Despite Lampard being such a great player for the club I think that AVB needs to think about other options. If Modric comes in he will be a definite replacement but if AVB doesn't sign another creative midfielder I think Josh and Benayoun should be given more chances this season. Chelsea can then do what Man U did with Scholes and play him in important games for the club against tough opposition or when we need a win deseparetly. Our new midfield could be....
Ramires.........Mikel.........Modric ?
Ramires.........Mikel..........Josh
Ramires..........Mikel.........Benayoun
Ramires..........Mikel...........Lampard
This would give us a good variety of choices and making are play a bit more unpredictable. Lampard has been a legend for the club but its time we move on.
What our your thoughts on Lampards future at the club and our midfield?

Do you think AVB will actually drop Lampard though ?

If AVB wasnt brave enough to ship out deadwood when he first arrived hes not brave enough to drop Lampard. Certainly in the next few games anyway.

Lamps/mceachran to play 70/30 split. Lamps needs games to be at best

Frank was great,but since injury knocked him back he has not been anywhere near his best.I like Lamps and he has been a legend,but he cannot cut it now and I would give Josh or obviously Modric a run in the middle.Frank has had months now to recover and get fit.
Hope to see Sturridge playing soon and Luiz,but surprised to see Kalou feature at present.Decent sub,but not a winner although AVB may know more about players than me and the rest of us.
Where will the new guys fit in too?

I would imagine are line up would be...
Cech
Brana/Bos.....Terry......Luiz/Alex...........Cole
Ramires..Essien/Mikel/Romeu....Lampard/Modric/Benayoun/Josh
Sturridge.....Drogba/Torres......Mata

I reckon he will feature more in cups and as a sub this season and then he will start to break into the team.
