It'll be turkey bacon, without bread after a mysterious fire at the local bakery. Followed by being replaced with a "luxury" Portuguese product - chicken piri piri is hoped for but it turns out to be a couple of old sardines ?

You pick the best team not the most expensive one He'll be sold if he's just a drain on resources. Who ever picked a team by wage budget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Only guaranteed starters imo as it were are Carson and Davies.Other spots go to who he thinks are best. If he thinks Martin is his guy, fair enough.If not, solid option off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenBr Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 2 hours ago, curtains said: Which high earners are not going to play next season then now we have lost Bent and Baird and Shackell and sold Hughes and Ince. Most of the high earners left will play as should Martin unless we sell or loan him out assuming Vydra is sold. List of squad players I don't consider to be on high Wages: Bennett, Hanson, Mitchell and Thomas. End of list. Players won't play just because they have high wages - we must have had one of the most expensive benches in the league last season if you just take wages into account.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I know it's outrageous but I suspect that lampard will play the players that suit his style of play and prove to be effective within that system....he will possibly look to observe his players in training and videos of them in action prior to picking the team. This will no doubt include every player in the squad,including Chris martin. Clean slate for everyone in other words. As it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he Frank brings in Abraham he’s got to be first choice if he’s fit and firing but we’re going to need 3 strikers and we don’t know how we’re going to shape up formation wise. As kash says above,everyone has to have a clean slate and get a fair crack at it. I remember us struggling 3? years ago when we lost Wardrobe and Benty and we were in the poo. If Frank comes in and decides there’s no place for Martin then I’m not qualified to argue with him and if he comes in and gets Martin firing in a set up that suits his style and the teams then it can only be a good thing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think most recognise that Martin can be a good player at this level but ultimately it'll come down to how Frank wants us to play and who impresses. My view is that Martin could still lead our attack and succeed. Form is temporary etc. However, if we can play attractive and successful football without Martin then so be it. I'd still keep him around as he offers an option we sorely missed in the run in last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be great if Frank can integrate and get the best out out him and as long as he doesn't set the team up like those tactically inept, anti football, dimwit duo, Pearson and rowett,it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve. However,if Frank doesn't like him and goes for other strikers instead then so be it...for me the main objective for frank is to get us playing good,attractive football again,with or without the old guard. Be nice to see Bryson and Martin working well with players like lawrence tho,in fact it would be fantastic, but let's just see how the boss wants to go with the squad.

To be honest,we have seen so little of him in the past two seasons when he's basically been on loan,it's a bit like he's already gone... Would have been nice to have had a chance to shine in a lampards team tho as I'm sure it will be the polar opposite to rowetts set up and I'm sure he would have been good for derby once again.
