John Terry

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

I said this a few days ago and people were cutting me up for not backing JT. Like everyone else I love the guy he's been heart and soul of this team for many years but if we want to evolve into an elite team on the continent we need to replace sooner rather than later.

(insert 'him to')

He better be given a coaching role when he retires, if not I'll be furious.

[mediator 2,026]

He should stay in the squad next season, as a locker room leader and as a veteran player (4th CB).

His experience is still huge for Zouma (and Stones?)

The incredible aggressiveness we've used in our Stones pursuit means we are thinking very hard about replacements doesn't it?

But from what I've read on here it's a replacement for Cahill and not John

[Pizy 18,416]

When he comes outside of our penalty area in defensive situations he looks like I would if I pulled on a Chelsea shirt, i.e. a fish out of water. He looked like an old man when he came out to defend Silva before the Agüero goal I think it was.

Still our best CB but a part of me is glad José demonstrated today that even our legendary captain isn't invincible and exempt from getting benched. It also means that if we get Stones, JT isn't the one nailed on to be his defensive partner.

Mourinho on why he took Terry off at HT...

http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/08/final-whistle-verdict--man-city-away.html

Surprisingly blunt. I can see the media milking this statement and attempt to spark 'a row'.

Off - Where's the dude that said Zouma isn't the fastest and questioned his pace not too long ago?

Jose Mourinho: John Terry wasn't dancing in the dressing room

Aw come on, our team is lead by world experts, not talkchelsea members. Jose knows how often Terry takes a crapper and what color is it! And of course everyone at the club is aware how old is Terry and how important it is to get a replacement.

We tried Varane before, then failed. Now it's Stones and if we fail, we'll return next year with more money and determination.

Aguero ripped him a new one today No hard feelings, Aguero is probably the best striker in the world at this moment.

You're confusing JT with Cahill. JT didn't duel that much with Aguero because Aguero kept picking on Cahill.

Jose Mourinho warned John Terry over first team place a week before trip to Manchester City

Mourinho was apparently not happy with Terry's performance against Swansea but on the other hand, he is happy with Ivanovic's performance...

[Last Sicarius 610]

Soo his performace isnt to good or JM jus fing new man to blame?

[robsblubot 3,529]

John terry should be thanking mourinho for sparing him from the trashing in the second half.

Jose said we played better in the second, but then how bad it's going to be when we play bad? 5 or 6?!

Gary Neville: It's not over for Terry

Niall Quinn believe Terry’s legs are finally starting to give way its time to get stones in

[lionsden 4,689]

JT has been a great servant (perhaps the greatest servant in the club's history) but we need to move on by phasing him out gradually.Due to his limitations (lack of pace/athleticism) he requires too much protection and makes it difficult to play high pressing game against good and pacy teams.

agree he is the only leader we have

I just hope he's not going to sulk like Lampard did under Villas-Boas. Terry has always maintained he's happy to be benched if players better than him are playing and I don't think he can argue Zouma doesn't deserve to play. When/if Stones comes, I hope he'll accept the situation.
