Why Terry is on his last legs.

[Fulham Broadway 16,849]

It's 2012. He's 31 now, not 26.

Realise that, its just a 6 monthly topic that crops up. Think he has a season or two left.

[capriccioso 2,545]

For all his off and on pitch idiocy, there's no doubt he's a supreme leader. He could probably take the squad to war with him and they wouldn't bat a lid.

Terry is an epitome of Chelsea. We all make mistakes, but he's the one who led us to glory and will continue to do so.

I think JT has still got alot to offer, he ain't done yet. Luiz and cahill can both still learn from playing along side him.

Exactly, some fans are so fickle it's shameful. Terry is perhaps the last person you should want to go.

Whatever terry does off the pitch is his business. Also, whats his parents life got to do with anything?

He's the glue that hold team together. He's a still a damn good defender and leader. He'll be here till he's crippled!

WHS hopefully your starting to realise this is a stupid thread...

It's not a stupid thread, it's an opinion which I still stand by. Go spam some other topic like you usually do.

And It's SHM, not WHS.

Sorry I got you mixed up with We hate Scouse. Anyway I don't spam forums, where'd you get that from. Plus this IS a stupid thread. It would have been like a get rid of Frank thread. These are players that should retire here.

What did I ever do wrong

Haha sorry bro

Fair point but he still can play for us for 2-3 seasons.

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

He does not have 2-3 years. He is having to take painkiller injections before every game. You can already tell they're starting to take a toll, he has lost a massive amount of pace and speed. He will need to end it soon or he will seriously hurt himself.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Still a very good defender and a great leader. Like the Big Drog pointed out, both Luiz and Cahill play better when he's on the pitch and that's no coincidence.

Here's the thing.

As a footballer, solely a footballer, John Terry is absolutely brilliant. He's still one of England's best centre halves (albeit, England has no other competent centre halves.), he's proven his commitment on the field this season with goal-line clearances, timed blocks, pushing up forward etc. His positioning and awareness, generated through a life-time of experience, has made him one of the most old-school defenders around.

But as a role-model, face of the club and all that publicity, he's f*cking shite. He does some really unbelievably stupid things, almost like Joey Barton. I mean his antics at the Nou Camp were a disgrace within itself and season upon season, there's always something off-field going on.

As FB said, there has been many pre-season threads doubting John's ability. In fairness, this coming season that might be more true than before, but I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be here. There's more important areas on the pitch where players should leave/be signed. We've got enough cover in defence to phase out Terry with Cahill, Luiz & Ivanovic. Not to mention we'll be getting a new RB with Bosingwa set to be released.

In short, let's wait till we see him perform.

He didn't have massive amounts of pace and speed to begin with

[francozola 2,040]

I think he'll be fine for another year but we need to get a proper RB in. Lets not forget that John is most likely going to get a 10-15 game ban beginning next season! If either one of Cahill or Luiz get injured then we'll be in trouble again and will have to scramble

Cahill & Luiz (especially Gary) will learn loads from JT as well in terms of organization, etc which they currently lack.

[Blue Traveler 256]

How dare you question Terry?!

I for one don't fall into media mind game traps! He is our club captain, leader and legend. End of story!
