Re: Terry - it looks on?

300 grand a week? He's fuckin shite.

There's far better centre backs than him for those sums.

One of the best defenders around.

Is he bollocks.

I know, he's only England captain and one of the most respected defenders in world football.

Haha, that's a good one.

Manchester City wait for John Terry to talk before deciding on another bid

John Terry arrives back for his first day of pre-season training tomorrow with the Chelsea captain's future still unresolved until he makes a public statement regarding Manchester City's interest following the club's second formal bid, of £30m, last week.

Chelsea have made their public stance clear through a statement rejecting the bid, a position that was further emphasised by Carlo Ancelotti, the new head coach, and the chief executive, Peter Kenyon, both confirming that the 28-year-old was not for sale.

It is understood that Roman Abramovich does not wish to sell the England captain, and the club insist that Terry has told them he intends to remain at Stamford Bridge.

City, for their part, are thought to be refusing to make a third official offer for the player until he speaks publicly. The club are aware that if Terry goes on the record to confirm his desire to continue at Chelsea that may well, for the time being at least, be the end of the matter.

However, until he does so there is a view at Eastlands that his ongoing silence may well be an encouraging sign, and that he is seriously considering what would be his final opportunity to make a big move during his peak years.

City are also conscious that, given Chelsea's reluctance, Terry would have to make a formal transfer request to leave the club. If he was to do so then it is thought that there is scope for an improved bid from City for the player as the manager, Mark Hughes, views Terry's ability and leadership qualities as essential to what is seen in Manchester as a pivotal season in the club's development now that the billionaire Sheikh Mansour has owned City for close to a year.

I have been very confident of this deal coming off even slapping 50 dabs on, but i'm not so sure anymore.

Re: Chelsea reject Terry offer [Merged]

The Times doesn't think a transfer request is imminent:

John Terry due for talks with Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti

John Terry is due to have a meeting with Carlo Ancelotti at the Chelsea training ground today, but a possible move for the centre back to Manchester City is likely to be referred to only in passing.

With Terry and the rest of those on international duty with England and Portugal not previously due back for pre-season training, today offers the first opportunity for captain and manager to sit down and talk. If Terry has anything to say about City’s interest, it is likely to be to thank Ancelotti for his declaration on Monday that his role as Chelsea captain is secure for the duration of his career. Terry is understood to have communicated his satisfaction with the manager’s stance.

Consolidation is the order of the day. Contract negotiations with Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda and Joe Cole are believed to be progressing, while the rumoured departures of Deco and Ricardo Carvalho to Inter Milan are not said to be imminent.

Chelsea remain committed to breaking even by next year, subject to the availability of what Bruce Buck, the chairman, calls “a marquee name”. However, that will not mean an increase in the club’s valuation of Franck Ribéry, the Bayern Munich and France winger.

More in line with the club’s new economic thinking is the signing of Ross Turnbull, who was presented yesterday after allowing his contract with Middlesbrough to expire.

Poor piece of journalism considering malouda signed an extension a few weeks back. How some of these people are paid to do this is beyond me.
