I don't know why but I really think we are going to sign him!
The rumour has been going around for ages and JT has not come out and ruled the move out has he?!
It's all over todays papers and he is saying nothing.
I think JT will be playing for us next season :-)
I aint gonna read too much into Terry not turning out for this testimonial. At 1st I thought it was an official Chelsea pre-season game, but it sounds more like Terry was doing a mate a favour by allowing his name to be added to a Select XI team sheet to put bums on seats! By all accounts, half the players who were supposed to be playing didn't turn out either and none of them had anywhere near the profile of the current England captain.
Can you seriously imagine Chelsea allowing Terry to play in this match and risk injury whether or not he was about to be sold? Absolutely no way. I also agree though that there's no smoke without fire. Personally I can't stand any of that Chelsea lot which has more to do with my deep dislike of Mourinho, but I wouldn't mind half their team especially Essien over at our place.
This will be played in 2 ways:
1, Terry is using our interest to increase his wages and improve his current Chelsea contract.
2, As reported, he has become disillusioned at Chelsea and fancies a new challenge with the important emphasis being on him getting DOUBLE his current wage and a fat signing on fee!
We can all enjoy speculating and dreaming of what may or may not be, but we'll only know the full script if & when his work clothes are a lighter shade of blue. Just enjoy the ride in the meantime!!!
