Well, apparently, Frank Lampard is giving out some hints that he will stay with the Blues.

With only a couple of years left in Frank Lampard’s contract with Chelsea FC, the talented midfielder has hinted that he is ready to remain with Jose Mourinho (provided he gets to keep his job…) and his Chelsea teammates.

Frank Lampard, after a disappointing 2007 English Premiership season that saw Manchester United dethrone them from the top of the English football food chain, wants to remain with the Blues hoping they can reclaim the EPL title back from the Red Devils.

Of course, doing that is easier said than done with two young football players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, STILL leading Man-U towards the future. And with both guys still ahead of their prime, years of dominance for the heroes of Old Trafford is definitely a certainty.

Despite that, Frank Lampard STILL believes that the coming 2007-08 English Premiere League season will tell a different story and he is ready to be a part of it. Frank Lampard has two years left of his current deal and negotiations over a new deal are ongoing.

There has been speculation that the former West-Ham star may opt to buy out the remainder of his contract under FIFA regulations. But Lampard’s enthusiasm about wanting to snatch the Premier League title back from Manchester United in 2007-2008 suggests his commitment to the Blues is not wavering.

Lampard intends to rest up this summer before helping Jose Mourinho’s attempt to win the English Premiership for the third time in four years.

”I am looking forward to a summer. It’s been a very long season. The last few seasons have all been long. I’ve got a clear month now and I am looking forward to resting a lot,” Frank Lampard said.

”I’ve felt tired at different stages of my career. Sometimes you feel tired at Christmas when you are bogged down with games. It’s just a matter of resting at the right times and now I’ve got a good summer.”

”I am looking forward to a good season with Chelsea where we want to win the league next year. It is important we come back firing and do that.”
