Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 He'll finish his days at Chelsea. We should have kicked him out, withdrawn his testimonial, arrested his wife and children, and burnt effigies of him outside the ground after the CL final.

Steve 10,227 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If we sold those 3 we wouldnt get half of the reported money Citeh offered for JT. And to replace them we'd need to spend twice, maybe more than what we would get for them in the transfer market. I disagree. Its not only city out there i think if someone come around from like the MLS lets say and made a ridiculous bid for someone like ballack or deco, which i can see happening as teams from that league do look for the has beens to make there league bigger and a few team did take interest in deco and bid ridiculous amounts of money for him when he was at barca but he wanted to come challenge himself with us.

Elliott 7 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 With all this talk of we should sell Terry to City for the right price, I simply don't think he'd go there. And its not because he may or may not love Chelsea FC, I think he does, because he's been the captain for so long and because he always puts the graft in, but because simply City are nowhere near as good a side as Chelsea and it would be detrimental to his career.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 that is ridiculous! my club is a perfect example of this, in 2006 my club went down to serie b and many money grabbers left but others stayed, players like alessandro del piero, gigi buffon, pavel nedved just to name a few. now of these players didnt love the shirt and play for it not money would they have stayed??? no, i beleive john terry is much like these players. OK...now there you are wrong. Did your club go down because of the financial situation? ala Leeds United? NO. Did Gigi Buffon, Del Piero and Nedved get pay cuts? NO. Did your club need money? NO. That explains it. Had a leeds united situation risen, youwud not have had Del Piero buffon n nedved at your club. Also, When they got relegatedcus of the match fixing scandal and not financial crisis, Juve wud be nuts to put them on for sale. They needed their three best players to stay.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Juve got relegated in 2005-06 - arguably the worst season to go down in, because of the Italian football rights being sold, if I am correct. If they'd have stayed in Serie A, they'd have got somewhere near £30 million in funding, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajo 176 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 http://goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/200...s-john-terry-50 Goal.com's Top 50 English Players: John Terry (50) Goal.com are counting down England's greatest players of all time and at number 50 is current captain and Chelsea legend, all-action defender John Terry... John TERRY Born 7/12/1980, London, England England 51 caps, 6 goals Clubs Chelsea, Nottingham Forest (loan) Few would question John Terry's position as captain of England. Many will say there are better defenders and maybe even better leaders, but there is something so quintessentially English about him: from his name to his playing style and his attitude - for better or worse - it's all a fit for the armband. Yet it's been far from plain sailing since he took over as captain from David Beckham. Untellable levels of shame will justifiably forever hang over the head of Steve McClaren for failing to qualify for Euro 2008, but some of that, rightfully or not, will always be shared by the skipper. After McClaren's dismissal and Fabio Capello's appointment, Terry saw off some rotation of the armband and stiff competition from Steven Gerrard and Rio Ferdinand to retain his place as leader of his country, despite strong support for Rio in particular to take his place. He has done himself and his country proud ever since. CAREER HIGHLIGHT JT lifts his second Prem trophy While he has never been the most technically skilled or complete defender, he has had the world class company of first Marcel Desailly, then Ricardo Carvalho and William Gallas for company at the back during his time with Chelsea. He rose through the ranks with the west London club and won the club's Player of the Year award, aged just 21, in his breakthrough season. The action man was appointed club captain by Jose Mourinho upon his arrival at the club and Terry, 23 at the time, was a driving force behind successive Premier League titles, two League Cups, an FA Cup and a string of strong showings without ultimate reward in the Champions League. Without doubt backed by vast riches from owner Roman Abramovich, Terry led a side of so-called mercenaries to all these titles and it was characters like him - like Mourinho - that made the difference between that Chelsea side and the even more expensive Real Madrid Galacticos, who were at that very same time falling from grace in spectacular fashion. Terry's significance for club hasn't quite transferred itself to country as he and England fans would have liked. The upcoming World Cup will serve as his chance to make his mark as a genuine legend for his country, as he has already done for his club, still just 28 years of age. He has all the ingredients to make it happen. Certainly, from game to game, few can compete with the fearless nature of John Terry's defending. He is the aggressor: the one who forces the issue, takes control, flies in with tackles and towers in the air. He makes mistakes (what defender doesn't?) but is readily forgiven by the fans for every tackle he makes that so many other defenders would never manage, or never dare to make. His ability to recover from even the greatest of falls is testament to an incredible character and he has the fitness to go at least as far as the 2014 World Cup for his country. We are in an era were there are few world class centre-backs to behold - not even in Italy - and it is in fact England who have the best defensive talent to choose from out of all the top nations in world football, and it's Terry who leads that particular pack with Rio Ferdinand. That's no dumb luck - and Fabio Capello, if you believe what you hear, certainly isn't one to play favourites. Terry is where he is on merit. He still is and will probably always be the man for a crunch situation. He has come through at key moments throughout his career both defending goals and scoring them, despite the almighty blunder that was the slip, the post, the missed penalty and the lost Champions League trophy on that rain-soaked pitch in Moscow. Maybe not the exception that proves the rule, but certainly something so unfortunate that it really could have happened to anyone. That Champions League failure, that Euro 2008 humiliation - it all means that for all JT's achievements and elevated status in the modern game - both nationally and internationally - he is still a man seeking personal redemption, records to make and break and as a lot more silverware. HONOURS Premier League (2004-05, 2005-06) FA Cup (2000, 2007) League Cup (2005, 2007) Community Shield (2005) PFA Player of the Year (2004-05) FIFA World Cup Team of the Tournament (2006) FIFPro World XI (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008) UEFA Best Defender (2005, 2008) UEFA Team of the Year (2005, 2007, 2008) Chelsea Player of the Year (2001, 2006) DID YOU KNOW ... That John Terry says Thierry Henry is the best player he has ever played against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boshman 1,073 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Terry's commitment and never-say-die attitude is untouched by everybody in world football. He has blue blood coursing through his veins. He epitomises everything that is Chelsea. He is Chelsea. In my opinion, when this man retires he will retire as the biggest Chelsea legend there is... and ever will be. JT... Captain. Leader. Legend. Come on the Chels!

Blueboy 14 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Fabio Capello alone will make the decision about John Terry’s position. The FA confirms that England manager Fabio Capello alone will make the decision about John Terry’s position. An FA spokesman said: "Fabio is fully up to speed with developments regarding John Terry. He spoke with our Chairman Lord Triesman and Chief Executive Ian Watmore today, who both backed him to make the best decision for England on footballing grounds. Fabio is dealing with the matter in his own way using his extensive experience as a football manager."Fabio Capello returns to England later this week and will travel to Warsaw for the Euro 2012 qualifying competition draw this weekend.-------------------------------------www.thefa.com------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Looks like he'll stay on as England captain then. Capello and Terry are on very close terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
