The John Terry Appreciation Thread

I find it cringy fans protesting over a millionaire sportsman being offered a contract, he has won everything there is to win, I suppose you could describe it as a "first world problem"

 
Tell you one thing, the timing of the offer from us, the date it was announced, the publicity was all planned. Down to the very last detail.  They're playing poker with JT.  

 
JT's Instagram has basically confirmed that he's been offered a sh*t sandwich.

This is pretty much a Cold War now.

 
I agree I hope JT signs but I am clearly in the minority who would understand if Terry didn't sign because of the length of time it had been left to actually offer the deal.

If he turns it down for money I'd be disappointed unless it is a ridiculously derisory offer.

No matter what he decides he'll always be Mr Chelsea to me!

 
‘A different role’, they want him to play up front, or is he now a player/coach?

 
For anyone not on Insta

I would like JT to stay on for next season, leadership and experience at winning are invaluable traits that

leave with him out the door if he goes, rather him/they stay at CFC so that they potentially 'rub off' onto the less

experienced players

I'll reserve judgment on the speculation of Chelsea bluffing him until the smoke clears, although my initial jubilation

at the news is now a lot less tempered, because of that and the Instagram that just got posted 

never a dull moment with Chelsea FC 

 
By different role maybe he means no longer captain or maybe no longer first choice or maybe both.

 
Most likely means diff role, as in literally.  Maybe a move to coach is my guess, and no longer on playing staff.  Which is why it needs considering

 
Interesting choice of words. He says it's a "contract extension" but then a "different role". If it were a non player role, it would be strange to call it an extension.

Fascinating game between JT's representatives (I don't for one second believe that JT is deciding these public statements himself) and the board.

Well JT is the kind that needs to play all the time. I just think he is offered less money and no guarantees for playtime. I think he'll go to US

I wish people would stop bringing up that bo**ocks about Terry flirting with City. There was never any doubt that Terry was going to sign a new deal with us at the time, the only reason why Terry hadn't signed a new deal is because the club were taking so long to offer him one, like they did with every player at the time. As soon as a new contract was offered, Terry signed it. Lampard was in exactly the same situation once. There was talk, all coming from the media, that he could leave because he was entering the last year of his contract and nothing had been signed yet, the reason was because there was no contract offered. The club has been offering new deals at the last minute for years now, the media turns it into something different though and says the player may be looking to leave.

People should stop taking what the media says so seriously. The stories about Terry flirting with City was all coming from the media, it's what they do, we all know this by now surely.

sorry Scott but was told years ago by someone in the know that the meeting and discussion with city did take place and city kept uping his requests.

His idea of a sh*t sandwich probably looks f**king fantastic to any one of us mere mortals though. If he cares for the club then money shouldn't be an issue. He has got china or usa to fall back on in a year anyway, and I highly doubt he's being paid just enough to pay the bills lol.
