Villas Boas casts doubt on Lampard future

Villas Boas has taken on the big egos at Chelsea, such as Frank Lampard and John Terry, as he filters out ageing deadwood such as the England stars, to recreate a new team.

“I hope he will be here but it does not depend on me,” said Villas-Boas. “It depends on three parts: I have to want him, the person has to want to stay and the club has to want him.”
