Yeah, but you're forgetting that the club was getting tax cuts by listing Terry's wages as charity....   What the actual fuck are you even talking about? Yeah, Terry has been basically leaching o

I had the privilege of meeting this gentlemen about 3 or 4 times over his playing career. At one of the signings he wanted to know my story and how long I've been supporting Chelsea and how long I was

As great captain and defender he has been and STILL is, it has to be said that he does limit our playing against tough opponents. We are unwilling to take the initiative and start possession play with a high-line defence as long as he is in our starting XI. Simply too slow for that type of play. What do you guys think, does JT26 still have one more year as our number one defender or has the time simply passed by one of the top defenders of modern football era?

It's okay when we have one very proactive defender (Zouma) playing. JT's positional play is world class, he can act as a sweeper/cover. It's a problem when we have two defenders that cover (Cahill and Terry). JT is smart enough to accommodate the high line as long as he has the right partner.

Not at his best against PSG, but he has had to play without rest for a month now.

Zouma with Terry is enough for the short term.

sure. But in summer we have to look ahead. Terry is not getting any younger, neither are Ivanovic and Cahill.

Our defence is not shit even though it often looks that way, especially in the big games, but it is still overrated by the media esp JT and Iva.

JT needs to be given an extra year. Neither of our 3 senior defenders can still play as much as this season again. Not only does he deserve it bae, But keeping him is necessary to smoothen the transition. There are not exactly many experienced, world-class defender available atm however JTs continued presence will work wonders easing guys like Laporte or Stones into our defence. It is amazing how much JT, after having given everything to the club, has still to offer. He will be there for us whenever needed - unconditionally. People cal him a legend, but he is more than that. He is one of us.

Terry - Zouma will be fine next season, maybe occasionally the season after but we need Varane. Unconditionally, to make our system work we need proactive defenders.

Terry should be working with these young defenders over the next season and a bit and when he finally declines further to the point it'd be like playing Cahill - Cahill then if Cech is still here he can be the experience behind with Zouma - Varane. If we want Varane though... This summer will be now or never.

I know we all drool at the thought of the Varane/Zouma team and Id give my left dangley to make it happen but we know its going to be a sod trying to get him. And with JT on form and refusing to let his Duracell batteries run down hes not going to give up his spot without a scrap. and unlike our beloved Lamps and Cashley he dont mind the years contract (and didnt he even take a pay cut?) So do we get Varane (or whoever) and let him get playing time like Zouma so he can just step into the squad full time when JT goes or do we wait till the last minute and grab who we can get? Its looking like CB's are in need right now so its a sellers market.

Yeah be nice for him to play in the final seeing as both times we won in Europe he was suspended and then injured and Moscow ended crap

You can imagine how he felt not playing in the final. I didnt mind at all him coming on in his kit holding the cup. The lad bleeds Chelsea and his testimonial (he better bloody get one) is going to be a belter.
