Jase 43,479 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 To be honest, we knew this day was always going to come - Terry leaving the club at the end of the season, be it his own decision or the club's - sooner or later. I am more concerned about the fact that his departure leaves with practically zero leaders in the dressing room. It's quite laughable in some ways that our next most experienced players after Terry is Mikel, Ivanovic and Cahill and none of them have shown any real leadership qualities. Desperate times ahead.

Popular Post! Stats 7,142 Posted February 1, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted February 1, 2016 Terry has played this quite smart tbh. He knows by leaking the news out to the media and public that he has not been offered a new contract, that it will cause huge uproar. If he left it till the end of the season, less time to sort out but now our club is going to be hounded by the media and fans alike and maybe that will work to his advantage. Not criticizing him but just feel it was not 100% necessary to confirm that. I mean look at City. Pellegrini probably knows he is leaving at the end of the season and I would not be surprised if he knew right from the beginning of the season however he has adhered with the club to keep that completely internal because if it does get leaked out, it could have an adverse affect and create more headlines but while it is kept underlipped, the team are joint 2nd in the league and are aguably a lot of people's favourites to regain the title and also in the running for the quadruple. Now, any time we keep a clean sheet, the media are going to jump on the bandwagon straight away and be like "Chelsea are ludicrous to not be offering JT a contract", "this performance proves he is worthy of another year" and "what are the club thinking" etc. I just don't know if it was totally right to do that because now all of a sudden if he is offered a contract all of a sudden, you will get many headlines about Roman falling under fan pressure and it was reluctant decision. Similar to the Di Matteo appointment after winning the UCL. It does not change the fact that I think the club will be mad not to offer him a contract but just feel this will create unneccessary headlines. Hopefully it does not affect the team's performance though. The Skipper, Fulham Broadway, Kieran. and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fucking hate our support sometimes.. I was not having a go at him bro. I am just stating that his love for the club and his belief that he still can carry on for Chelsea which majority of us believe he can do too has probably caused him to say the truth now to get the fans to back the campaign to give him a contract. Because I would not be surprised after all if he is offered one if he keeps up with his solid form tillt he end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter when Terry left there was always going to be this reaction. Sorry mate, but I disagree with your last statement. I doubt there would be as much of a reaction if we at least knew that we had capable replacements in the squad, or were at least linked with good replacement targets. Don't get me wrong, I'm also excited with the prospect of having a proactive defender like Miazga in the back four, but the fact is none of these guys are proven and the move could easily backfire.

Popular Post! stroey 2,525 Posted February 1, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted February 1, 2016 I am sorry to say this, but currently it feels like we're the English version of Real Madrid. - Sacking managers like it's nothing - Treating club legends like shit (Raul, Casillas = JT, Lamps) - Buying attacking players for the sake of buying We're even worse, because we sell club hero/legends to direct rivals just because the money is better than selling them abroad (Mata, Cech). It currently feels like we're a club without an identity, maybe because the club is run by genies like Emenalo. The only thing that makes me proud is our fans > (1000 times) Real Madrid's fans. JT has played it smart, he's using the power of the fans and media to put pressure on the club and he's absolutely right. He doesn't want to be binned through the backdoor as garbage like Lampard/Ashley, those guys didn't even get a proper goodbye with the fans. ''No player/manager is bigger than the cub'' this is right but you will start asking yourself what the club actually is if they treat legends like this, it feels Chelsea football club is just a business to make money, nothing else. JT deserves a proper farewell like Gerrard had if he leaves, but more than that I think he deserves a new contract because of the many qualities he has as a player and as a leader. manpe, Blue_Fox_, Laylabelle and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with what you said expect for the Mata and Cech thing. I feel it was more of Roman keeping his word with Mata and Cech rather than selling them for a prize. It was very clear that Jose didnt want Cech to join Arsenal while Cech wanted to stay in London which Roman honored. Same with Mata, he said we would fight despite Jose publicly stating Oscar was his No. 10 but when it didnt go well for Mata ... he took the first offer than must have fallen in his lap. This only has helped strengthen our rivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 12,049 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 If I were at Terry's stage in his career I wouldn't be worried about making a big cheque or winning more, I'd want to play in some quaint time with nice weather year round, like Nice or somewhere in Occitania.
