Why is Frank Lampard so upset at not being offered a new contract? At his age and with his talents, he could walk into any team (yes, even Liverpool with their stuffed central midfield) if he were to leave Chelsea.

Talking to the London Evening Standard:
“I’ve been approached a few times by the club saying they are going to come to me with something and they haven’t. That means they’re saying they will have to wait until the summer and I don’t really know what that means. I said at the beginning of the season I didn’t want to talk about my contract because I wanted to concentrate on my football.
They have made contact but it hasn’t been with any news. They’ve been saying that something is going to happen but if we wait until the summer and nothing happens then I’ve got a year left which is not a position I want to be in.”
