Frank Lampard will be sorely missed after bidding farewell to Chelsea | Barney Ronay

Midfielder has always shown intelligence and an enduring spirit during his 13 years at Stamford Bridge but his early career at West Ham was dogged by carping and resentment So, farewell then Frank Lampard. The news that Lampard intends to leave Chelsea, with Major League Soccer his most likely destination, brings down the curtain on one of the Premier Leagues most constantly fine, gracefully conducted, and yet somehow still, for some, oddly undervalued careers. Lampard…

Hammers ‘sign’ Barcelona’s £30m superstar

Well, not exactly.  We’re all well used to some of the most outrageous transfer rumours flying around during a window, and we occasionally see a couple happened for real (Carlos Tevez coming to West Ham wasn’t exactly a run of the mill transfer rumour that became reality).

A move by West Ham for the best player produced by the club since Moore, Hurst and Peters (and yes I’m counting Brooking!) was always unlikely given the fans’ antipathy for a player who, supposedly, was only selected …
