Ed 002 Do you know if the club have a strict limit of a 12 month contract for 30 Plus players?
If that is the case would you expect Ashley and Frank to move on in the summer?
Thanks. {Ed002's Note - No, it is not as simple as that but conceptually the club do not want to get in to the financial situation which leaves them with high earners who are contracted beyond their useful years. It is like an old dog, comes a time just to shoot it in the head and get a new dog. I have already explained what the options are for Lampard and he would not be offered a deal longer than a year. For Cole it is slightly different, but there remains a good chance that he will leave next summer regardless.}

Does that mean Ashley's likely destination will be PSG ? {Ed002's Note - I am not sure that it does.}

Rough analogy Ed.

ED002 just wondering has there been any talks within the club on targeting a new striker in January or do the club feel for this season there is enough cover? {Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed inasmuch as the right player at the right price would be of interest.}
