What's new

The John Terry Appreciation Thread

With talk of allegri and conte coming in, it got me thinking that going 3 at the back could prolong jt's career, and in fact he would be vital to organising a 3 man defence.

Zouma and a new left sided centre back, preferably laporte, but Umtiti would be a good fit also, with terry in the middle organizing.

 
Finished ? yeah right. Give him a new contract and keep doing it until he decides to call it a day, the guy is the heart of that squad right now.

 
No excuse for not offering him a contract while giving one to Ivanovic. Costa looked a little frightened today when JT was celebrating with him

 
If Ivanovic got a new contract, why this legend won't get?

       give the man a new contract ,  he is still solid as a rock . Age is nothing when you have a footy brain like JT.  Davie Weir was a colossus for Rangers into his 40's

 
Souness spoke alot of sense after the match. Basically said that there is nothing wrong with his performance levels and it makes no sense to get rid of him.

Have to agree. He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. Yeah he started badly but so did the whole team. He's performed well this season on whole.

There was something in the telegraph today saying that Jose believed it was JT's las season at Chelsea. It could be that the club are carrying on what Jose thought.

 
Souness also said about how will other players feel when they see someone like Terry being treated like this. I do think Terry will be there next year but what I don't understand is why are the club treating him like this? Basically they are treating him like crap and he should of been given a new contract months ago. Way before bloody Ivanovic did, that's what makes it even worse.

 
Problem is that the Board might see this as a matter of pride and will throw logic out the window to prove that they won't be dictated to by fans, the media or players.

Our Board like to create the impression that they are masterminds with a clear vision of the club's future direction.

In reality they are making it up as they go along.

 
Zouma's injury may have helped John Terry. If Kurt has a torn ACL or something similar, he's looking at a whole season out. The board would be crazy not to renew John Terry's contract.

Real Madrid has treated its longtime players even worse, and they have no problems getting players. I don't think young players, young people in general for that matter, think that far ahead.

They may be able to still sign the players but look at the state of them, they are a soulless club. The way they treat players and their whole attitude in general creates a weird atmosphere at that club. It's why their success is so sporadic. I really don't want us to turn out like Real Madrid.

 
I still think its 100% down to the next manager, who we havent got sorted out yet (probably).

The new manager may want to start afresh completely, but if he's any sense he'll want to have JT there to help him settle.

If the new manager decides he doesn't want Terry then he will need some very good results to get the fans on his side.

 
Just saw the highlights again. That passion from JT when Costa scored the equalizer is undeniable.

We need that, we need JT.

I don't know how this is even up for discussion.

 
Keown constantly taking shots at JT lately.

Firstly saying Adams was a much better centre back, now saying he lacked dignity over the contract situation.

I'm sure you've always had dignity Martin, just ask Ruud.

Love this picture (nicked from JT's instagram) - just seems to sum them both up.  If (when?) Jose goes to Manure, this is going to be my new avatar.

Unlikely to happen (although after Frank anything is possible) but IF Jose goes to United and IF we don't offer him a new contract then what are the chances of him going up there? He's Mr Chelsea and I do think he sincerely loves this club and it's fans but from an objective, cold view (you know, the one the club has adopted in it's contract negotiations with him) it could be an ideal move. He'd get one last tilt at success, he knows the coach better than anyone and he knows that the coach would put him in the best possible system to cover his weaknesses and lengthen what career he has left.

Unlikely I know.

If that's a depressing thought, just think that we might hire a coach who doesn't actually want JT around. Either that or we have a board who doesn't understand what he represents to the supporters. Happy Monday Everyone!
