Given that New York FC doesn't start playing until the 2015 MLS season, Lampard probably does need to go on loan to keep match fit but assumed he would join David Villa at the Australian City owned team.

yeah, but city?
he'll be doing a job that they could have a youngster doing i.e. probably not making the bench
Don't think it will happen, but City do have a shortage of homegrown players and no record to date of bringing through youngsters. Lampard's experience in the CL might also help.

Same owners I think mate.
Something like that.
Out of the two I'd still have Gareth Barry.
I've always thought they were quite different, Lampard really only contributes loads of goals from midfield, Barry (the occasional belter aside) is a more rounded midfielder, complete midfielder I suppose.
Exactly. We can get goals from the big fella now.
He must be worth a fortune, suckling of Roman for beards, now moving over to the sheiks!

That fat frank deal smells rotten but I am not savvy enough on the workings of FFP to know how exactly but have to wonder if they can use their affiliated clubs in Melbourne,Yokohama and NY to move players around different leagues using the loan system but have no worries about transfer fees as it was their sister club that paid for said player.
I think City have just found a way to get around FFP that UEFA can do sweet FA about. The same way that the chavs figured out under Frank Arnesen that hoovering up all the best young talent and loaning them out would pay dividends long term. Short term it also stopped any one else in Europe getting said players,then at a time which suits Chelsea they sell the player on to whom they want to.
Small middlesex club for life is right we have spent so no excuses,happy with some of our business but could be happier.
Just as an aside, new manager,new plan/project/whatever, if this fails to get you to champs league is it going to be the manager and players fault again or are you all going to realise finally that if the man at the top keeps firing because it's gone tits up,maybe he's the problem. Levy I mean not Joe Lewis.

Udderly delicious
Didn't fancy going to City's Australian team (Melbourne? Adelaide?). Cant see FF getting much game time though. Milner must be *** off though. Not a direct replacement granted but similar.
