Every player plays in the Bundesliga except Mertestriker, Podolski, and Klose. No Bayern or Stuttgart players in the team since they have the DfB-Pokal final the same weekend as the friendlies.
Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce Frank Lampard has signed a one-year extension to his contract.
Already the third-highest appearance-maker in the club's history, next season will be the vice-captain's 13th at Stamford Bridge.
Ron Gourlay, Chelsea FC Chief Executive, said: 'Frank has been an important player for Chelsea Football Club for a long time and has played a significant part in the club's success.
'We have been talking to him since the end of last year and our discussions have been entirely positive throughout. We are delighted we are now announcing an extension to his contract which will keep him at the club until 2014.'
Lampard added: 'I'm absolutely delighted. Everybody knows I always maintained the dream was to stay at Chelsea. We've been talking for ages and even though it went on for quite a period it was always amicable.
'I want to thank Mr Abramovich for everything he's done in making the dream a reality. I love this club, the staff, the players and especially the supporters, who have treated me fantastically since the day I arrived.
'The thought of helping the club to more success in the forthcoming years is all I ever wanted. I couldn't be happier.'
Fucking ridiculous... Lampard deserves a contract for life including a contract for when he quits and wants to become a coach. He's a fucking legend for Chelsea and he has to be happy with +1 year.

Yea this Wenger like behaviour is rather unbecoming of Ruskies with bags of money :p

I just don't believe in Atletico against Madrid... it's what now? 15 years since the last victory? Not gonna happen tomorrow, they're gonna shit themselves like twice this season, and the one before, and the one before.. Easy 3-1 win for RM, so Mourinho can say 'I win trophies, and I'm the bad guy'
I watched that before the game vs Swansea. The bit where they talk about Scholes retirement coinciding with lots of other things. He starts to laugh and say yeah, with Sir Alex retiring and Rooney handing in a transfer request i kinda have been pushed under the carpet which is fine by me. They both laugh at the Rooney bit...to then get told live on sky 90minutes later that Rooney actually handed in a transfer request XD
Some interesting stories breaking in England at the moment.
Gus Poyet and his 2 coaching staff have been suspended by Brighton.... :S I have no reason why and when they find out i will sure to post it.
Also Falcao has "rubbished" reports linking him with a summer move to Monaco. Will be hilarious if that turns into another Hulk situation as his "owners" going to sell him without consulting him xD

The Poyet thing was because of comments he made about his position at the club a couple of days ago after their loss in the play-offs.
"Chelsea will be much better next season because they will spend £100m and they will sign three or four players," Benitez told Spanish radio.
"They have good young players like Victor Moses, Eden Hazard, Oscar, Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Fernando Torres, Oriol Romeu; they are all improving and they all have potential.
"The foundation is already there. The future is bright for them."
Fucking Rafa just cannot shut up can he >.<
What's wrong with what he said?
Top bit xD He again keeps spluttering in house talk out to the press. Why tell the press Chelsea are going to spend £100million. Now all the papers lead with story Chelsea spending £100million, Falcao Cavani etcetc coming in. Just creates press we don't want. Same when he blurted out about "everyone knows who will be here next season" more press about Chelsea and more fans rejoicing for something that isn't fact >.<
Just annoys me, especially when it has NOTHING to do with him now he wont be there.
Lol too much hate He was just answering one question on Chelsea's future I suppose. Then the £100 million figure, well that's what we expect from Chelsea every summer? IMO he's just praising the young guys he has been working with.
Same about the Mourinho comment, what's the big deal? He is just answering a question, that's all. In football, and in business in general, nothing is done until it is signed. We have known for months that Abramovitch wanted to bring back Mou. Hardly a revelation.
You may not like the guy, not a reason to frame everything he says like that...

That's what all big brothers that've already made it say about their little brothers.
Same thing with Wesley and Rodney Sneijder. Wesley said his lil' brother was even better than him and he's not even in the base formation of some €10m budget team in the Eredivisie. Did play in the Ajax youth academy though but didn't make it.
Radamel Falcao has dismissed speculation about his future and reiterated his commitment to Atletico Madrid.
The Colombian striker has been heavily linked with a move to French side Monaco, with Chelsea and Real Madrid also thought to be among the other clubs interested in his signature.
"I don't know anything, and the only thing that I have in my mind and keep concentration is on Atletico Madrid," he is quoted as saying.
"I don't know anything. I keep myself apart of what is being said. If it was for the press, I have already been transferred to all the teams in Europe, like Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United.
"I don't find true any news that is being said about me".
He added: "The only real thing is that I am under contract until 2016, all the rest is only speculation. I don't know anything about Monaco. I have my mind focused where I am."
Apparently Arsenal have signed French Football Manager wonderkid Yaya Sanogo. He's quite talented and it'd be a free transfer since his contract ends after this season.
