Conte could use him, and should   -however Leicester could be his farewell, his last game.

Hopefully if that is the case he'll get a proper send off not he may be back..oh look he's gone in summer

This policy of 30  years +  makes no sense in the case of this legend

I will be sad to see him leave. Partly because it is not the right time. John is clearly still a good defender. Despite his receding recovery pace, his reading of the game is still terrific and will still do a good enough job when called upon. The situation isn't as drastic as Ivanovic, who has completely fallen off the pace and turned into a Bosingwa this season. 

Also partly because this is the club's worst season in years and John deserves better. I think the right call would be to add a senior centreback and pair him with Zouma as the first choice pairing with John staying on for another year. He is worth hanging on to for his presence in the dressing room and his leadership skills which money cannot buy really.

That's the only thing that bothers me in this whole situation.

Ivanovic who is in the midst of his worse ever performing season, had his contract quickly renewed while the club are still assessing John's contract? 

This could be Lampard V2 all over again, although I don't see JT continuing in England he still could end up at a European club.

It's a ridiculous, superficial show of power. 

They're trying to send a message to the team, one that's about 5 years overdue, that's no-one is indispensable now. Terry, from what we seem to know, is the least disruptive in the dressing room. The only time it ever came into question was under Rafa, but Terry's since proven the Spaniard was wrong to drop him. 

One would presume Ivanovic is less out-spoken in such times. You've rarely seen him linked with any former sides that have previously clashed with the likes of Villas-Boas, Scolari, etc.

Chelsea captain John Terry's 18-year love affair at Stamford Bridge is coming to an end as the veteran defender plans £22,000 farewell shindig with his team-mates 

The shift pattern at Chelsea might be about to change but with a hashtag and a dozen letters, John Terry offered one more reason why he is going to be hard to replace.Terry, as it stands, is into the final 10 days of a career which started at 17 with a debut in the League Cup against Aston Villa and appears set to close against Leicester at the age of 35.There has been no late offer to extend his contract, he was conspicuous by his absence from the kit launch photographs released this week and, according to sources close to the club, his farewell preparations have extended to hiring the pitch at Stamford Bridge next week for a party. 

It costs £22,000 for a package which includes dressing rooms, match officials, access to the stadium screens and public address system and a barbecue.Chelsea continue to hedge bets on Terry and Guus Hiddink is skilled at dodging the question about his captain, who returned from injury for Monday's dust-up with Spurs.One fiery 2-2 draw later, he posted an Instagram message to say '27 years now #notonmyshift'.It was a reference to Tottenham's long winless run at the Bridge, another emotional bulls-eye with the fans who adore him and another hint that this was his last London derby.A summer of great upheaval is in store at Chelsea, which may be a good time to split with the skipper. There seems little desire to keep him from the decision-makers at the top of the club.Jose Mourinho championed Terry's last two, one-year contract extensions and he has gone.A warm relationship with Hiddink counts for little with Antonio Conte on the way, bringing with him a fondness for a back-three and a list of possible recruits dominated by players from Serie A.Perhaps Conte is confident he can survive without Terry.Perhaps he prefers younger, quicker, emerging centre halves like John Stones and Antonio Rudiger.Perhaps it is easier to herald a new dawn without such a strong link to that great team built in Mourinho's first spell. Perhaps it has been decreed that it is time for a new face of the club.It was never going to go down well but Chelsea supporters are puzzled after watching Terry alongside Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic, who have both been below par this season and yet extended their contracts.

Terry will be 36 in December — and Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic have proved that top centre halves can go quickly — but with no European football next season the workload would be lighter.An editorial in the March edition of fanzine cfcuk said: 'It appears that certain individuals at Chelsea completely fail to understand the relationship that supporters build with the players they idolise.'It seems some in charge are happy shopping for individual footballers who may not necessarily have an affinity with the club but are capable of doing a job before they move on to pastures new or, so it seems, are simply discarded.' 

The club-loyal, lionhearted footballer once thrived in English football but is in decline. Steve Gerrard and Jamie Carragher have gone from Liverpool. Terry is one of few remaining.His conduct has embarrassed the club at times and he has been paid £150,000 a week, so no-one is crying for his predicament. But he will leave a void when he goes. Terry has been a rarity, combining the lust for battle of an old-school, English centre half with two good feet, a range of passing and an ability to read the game.
He has been one of the great captains of the Premier League era. How do you replace leadership qualities rooted in his affection for the club at all levels?His interest in the youth system is genuine and he dug into his own pocket and raised money from the first-team dressing room when the Chelsea Ladies took a budget cut.As for the art of a farewell, Chelsea are yet to master it. Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Petr Cech shuffled off without one. Didier Drogba took things into his own hands.
Terry, too, tried to seize the initiative in January after an FA Cup tie at MK Dons when he revealed that he had not been offered a new deal and was not expecting one.

It was not well received and since then he's only started five games, largely due to injuries.Chelsea were searching for a new manager and explained that his future was part of a broader recruitment strategy, but Conte was confirmed last month and has met with Terry. Still no contract talks.Two years ago, it was mid-May before he signed but Mourinho had made it quite clear he was going nowhere, not on his shift.Terry had different vibes this time, ordering his representatives to step up the search for another club. He feels fit, will play on and remains opposed to the idea of ever playing against Chelsea.This rules out moving to another English club but a year in European football is no longer out of the question. 

If Terry wants to maximise the earning power of his final few years as a player, the appeal lies in the Far and Middle East. In March, he was in Shanghai at a Chelsea coaching clinic but the big money in China is spent on strikers, usually Brazilians.He is currently on 702 Chelsea games and 66 goals. More than 500 have been as captain.Whatever you might think of John Terry, that's not a bad shift.

We should keep Terry, but he must accept bench role.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Wouldn't surprise me to see the club let him walk and hand the armband to Gary fucking Cahill.

If you wanted to do it, it was probably a bad idea to say on a public site that you are going to!
