"There has to be a goalkeeper in there somewhere, you don't pay £75m for no reason, so he's obviously got the ability and the talent.
"I just feel that I'm waiting to see him with a strong defence.
"Sometimes you just need that leader in front of you, I don't think there's that leader at Chelsea at the minute.
"They're all on a similar playing field, so get a leader in front of him, see how he reacts to that and then I'll be able to give you more of a yes or no in regards to keeping him.

"Right now I'd stick with him, work on my defence and try and tighten things up that way."
Chelsea conceded more goals than any other side in the top half of the Premier League table this season.
That is why Lampard is looking to bring in a new goalkeeper, centre-half and left-back.
