Chelsea Transfers: 5 Big Money Summer Moves Abramovich Must Make

By Grabbo /

2. Frank Lampard

What does this man have to do to get a new contract? Chelsea will extend the contract of a player whose on-and-off -field exploits have dragged the club's reputation through the mud, but not of one who has been an ambassador for his club, consistently scored 10 or more goals a season for a decade, and broken numerous goal scoring records along the way. All from midfield. At 34 he looks just a effective as he did 5 years ago, finding the net 13 times this season despite being somewhat limited in his appearances for Chelsea who seem content to let him leave for free in the summer, possibly even to rivals Manchester United, who do not shun the aged- just look at Ryan Giggs. His sky high wages may be the sticking point due to his age, with Chelsea's board seeking to use that for a younger option but his experience and talent is irreplaceable no matter how much money Roman has.
