It seems fear of how terry will be perceived by other fans is Chelsea's best strategy in keeping their Captain.

Terry is bigger than that. If he comes to City, we will have a chance of fighting for trophies. If you listened to Hiddink this morning, he suggested that Terry's concern is not money, but the ambitions of the club.

I don't think Terry can afford to pass up the footballing opportunity that exists at MCFC. He'll get mud flung at him in the short term by the media, but that's part of the challenge to prove that you can make history, and prove people wrong in the process

I think Terry is well aware of how he'll be viewed around the country if he does move to City.

As for Hiddink's quote I find it odd that you'd use it as a positive for City. If anything it's an encouragement for Terry to stay put.

I do.

But no matter how big your ambitions are and how much money you're willing to spend it'll take time for you to reach the level of the Europe's elite and Terry knows it better than anybody after going through it with Chelsea.

He's 29 this year and spent quite some time out with injuries over the last few seasons. His legendary status at his club,public image as Mr.Chelsea and Captain England aside he'll have to take a huge risk by accepting City offer because there are no guarantees how the things will turn out in the next few years. I'm sure MCFC will break into the top four eventually and will start winning trophies because with the amount of money the sheik is willing to spend it's only a matter of time before it'll happen.

The question is rather not if but when? Robinho,Tevez or Adebayor have got time on their side,Terry doesn't. Not only will he be branded a money grabber by every non City fan in the country, he'll risk to tarnish his reputation and legacy and quite likely end up winning less trophies just because he decided to make more money before his back finally gives up on him.

That's quite a gamble and some would say he's very likely to lose more than gain by going through with it.

Yes i agree with you. I hope JT sees it differently though.

A bonus £34m buys you a lot a lifestyle where you do not need to worry too much about having caused a bit of offence
