John Terry [Merged]

[nhsuperstar]

Random ramblings of a Mirror columnist seems to support Terry joining us, but perhaps for all the wrong reasons in our eyes...

"You're 29 this year. Your back's gone and you cost £6.5m in wages... and you're a centre-half. Go and live your dream with the Eastland Arabs"
Why does this fool make this comment twice in 1 report? Another piece of Daily Mirror anti city journalism. All that was missing was the words "likkle Citeh"
Patronising Idiot!!!

I think it's a very good article, and it was laugh out loud funny. Nothing to complain about at all, you're overreacting, he didn't say one bad thing about City in the whole article.

he doesnt have to mate. its just always seems very patronising when it comes from The Mirror. Thats just my opinion of course

Was just reading an article in today's Guardian about everyone's favourite big-time bull-shitter Sulaiman al-Fahim and his shambolic take-over of Portsmouth, and spotted this little nugget discreetly hidden at the bottom of the page:

Chelsea, meanwhile, are not prepared to offer John Terry an increase in salary to stay at the club, following the 28-year-old's reported interest in a move to Manchester City.

"He will not be paid a penny more by the club," a Stamford Bridge source said. "There is a strong confidence that John Terry will stay."

I can't see Terry being happy with this stance, considering his problem allegedly centres around not feeling adequately valued by the club.

If the above quote really represents Chelsea's stance, I'd say it looks good for him handing in a transfer request - in which case I can see him being at City next season, like it or not!

All these gentle nudges and snippets. kind of just adds fuel to the fire. like several posters have commented on here it just feels like he is slowly being pushed out of the door.

Pushed out of the door? "He's got a three year contract. He's staying. John Terry will stay at Chelsea for life." That's pushing him out of the door?

This one won't happen I'm afraid. If it does, I'll ride a sheep and post evidence on here.

He doesn't have to say anything about City to insult them? :D

John Terry has proved throughout this that he is not Chelsea to the core but is only John Terry through and through.

Its all about what he can glean from our interest.

We,ll see. its just the wording mate. "not a penny more!" its a bit like they are goading him. its all this business about him not feeling valued or wanted as we are led to believe. As for three year contract. The majority of players who move on have a current contract. we all know they are pretty much worthless nowadays.

I've been thinking about this Terry transfer and something doesn't add up. Obviously MH identified the fact we needed a centre half and a leader. There are plenty of centre halves in the world who could do a job for us so why Terry. What I mean is surely Terry is one of the people that MH would not attempt to buy given the fact he IS Mr Chelsea , spent his career there and obviously has a big say on what goes on.
In other words MH must have been given some encouragement from somewhere to even attempt to sign him and that could only come from Terry himself.
Whether that came direct from Terry to Hughes or via England team mates isn't known but their must be some contact to start this transfer saga.
Given that senario I would say their is a better than even chance that Terry will indeed sign.
Just my opinion - ready to be shot down!

Its journalism! its open to interpretation and thats how interpret it. its a bit like your comments about Lampard breaking both his legs. Some will find it nasty and some will find it amusing. you pays your money you takes your choice as they say
