Or just a team of 38 year olds
I can get a 5 a side team with a sub.
Shilton, Maldini, Giggs, Totti, Stanley Matthews and Roger Milla. I don't mind playing either.

I'm bored of the rumours now honestly. But that said - get him in on a rolling contract if the numbers add up, use him to guide the younger lads on how to be a model professional (I'd include Dale Stephens in this - he needs to check himself before he wrecks himself but that's a whole other thread), use him sparingly but effectively, and give him the option of an extra year if we make it this season. Get him on the courses to do his badges.... I think we could be as good for him as he could be for us. Plus the "brand exposure" couldn't hurt at all...

So Ryan Giggs played for another 2 years after he was officially past it.
Amazing.

As I said, played at the top level continuously, not playing pat-a-cake in the US of A..
Has a house in Goring, possibly something to do with that. Not going to happen IMHO. I also think it's us that's not interested rather than the other way around

For those that are interested Frank was a partner in Ingenious Film Partners LLP, a business found to have created artificial losses to give members huge tax relief, so in addition to the tags "fat" and "old" you could probably add "tax dodging" too.

And to think he was very vocal in his support for David Cameron in the previous decade. Wonders will never cease.

Not quite sure why so many are negative about this. There is a massive advantage of having him in and around the squad and I am sure the likes of Stephens, Kayal, Norwood would benefit greatly from it, as they probably have from Sidwell. I doubt he would be fit enough to come and take a midfield spot straight away but could he be a very good and experienced addition for the run in then probably yes.
If we were talking about other similar stature of player but with a reputation of being a **** then Id be worried, but Lampard is a total gentleman and seems to be in the rare breed of grounded footballers to me. Can't see what is not to like.

On a pay as you play basis he would be an excellent singing,
for our FA Cup run to give the first team midfielders plenty of rest

Now Companies House has a Beta with historic data and documents you can see all the celebs, and it is fascinating to see the names of the partners who hastily resigned from these dodgy tax schemes the moment the shit hit the fan.
'Men of the people' like Robbie S, Ant and Dec, David Beckham were all over these schemes.

I am of the opinion that CH knows what he wants and whilst i think Lampard was a good footballer not sure what he would offer this year let alone next year. We are tight for money and my preference is a 'nippy' forward if it is a choice. if he came for little and to help with the challenge and CH was keen then great.
