Frank Lampard Gets Into the Last Year:
As this year is the Last Year For Frank Lampard As His Contract ends The Blues Manager RDM Hopes To Sign New Deal To stay At the club.Di Matteo said: 'He has been very influential in his Chelsea career over the years and there are talks between the club and the player.'I give my recommendation and it is the board who make the final decision. It is between the club and the player but I think Frank is a very important player for the club. He had a good game against Italy and I know what he can do.'Di Matteo even believes that 34-year-old Lampard, who captained England against Italy in Berne on Wednesday, could play well beyond the next couple of years.'He is in good shape, has not suffered any major injuries and he looks after himself,' said the Italian. 'Many players like this can go on to play until their late thirties.'Lampard will face stiff competition for a midfield place this season, with Chelsea evolving from a team looking to feed the now-departed Didier Drogba at every opportunity to one with an emphasis on movement.And with Chelsea looking for new marquee signings Eden Hazard and Oscar to rotate around the reborn Fernando Torres, it could mean a more withdrawn position for Lampard

Walcott, 23, has just a year left on his deal.Wenger added: “When a player doesn’t want to stay you either force him or you let him go.”

There are new signings and it will be exciting, especially if we can produce the form we did in the last two months of last season.” Van Persie’s move to Old Trafford has dominated the headlines ahead of the new season yet Chelsea have signed Eden Hazard, Oscar and Marko Marin.Cahill, 26, admitted: “Van Persie would have an impact on any team he plays for.“You see his work and what he can do, last year especially. He would be a fantastic signing for anyone.“Teams are getting so strong but we have added to our squad so hopefully we will keep up with that and we are looking to go about our business.“Last year the league form was not what we wanted so it’s important we address that this season and I’m sure we will.”Chelsea start their season against Wigan today and defender Cahill is desperate to return to competitive action after missing the Euros with a jaw injury.He added: “It was a nightmare. Emotionally it was frustrating when you hear the national anthem and you should be there.“But I was willing England to do well. I watched all the games.”He returned for the friendly win over Italy in midweek and said: “It was obviously great to be back.“I was looking forward to the game. especially as there are some important games coming up in September.”
