Re: Is anyone that arsed if John Terry doesn't sign?
I think it is ridiculous the amount of money we are supposed to have offered for a CB (albeit very good) at the back end of his career. We are in danger of becoming a laughing stock with these offers for players that if we are honest, we know they wont come here. Kaka, E'to, and the latest one, John Terry. We should concentrate on signing players that are realistic targets and will improve the team, like Gareth Barry, RSC, posssibly Lescott, and players that are excellant in the PL, but are not considered world superstars. World superstars will not come here until we are in the CL. We are in a catch 22 situation. To get the top stars we need to be in the CL, but we wont get there without top stars, and despite our money the top stars are rich enough to knock us back. So the answer is to do an "Everton or Villa" and get to the top 6 first. Then we can attract a better class of player and have a go at the top 4 which will then allow us to go for the top players. Sorry to sound so negative but its going to take 2/3 years before we can get the really big boys down here.
