Says some random bloke on the Internet who has no track record of saying anything of any interest whatsoever.
Well, that's it then. I bow to your superior knowledge. ;)

I wonder if Terry is really pissed with chelsea at the way in which they are playing this out in the media?

Can I just make an observation?
We definitely need a leader and so I can understand why we decided to bid for John Terry but here's the thing ..... would you say he is currently displaying outstanding leadership qualities right now by keeping the fans and his team mates completely in the dark?

chelsea shot their load too soon by briefing the press. the pressure is back on them now. when the stories appeared midweek I thought they were true, because if they weren't, they were just making the situation worse for themselves. they are a silly bunch of sods. you can tell the left arm doesn't know what the right is doing. Cook, Khaldoun and Hughes look far more in control of our club than the chelsea mob.

If his intention is to stay at Chelsea, then definitely not. If his intention is to come to City, can't see why his future City team mates would have a problem with it.

Makes you wonder why Chelsea don't just tell Terry, instead of talking to him through the papers.moomba said:Read the Telegraph piece earlier, seems to me that the press are being briefed in what Chelsea would like Terry to do, but Terry (for whatever reason) isn't playing the game.

It copuld be because they know he is leaving but are leveraging as high a fee as possible whilst apopeasing their fans making it look like they wanted to keep him at all costs but JT forced the move.

It's certainly not as straight forward as some would think, he may still be coming, who knows?In The Know said:squirtyflower said:Makes you wonder why Chelsea don't just tell Terry, instead of talking to him through the papers.

I see your angle mate, but i'm struggling to also see how Ancelotti would make such veerment statements of him staying because boy will he look a twat if he leaves.

Ancelotti is just Roman's yes man, does as he is told, just like when he was Berlosconi's yes man.Marvin said:It's vehement by the way
Ancelotti maybe telling the truth, or he maybe trying to put pressure on Terry. If he leaves, CFC can argue, or pretend that it was over their dead body.

This was doing my head in as well. There are only two possibilities:
1. He is being lied to by his bosses.
2. He's being told the truth by his bosses, but realises that if he says anything other than Terry is staying 100%, then the cat is out of the bag, and an enormous backlash against Terry by the fans would be caused. massively weakening Chelsea's bargaining position.
Obviously, there is an option 3, which is that he's telling the truth, but I've discounted that one because he's a pathological liar.

Yes mate, Ancellotti will look a twat if Terry leaves after making such vehement (Thank you Marvin) statements of him staying!

Ancelotti has been put in a bad position, hasn't he. No one in the press or public will ever trust his word again if Terry leaves now. People are already questioning his, and Chelsea's honesty over all of this. No one believes that Chelsea have any grounds on which to report city. This is the best transfer saga ever, they're tying themselves in knots trying to manage it. Even if we don't get the player, it's been worth it.

fully agree with this.......we,re in a win/win situation......ok we MAY not get terry,but we,ll move on,get other quality defenders AND make chelsea look totally incompetant.....
