yeh, rumour has it, Fat Frank is off to Inter

not confirmed tho

We'll know for sure one way or another by next Tuesday, I'm guessing

One day Mourinho says he's given up, then the next day the Italian press says the deal is signed, sealed and delivered...

JOSE MOURINHO appeared to signal defeat in his bid to land Frank Lampard last night.

Deco’s £8.3million arrival at Stamford Bridge as Big Phil Scolari’s first signing cast doubt over Lampard’s Chelsea future.

The England midfielder still has to hold face-to-face talks with the new Chelsea boss and has failed to reach an agreement on a new contract.

With his old boss Mourinho taking over at Inter Milan a move looked likely — but last night the Special One claimed it would not happen this season.

Mourinho — who has already had a £6.8m bid rejected — said: “This season? I don’t think so.

“Why won’t he? Well, it’s not because we don’t want him to, but I’m sure Chelsea and Chelsea’s officials don’t want to sell him.

“However for the next season it will be easier for him to join me at Inter.

“I’m 100 per cent sure in 2009/2010 he will be playing here.”

Lampard, 30, is calm about the situation and will continue his family holiday in Sicily regardless of developments in west London.

With one year on his contract to run, it is up to Chelsea to offer him an extension. So far, however, no talks between Chelsea and Lampard or his agent Steve Kutner have taken place.

Scolari has told Chelsea he wants to see the England midfielder in person before anything else happens. That meeting is scheduled for next Monday.

Source?

Great player, and he'll go well at Manu; but im not sure if they need another striker who plays better in behind someone else.

Rooney, Tevez and Berbatov are all best served playing alongside a genuine full forward.

But, it didn't hurt ManU last year so im sure they'll be right.

no official source Tommy, this is a rumour thread but it will become official soon otherwise I wouldn't have posted it

I talk to some very well connected people in the EPL, I knew about Hughes and Chelski about 2 weeks before it was announced

alot of Spurs fans are split on this, some people say he is lazy, moody and our worst trainer and happy to see him go for €30mill, as we only paid €10.5mill for him, and only some one like Manure would pay that much money for some one who is no better or worse than he was 3 years ago when we bought him

he scored 16 goals in the EPL last year, same as Keane, so how they think he is worth €30mill is beyond me

he wont take too well about sitting on the bench at manure, he even throws tantys when he is dragged for the last 15 minutes to give another fresh striker a run

€30mill is enough to buy a decent replacement tho,

life goes on

obviously he finds it more appealing to sit on the bench at old trafford than on the pitch at white heart lane...

its all good though... were gonna need someone of his talent for the Carling Cup... :lol:

So an Aussie from a Rugby League forum has the scoop ahead of everybody in England? You're also using the Euro sign in a deal between 2 English clubs, so I wonder why your "source" would give you the price in a foreign currency.

Forgive my skepticism. Oh, and "the rich get richer and the poor get the eyes picked out of their team". Spurs haven't signed anyone this transfer window have they? Spurs didn't bully Sevilla into releasing their manager mid season. Spurs didn't price us out of the race for a teenager (Bale). Spurs didn't screw us on the price of Carrick.

Nope, it's all United :sarcasm:.
