John Terry

Did Terry was Close ever to sign for another english team? (city)...

Back in 09 it was reported City made a 50 mill bid for him. He responded by penning a new 5 year deal and winning the double

670 CFC appearances and counting. Next season, assuming he plays 50 times (he played 49 last season, it could happen) he will be on 720. Bonetti is on 726, easily catchable. if he does the same the season after (which would be outstanding for a 36 year old defender) he goes to 776. Chopper is on 795. It's distant but just how amazing would it be if he became our record appearance maker? Does he have 3 seasons in him, though, is the question. I honestly think he does.

126 games is a big ask, though. Even if it is over 3 seasons.

Tied with Zola. For me anyway.

The club should be looking to bring him back as a coach. Him working with Hazard, Oscar, Cesc excites me.

Matic: "John is our legend. I’m not saying this because I play with him – he is the best defender in England in the last 20 years." #CFC

Matic "John is our captain, he’s been captain of teams that have won the league several times & I have no idea how many cups he’s won!" #CFC

Matic: "If he [Terry] sees something wrong on the pitch he always makes it right, but in a positive way & the young players like that" #CFC

Matic: "Terry doesn’t actually speak that much in the dressing room, he only speaks when he needs to – and everybody listens" #CFC (Mail)

JT was the U21 game tonight in Kingston

[bluesman2610 1,341]

Very shaky today poor back pass for first goal.. Probably didn't expect NYRB to play at such a high tempo

[Oscar 441]

Eventually JT and Cahill are going to be replace.

Cahill is fine as the 3rd cb.

However, Stones nor zouma is ready for that. We really need to hit the CB market hard this summer or the next.

John Terry: I'm not ready to leave Chelsea, I've got two more years left at the top

He also said he won't play for another Premier League side if we decide to let him go next year (or whenever).

Whereas I would never in a month of Sundays expect to see this sight connected to our JT http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/12029-frank-lampard/?p=1122392I'm really at a loss as to what is OUR best way to go concerning his future.

I know he wants 2 more years with us and theres no doubting hes a fit lad even for his age but we know he has his flaws.

WHEN is the right time for us to start bringing (Stones?) in his place?

Right now we got 3 of our back 4 on 1 year contracts. 2 of them have issues that gives us problems. And we have 1 great young lad just begging to step up and take his part which unless we are very careful hes going to start having to look out for himself needing regular playing time.

What do you guys think would be the best way for us to go with this?

Don't buy Stones. JT is confident he has 2 years at the top, so is Jose, and there are no signs decline is creeping up, and even if he does, his leadership skills make up for it. Zouma will gain his place over Cahill on merit, and currently, yes he does deserve selection.

If anything, JT is still getting better. Last season was one of his best, if not the best, and having Zouma play next to him will extend his career further.

I could live with that. Its just him and Cahill together just doesnt help us all the time now but putting Zouma in would give us that extra speed needed.

I will miss the old sod when he eventually goes.

Call me crazy but waiting for the day we let Terry (along with Cahill and Ivanovic) go so that we can play a more proactive and aggressive defence. It feels like our slow, reactive and sometimes even ponderous backline is holding us back.

I understand what you're saying - but firstly, as seen previously, putting Zoum Zoum in greatly improves the defence, and secondly, while it's not completely Cahill's fault (he ends up playing 2 positions most of the time), Zouma's pace and power makes him the perfect companion to Terry.

Plus, the leadership he gives our back line is invaluable. In.Valuable. On paper, Cahill-Zouma is a fantastic pairing, (2nd best young CB in Europe and England's #1 defender) but in practice, it looks headless and misguided, as both need somebody next to them to tell them what to do - if it were not for the fact that England's defenders are simply awful, Cahill would not look good or even okay. That's why we should keep Terry. It's also why, unless Stones plays next to JT, in which case we're pretty much left in the same situation we have now with Cahill (not pro active), he will be wasted here.

Finally, after all, reactive or not, the left flank is not a problem for us, at all. Most of our goals against us are scored from Ivanovic's side. RB should be a priority. Obviously we are not going to find another Dave, but somebody close would be good - however hard, I don't think there is a team in Europe which plays with 2 traditional fullbacks, and we will probably end up being the first, especially if we get somebody like Reus to go on the right wing. Who knows, we might play inverted fullbacks. LB at RB, etc. we should look to get a backup LB like Cresswell too, rather than a CB.

Plus I kinda want him to break the appearance record. (fyi, 2 and a half season's worth of games) and also, I think in about that time, Christensen comes back from his Gladbach loan. I have high hopes for the lad. Hopefully we can look closer to home for "JT II".
