The Frank Lampard tribute thread.

4th best midfielder of the premier league era. Well done Frank

What is the wage cap out of curiosity? NY seem to want to be a Man City with Villa and Lampard appearing to be the first signings.

Before looking on wikipedia, I only knew it existed.

Here are some major points of the MLS rules and regulations for the 2014 season.

A team's roster can be made up of up to 30 players. They are eligible to be selected to the 18-player team for each game.

The salary cap will be $3.1 million per team, not counting the extra salary of designated players. Players in the first 20 roster spots will count against the cap.
The maximum salary for any one player is $387,500.

A designated player counts $387,500 against a team's cap. However, if a player joins his team in the middle of the season, the charge against the budget will be $193.750.

Players who are in the roster spots from 21-30 will not count against a team's cap. They will be known as off-budget players. Generation adidas players are off-budget players and not counted against the cap. Those in roster spots from 21–24 have a minimum salary of $48,500, and slots 25–30 have a minimum salary of $36,500. Additionally, those who earn the lowest possible league salary must be 24 or younger during the 2014 calendar year.

Since the 2012 season, the cap number for international designated players has depended on the players' ages. Since the 2013 season, players 20 or younger have counted $150,000 against the cap and those age 21 to 23 have counted $200,000, with older players remaining at the standard cap number ($368,750 for 2013 and $387,500 for 2014). For the purpose of determining a cap number, the player's age is determined solely by his year of birth

Designated players are the players like Beckham, Villa and Lampard.

Harry wasn't wrong tbf

Not even worth trying to compare Scott Canham and Frank Lampards careers as Harry suggested...

Lampard off to play in the MLS, a league with all the intensity of a pre-season friendly. Meanwhile Gerrard looks forward to another season of Champions League football.

Only one goal of the month award? Poor show Frank.

[Hoop Blah]

To be fair, April 2010 was a great month and so to win goal of the month was an amazing achievement.

[Extended-Phenotype]

Only one goal of the month award? Poor show Frank.

Aye, penalties are rarely awarded goal of the month sadly.

Was winning the Europa League really a major achievement considering they had to fail in another competition in order to qualify for it?
