That statement does a disservice to how good a player Lampard was. He could also play in any position in the midfield, just was so good going forward that it made sense for him to play as an attacking midfielder. I personally think that Lampard was better than Gerrard and just didn’t have the whole Liverpool hype machine behind him like Gerrard did.

if Devine ends up being even 90% as good as Lamard was then we’ll have a very special player on our hands (and I have said plenty of times on here that Devine is head and shoulders the best player in our new under 23 squad).

90%? If he's 50% as good as Lampard I'll be happy.
 
I never got the anti-Lampard thing (apart from the Chav connection of course), always thought he was a very good player.
And he went up in my estimation when he phoned into LBC to tear a strip off the talk-show presenter who was slating him about his separation from his then-wife and 'abandonment' of his daughters. Told him you don't know me, you don't know my family, you have no idea what you're talking about. Or something like that.

Lampard like Sterling in the other thread is a dirty word round these parts. Much like Henderson, H Redknapp, Parker, etc. Englishmen are underrated on this forum rather than the opposite (them being overrated is often thrown about).

I like Parker and Redknapp is fine as long as you have a chairman who does not let him spend.

Good player and nice man. Seems to hate us though.

Most noise I ever made at the lane was constantly for 90 minutes chanting "you cost England the world cup" I think having someone to hate is important.

Frank was quality although I couldn’t ever see him playing a holding role
But you don’t score as many goals as he did without being top drawer
 
Looks like he's had a right old growth spurt.
I've only really seen him before in the Marine game, where he looked squat and compact...he's stretched out a bit now, looks a proper athlete.

You know the number 10 we didn’t buy….
Maybe that’s Devine in a years time

Like Skipp he stand out at that level and would benefit from having a greater challenge in terms of physicality and mentally, he has a hunger for the game and needs to be pushed. The problem is finding the right club, no point going anywhere as a bench warmer like John who waste 6 months at Charlton.
 
I knew a half decent euro under 19’s against kids his own age would get you lot over hyping another youngster, you just can’t control yourselves can you? :D

He stands out because he has the tools
Some players look great because their size or speed so shine at youth levels
He stands out because he has everything
His passing is very very good
He can shoot
He has a great work rate

He has far more of a game than the much hyped Marcus Edwards and wants to be involved, plus hes a bit of devil.
S
He is a high quality package
