Just take him off.

The idea that moving him 10 yards to the right makes him lose the ability to play football is amusing to me.

I don't know what to tell you players can do certain things and can't do others

It's not even that. He gets moved because we actually have depth in midfield whereas we have had a distinct lack of depth in wide positions both defensively and offensively due to injuries or just not being good enough.

Iwobi is probably our most adaptable player who also has the most energy and is our only real creativity. So rather than lose that energy and creativity from the pitch, he gets moved because he is a better option in those positions than the backups we have for them.

Not sure it will be a core requirement to any future managerial interview process, Its a roll of the dice to me mind mate, i mean three more experienced manages preceding this one decided to play him elsewhere.
