I Will Sign After The Lifting Of Our Ban, But It Depends On The Player – Lampard

Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard is set to explore Chelsea’s options in the transfer market after the transfer ban on the club was lifted.

Today, the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced that they have halved the initial 2-window ban placed on Chelsea, meaning, the Blues can now buy players in January to improve the squad.

Reacting, Lampard believes it is a welcome opportunity to bring more players in and he plans to strengthen the team if he needs to.

His words, “The club was working towards this and it’s a positive outcome. We can look forward and it’s good from a footballing point of view.

“We haven’t discussed it too much before the decision. Now it’s a discussion we can take up.

“I’m not going to go down too many lines. We will see where we are. In terms of the bigger picture it is constantly fluid.”

“I haven’t had that conversation.

“The fact that people have given us credit, that has to go to the group. I want more and to be higher up the table.

“If there is a chance to strengthen, then we will look at it.”

“It’s a challenge, yeah,”

“The one thing I felt that when you come into a club, sometimes players you bring in is key to that.

“Going forward it is something that I will bring to the club. It won’t just be myself. I have a very open discussion with Marina [Granovskaia]. It will be a challenge and hopefully we will get it right.

“When [Roman] Abramovich came in the landscape changed and it made me stand up and want to be better than those coming in.

“We want a competitive squad. I see the squad as 20+ and if players come in or leave it is a vision of where we want to go.”

“It depends on the player.

“We have to keep the balance of the squad and it has to feel right. It doesn’t matter if it’s January, July or not.”
