Chelsea Transfers: 5 Reasons They'd Be Mad To Let Frank Lampard Go

4. He Is Still an Influential Player

Chelsea are unbeaten in all 11 Premier League matches that Frank Lampard has appeared in this season, winning 10. That is proof if ever you needed it that Chelsea still need Lampard. His match-winning goals against Everton were just the latest in a series of game-changing performances that have helped Chelsea climb back up the Premier League table after a fairly lackluster start to their current campaign. Fernando Torres has been as inconsistent as ever this season and though he has now finally rediscovered his shooting boots, for the time being, Lampard has been a more consistent player than the Spaniard, and you don't see anyone asking Torres to leave. Lampard is also a vocal and commanding presence in the centre of Chelsea's midfield. If players aren't performing to his standards, he will be the first one to let them know. He is a player capable of grabbing his side by the collar and hauling them back from the brink.
