John Terry

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

The smart thing to do with people like Terry (and Lampard) would be to keep them at the club in a sub-role and I don't know, teach the kids while keeping them focused at the same time. He's not worse than any other defender you have and Ivanovic gets a new fucking contract. And then people get mad when Lamps signs for City.

Good that you know him personally. Speaking about football like we do here, saying he is a fantastic footballer would have sufficed.

Any man that cheats on his wife and children isn't a top man in my books.

At the end of the day, you'd be shunned away from all CFC pubs, shunned away from all Chelsea players who have played in our team with Terry, if you aren't torn by this. Imagine wearing a Barcelona kit, walking into the local pub and proclaiming you don't care about Xavi or Puyol leaving. Imagine walking into a Rome pub full of Roma fans, yourself included, to then share how fine you are with Totti's contract not being renewed. Imagine the day Del Piero left Juve, do you think any supporters were passive about the old geezer who's seen better days leaving? 

 

Now let's take a great player who's old. Di Natate. If Udinese decide to stop offering him contracts, i don't know what will happen, the stadium might be torn down.

Every club's supporters have turned around saying "wait, what?" after letting Pirlo leave. 

Tis nonsensical.

No offense, but didn't he pork a teammate's wife and then secretly paid for the abortion?

I'd say that's pretty shitty.

Not that it matters.

That's just your (uninformed) opinion. I don't know him personally so I can't say otherwise. But anyway none of that has any relevance what so ever to how much of a stupid decision that only weakens the CLUB this is.

No disrespect Chou, but Terry is your favourite player and I think that sentiment is overriding any rationality on your part.

No matter when Terry left there was always going to be this reaction.

No disrespect, but most of the content of your posts on this so far has been based speculative conclusions (he only cares about himself and is manipulating the fans, Iva will be sold anyway, no future manager would want him in the team...etc.) while you have actually failed to address any of the points I've raised in response and just moved onto another point in each post. Not sure how you can subsequently accuse anyone of irrationality.

And since you feel the need to question my personal motivations for this opinion, let me as well tell you that I think you're trying a bit too much to swim against the flow and be controversial.

Last sentence is also obviously false. Of course had we, say, signed a couple of top defenders and JT had found himself on the bench for most of the matches then the reaction of most Chelsea fans would have been VERY different.

It's hard to unimformed when he betrayed his wife and family. That is a pretty strikingly obvious trait of a person that I don't have much respect for.

I don't know about the abortion part, sounds really made up, and the rest of the story you could only read from the Chelsea and especially Terry hating press. Afaik JT and Bridge's wife continue denying those accusations. And yes, not that it matters, everybody knows he can be a dick but we are talking football here, and the main point that should have been stressed was that he is a fantastic footballer, not the cretin part.

I swear, when I was reading this on SkySports, I thought it was not real, it was a dream, that this simply cannot be happening. Holy shit, what the fuck is this? Why let go someone who breathes Chelsea and has blue blood in everything he does? Why is the club not letting its legends retire in the fucking club? A fucking joke this. It must be heartbreaking for him Yet Ivanovic is happily sleeping with a new contract. Fuck off

It wasn't Bridges' wife, it was his ex-girlfriend.

[Leif 6,006]

The board are obviously clueless about the appeal both Mourinho & Terry have alone. Both are people who can just pick up the phone and convince the biggest figures in world football to join the club. I'm not so sure Oscar or Conte/Guus/some bloke from Chile have the same draw. 

It's either that or the draw never existed, but i don't believe that. This club is so shit at valuing intangible qualities.

Perhaps. Think I took less interest in that sensationalist story than everybody else.
