The John Terry Appreciation Thread

Like i said time to move to the office i don't think he should enter management either as I don't want his football reputation to be damaged

 
Currently can't get a place in the team, probably will get some play time over the Christmas period or in the Fa Cup. Very odd not to see him in the team after so many years, i also feel this will be his final season as a Chelsea player. Hope he hangs his boots and gets a job at the club where he belongs, he can still be lured by the American and Chinese millions and finish his career abroad. Time will tell, but our greatest captain ever and very few will reach his heights.

 
agreed. for my money he's still the best defender we have but his mobility is reduced even from what it was three or four years ago, and that makes it very difficult for him to play in the current system. technically he could do the job luiz is doing, but luiz is playing well and has the pace to cover for two players who will need covering from time to time.

it is unfortunate for him, but it is good for us that for the first time since (I would guess) 2002 we are able to leave him out of the side and still look very solid and organised at the back. 

I can't see him getting a new deal though. christensen will come back and I think we'll spend big on another defender too. that doesn't leave much room for him and I don't think he's ready to retire.

2014/15 was his swan song in many ways. It really couldn't have gone any better, he was the best CB in the league that season and played every minute of every PL game. Looking back maybe he should have called time then and moved into coaching. What a way to bow out that would have been.

IMO he's the best CB I've ever seen and certainly the best captain I've ever seen.

Yeah I wonder if he feels he's ready to retire yet. He said last year that he felt he had a couple of seasons left in him. 

But then he's talked about retiring at Chelsea being the "fairytale" so maybe he will. It would be a shame for him to leave for another club.

I second that. Although additional year does not hurt that much.

 
Terry picked up an injury playing for the development team earlier in the week. 

Looks like the injuries are starting to catch up with him a bit now, I don't remember him missing this much football through injuries before. 

Happens to a lot of players when they reach their mid thirties, the injuries become more frequent... Sadness me to say it but it looks like JT's days for being a Chelsea regular are over. 

 
He took a massive paycut and that interview just goes to show he's a chelsea fan.. 1 man club player..
