Terry Ko For Season?

[West Stand Lower 1]

Chelsea fear skipper John Terry could be ruled out for the rest of the season, according to reports.

The England captain fractured three bones in his right foot in a challenge with Emmanuel Eboue during the 1-0 defeat by Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on 16th December.

The club initially announced that the inspirational centre-back would need at least six weeks to recover from the setback, with the player setting his sights on a return to action in the middle of February.

But reports in the national press indicate that the Stamford Bridge club are concerned that Terry's recovery could take longer than anticipated.

The Blues skipper, who has been given a protective boot to wear to aid the healing process, is due to have his foot re-examined when he returns from holiday in Dubai.

Avram Grant is already looking to bolster his defensive ranks during the January transfer window, with a move for Lokomotiv Moscow's Serbian international centre-half Branislav Ivanovic on the cards.

reports saying we signed ivanovic for 8.9million

[Fulham Broadway 16,386]

Yeah heard this this morning. They were painting a worst case scenario, saying the injury is a lot worse than expected and he will not play at the same level again.

Which is why the club is pushing through the signing of Ivanovic.

[EskWeston 696]

Just basically a story for the sake of it! He could be out for the season "if the recovery is not handled properly" These breaks happen a lot these days and he will be back in as short a time as possible i would guess.

The Ivanovic deal i would presume is for the replacement of Ben Haim as we have given them a price reportedly.

It will be a massive blow if Terry is ruled out for the season,but the show must go on,and losing sleep over it certainly is'nt the way.

eboue is an idiot

eboue is an idiot

Really??.I would have alot more stronger words to describe Eboue,b,b,b,b but this is a family forum afterall and i would'nt want to be accused of inciting racial hatred.

Or is it called racialist nowadays?

Some Gooners have been very critical of him of late.....but still blinkered by their Wenger-esque comments of not seeing anything wrong with his tackle

[EskWeston 696]

With Alex becomming more and more comfortbale and confident, we miss JT less than ever before. But JT is still our leader and the best centre back there is, so the longer we are without him we will suffer.

Yeah,but what type of tackle is Wenger refering to?

On the other hand,let's not go there

[manpe 10,855]

That's it ... There it is, the reason why we're struggling. Our captain is injured all the time and we miss not only the best defender in the world (and sub him with someone who is barely in top20), but also a captain. And not only him, other captains also (Lampard vice-captain, Drogba cpt for his country and an inspirational force, Cech the confidence booster in defence)

FUCK

Naturally.The players are used to Terry being around them,like a talisman if you like.So his absence would affect the players,besides,while Lampard posseses inspiration,he lacks leadership qualities and would struggle in the face of adversity.

Yet we are still hanging in there and i think we had the best record over the crimbo period.

Cech, Cudicini, Carvalho, Terry, Makelele, Lampard, Malouda, Drogba and Shevchenko out at the moment, has to be the most talented treatment room in history...

Well they do say a picture says a thousand words !!!

[Layla 0]

I bloody hope not!Though did read the other day that he cant put pressure on him.Long as when he does return its when he's ready and not like they did with Cech,shove him on when he clearly hasnt recovered thus doing more damage.

And we do miss him!As said his Captaincy,his performances and his orgainsation of the walls etc when defending set pieces.We lost him last season for yonks didnt think we'd loose him again

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Aye, putting Cech in against Villa was a huge mistake. I'd rather we had played Hilario, at least I would be certain we had a fit goalkeeper.

[SuperSheva7 0]

Why do we have such long injuries?? seriously though, JT cant stay fit for 2 months.

Sack the Medical team!!!

Seriously,me and my pals were mulling over our injury situation yesterday.One of my pals reckons that Jose 'over-used' the likes of JT and Frank in terms of matches played.He even played them when they really were'nt needed,so their injuries are catching up with them now,probably down to wear and tear.

Makes sense if you ask me.
