I find it even more interesting reading comments from John Terry or hearing him speaking about Chelsea these days because he works for the club still. He’s still got a role within the academy so he will always need to be a little bit careful with what he says.
So it intrigued me even more to hear him telling the club to start making some marquee signings again, and this is something that I know many of us agree with.
I don’t think anyone would want the club to rip up the script fully and change back to the Roman Abramovich days of making marquee signings - because there has proven to be many positives in the way we recruit at the moment as well as negatives. However, and what I hope Terry means by his comments below, we all want to see more balance with our recruitment. This summer would have been the perfect time to do that by adding a big name in goal and at the back, it would have solved one issue that keeps coming up.
“We're officially the best team in the world so we're happy with that,” Terry joked on talkSPORT late last week. “I don’t want too much pressure on the boys because we are a young squad.
“With this year and with the experience of pushing the other teams close I think we have a chance to be up there and we should be because we’re Chelsea.
“I think any top side or any young and experienced player going into the season saying, 'We can’t win it,' shouldn’t be playing at the top level.
“So I think every Chelsea player should believe we can go and win it.
“Do I think we will? No, I don’t being honest with you but I think we’ll be right amongst it and I think we should be.”
Asked how Chelsea can leapfrog Liverpool and win their first Premier League title since 2017, Terry said: “I’d love to see us in the mix for big signings if we want to be back to our very best and at the top winning Premier Leagues year after year.
“I think the only thing we’re missing at the moment is those marquee signings.”
“[This Season], I think Liverpool are the strongest side,” he added. “I think Manchester City have shown vulnerability again this season.
“I’m not sure Chelsea have enough experience within their squad to push them.”
So once again, Terry is mentioning a lack of experience and big names within the squad. As you know, I mostly agree with the captain, leader, legend here. What about you?
Terry also went on to speak on Enzo Maresca and how he rates him.
“I’ve been very impressed with him to be honest. He’s very inviting with me as I’m obviously working in the academy,” Terry revealed.
“I get to see him work and he’s very personal with the players.
“I think the biggest thing for any manager this year is being close to the players and he seems to have a really good connection with the younger players.
“He’s very young himself. He understands the players, he understands what they want and he’s certainly getting the best out of them at the moment.”
