Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I think we can carry John Terry if he was surrounded by 3 quality defenders. With Ivanovic, Matic & Cahill on the field he's just as big a liability. xPetrCechx, Blue-in-me-Veins and DYC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm sorry. I love the guy and he symbolizes alot of the best things that I want in a Chelsea player and nobody in the world could ever doubt his love and comitment to Chelsea. But we gotta keep sentimentr out of team selection IF we are ever going to get out of this shite our defence is in. It's time we gave him a hug and either stick him in management or let him join Lamps and Drogs. petre.ispirescu and Gilvorak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Looks like I'm not the only one worried about Conte claiming he could play into his 40s like Maldini then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think he's saying that to appease the fans who crave John Terry at Chelsea. It's an absurd statement and if Terry is here in a playing capacity into his 40's then I give up . However I do think he'll be here in a coaching capacity at least. It was JT himself who said his contract states a "different role" when he was offered. Conte attempted to backtrack on this, but it was clear as day at the time what it meant. DYC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The last few posts in this thread makes me cringe. A slow RB, and 2 slow CBs is always going to be a mess. But if you have to pick one of the 3 Terry starts every time. When Happy is back (or indeed if we bring in Koulibaly) along with a little pace we'll look much better. I really hope Conte lets Aina grow into RB; I can't watch Ivanovic any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,914 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 He looks like exactly what he is: an old man in football terms. Like Lampard at the end, like Gerrard at the end, like Rio Ferdinand at the end. JT was already pretty slow at his best but now looks completely shot. He can't turn and recover which leads to what we saw against Bremen yesterday. He gets exposed. Against the other top managers like Pep & Mou who are masters at exploiting specific weaknesses in opponents I'd be terrified if JT, Cahill, and Ivanovic start. They'd both target the center of our defense and with players like Zlatan, Agüero, Mkhitaryan, De Bruyne, etc, they'll embarrass us. Remember those humiliating thumpings we got last season by City? It would be a repeat of those. He should be a squad player who plays early end FA Cup games, League Cup games, and a PL match here and there.

Popular Post! CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 8, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted August 8, 2016 What makes the last couple of pages funny is that he is still our best available CB and the second best defender in the entire team Yes he is not good enough to be starting for us anymore and OF COURSE we need several signings in defense, but how in the world is HE alone the one setting us back when he is still better than every fit defender at the club bar Azpilicueta?! The board and management have shockingly failed to sign badly needed top defenders since Luiz left. That can't be pinned on JT.

Not blaming him bud he's just doing his job at a place he loves and still wants to win. I'm sure he realizes hes too slow and it must hurt him. But we really cant be sentimentle. He deserves a big hug, a proper testiminial, chuck up a statue next to the Cat. lert his contract run out and promote him to player moral manage.r. Or will he want to goto US or China? I wouldnt mind if he went to North London to join Petr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with that (apart from seeing him in an Arsenal shirt!), but what I'm saying is that the board messed up so badly over the past few transfer windows that he's still a key player when he's reached an age and level where he should be a squad player at best.

I personally want him to finish his career here or go the the US and then come back to us. If we get some proper CBs, which doesn't seem very likely, he should be aware that his position should be on the bench. And on the Arsenal thing: Just no.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I love the guy but right now he is holding up our progress and its time he stood down. Keep him on in player moral management, make him a nice statue outside the new stadium, maybe name a stand after him even. But gotta give him a hug, a testimonial and say ta ra.
