Re: Chelsea reject Terry offer [Merged]

I doubt City can give a much firmer assurance, though, because when really big money is spent, the owners will expect success.

That's ridiculous, Mourinho won the Premiership title 2 years running and got the sack, Grant nearly got the Premiership and got to the Champions League final only losing on penalties and got the sack. You can't possibly say these sackings were warranted! That's not like having millions and finishing 10th!! If Hughes gets 4th next season he'll still be here for 2010/2011 season. If Ancelotti and Chelsea are in 4th at Christmas will he still be there in January? I seriously doubt it.

But nevertheless I think you are a level headed and fair judge of the situation so far mate, you're welcome to post your balanced comments on here. A refreshing change to some that have been on here recently.

[qu

and for terry to have alledgedly text bridge to "get me out of here" says to me theres more to this transfer

Seriously, do people honestly believe this stuff ? JT and Bridge arent even that close. Bridge wasnt even at his wedding.

Jody Morris was though.

Yes so was Wanye Bridge

"Wayne and Coleen will arrive by helicopter.

Also attending will be a slew of Terry?s Chelsea team-mates: Wayne and Vanessa Bridge, Frank Lampard and Elen Rives, Joe Cole and Carly Zucker.

Jose Mourinho and Peter Kenyon will also be there with their partners"

So Mark Hughes Wayne Bridge & SWP

Ronaldo trained for United for a season, but the deal was done and he left. Players train. The talking happens after training. If there is no statement from Terry over the next few day's or early next week, then the move could happen?

Re: Chelsea reject Terry offer [Merged]

Allegedly we are offering him £150,000 a year, so to bring him level with Lampard, so that surely covers recognition and respect? We have put in an offer for Ribery and plan on signing Sneidjer with the change, so that covers ambition. We will be in the running for the title this year, and, I think this season the trophy will be going South purely because United are much weaker than last season and Liverpool haven't improved, where as if you believe the papers we will have improved hugely, so that covers opportunities for silverware.

We are offering him massive amounts of money, though not the monster wage being offered by City, so that is the only reason I can imagine he'd want to go.

I mean City will have success but, in all respect, they are building up that success. It's not like with Chelsea where we had a Champions League and cup winning squad before the money (and the money turned us into a title winning team within two seasons). This is a job where nearly the whole club with have to be overhauled, and I can't see that happening quickly. Also, the new players will have to learn how to work as a team- this is the problem Chelsea had in 2003/04 (the first season of our buyout) where there were so many new players, it was hard to get them to work together.

So, it's my belief that Terry would either be benched, sold or retired by the time City are in Chelsea's position, and that's why I believe there is only one reason why Terry would leave the club at this point in time.

And what assureances will they give him that the manager won't be changed in the blink of an eye again? I think none!

I doubt City can give a much firmer assurance, though, because when really big money is spent, the owners will expect success.

Morning Fulhamrd mate and welcome.

What City are doing here is very very clever.

Yes we want Terry, who wouldnt, a born winner and a leader.

If we pull this off great but if not we have still won and let me explain pal.

We are now flexing our financial muscle to the point where the money on offer at City is way beyond what anyone else can sustainably afford. Yes you might keep Terry but he now knows the type of package that we are willing to give and believe me he will want the same to stay at Chelsea. We are upping the anti for all the so called big 4 in this country because all of your future targets i think its fair to say will be of interest to us as well. Money talks mate and for you to get them will mean paying much more in both transfer fees and wages than you want. You will then have the rest of your squads banging on the door asking for parity or they will be off.

This is ecactly what you boys did to the rest of the prem when Red Rom entered the fray and now its exactly the thing that our owners are going to do.

The question is, does Red Rom have the finances and more importantly the appetite to take us on?

I think Roman is definitely up to it, and probably will have the finances to match City. I look at it like, City's owners are ridiculously rich and will put a portion of their wealth into City and Abramovic who isn't as rich will put a higher portion of his wealth into Chelsea.

I reckon City will have the edge in terms of spending, Roman will definitely be up to it- he genuinely loves the club according to my mates from the USA Chelsea fan club who were visited by the man himself for a match last season. I think if there is any doubt in terms of finances, Roman is draft in a partner.

I also reckon that City will be similar to Chelsea in that once they have built a squad that works there will only be two or three additions every season, rather than adding massive names every year.

Top post by the way, mate.

Have to say, I reckon it'll be between you and us in a few years. United can fuck right off :P

'Tin hat' time but here goes, heard a snippit last night that JT should be back in training today at Chelsea for his first day of pre season. A failry good source told me last night that he is, in actual fact, meeting City at 11 today...Long shot i know, but from someone who isnt into wind ups, and is very very close to the club.

Does anyone know anything else about if he turned up for training?
