Frank Lampard

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini confirmed former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has joined on a 6-month loan

Manuel Pellegrini says Lamard will be playing a full part in their domestic and Champions League campaign.

Do you think they've signed him purely to get one over in a psychological battle with Chelsea? Similar to someone shagging your ex just because they can. You don't miss her, you know they won't gain anything from doing... but it's a little bit annoying.

No. They've signed him because of the owners of Manchester City are also the owners of New York City and their season don't start until March because they are new franchise

David Villa has also gone on loan to Melbourne City. I suspect it's to keep them match fit before the MLS season kicks off next year.

Lampard's experience in Europe will be invaluable and he'll be a good personality to have around too. I don't think he'll be starting every match but it's a very useful signing and also someone to keep our home grown quota up.
