Mourinho: Lampard irreplaceable
Print Edition
JOSE Mourinho admits it will be impossible to find a replacement for Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.
Lampard was released by the Blues at the end of last season and has since signed for new MLS franchise New York FC, while also agreeing to play for Manchester City on loan until January.
The 36-year-old established himself as one of Chelsea’s all-time greats during his 13-year stay at Stamford Bridge, becoming the club’s record goalscorer.
Mourinho claims that even new signing Cesc Fabregas won’t be able to replace the England international on his own.
Speaking to BT Sport, Mourinho said: “Frank is Frank, he is irreplaceable. No chance. Fabregas is the player we need to modify a little bit the profile of our game. We want to give the next dimension to our game in midfield.
“But I think we can never say — in spite of Cesc, who is a fantastic player as you know — that, ‘This guy is coming to replace Frank’, because Frank is Frank.”
