The Delph and Kenny extensions (if that is the case), are not necessarily a bad thing if Lampard thinks that he can make use of them (injuries permitting - Yes, I know) in the short term whilst he gradually re-builds the squad.

After all, he knows whether the limited but whole-hearted abilities of a Kenny are more valuable to the squad in the short term than a player of better quality but dubious application.

I'm very open minded about this pre-season. No-one is safe, as it should be.
