John Terry [Merged]

one of the best in europe???

and what terry does show by being interested in joining us is wanting to be a part of something special,a transition.that he feels he no longer gets at chelsea.
we can talk about ambition because that is what we at city have in abundance from the fans right up to our owner.and nowthe wheels are firmly in motion to achieve our goals and the "top 4" are shitting bricks.

Yes, one of the best in Europe.
03/04 - CL semifinal - Shouldn't of played Veron in the away leg, I remember being chuffed when Jesper scored!
04/05 - CL semifinal - You were robbed by a goal that never was
05/06 - 1st knockout stage
06/07 - CL semifinal
07/08 - CL final - You battered the rags
08/09 - CL semifinal - Do I need to quote Drogba?

I'd call that being one of the best in Europe. With a little bit of luck we could have won the thing but no one can deny we were one of the best and most consistent teams in Europe this past few years.

I can understand City fans desire to believe that these big names joining them now do it for other reasons than just filling their pockets, but you don't have to be a genius to realize that a player like Terry at this stage of his career has nothing to gain by that move except doubling his wages. Even Barry may have a bit of a case by switching from Villa since he had won fuck all there and may be thinking he's got a better shot with City. What will Terry ever be able to accomplish with MCFC that he already hasn't done with Chelsea?

We as a club have been through that before. Roman spent the most money in his first summer yet we won nothing under Ranieri in 03/04. Most of the big names from the continent like Veron,Cespo,Mutu etc never settled and eventually left. Until you get the right manager and the right set of players you'll never accomplish anything, even with lots of money. Then there's a question of huge disparity in wages within the squad and all these big egos in the dressing room. Are you sure Hughes is capable of handling them?

Defo agree with you mate.

My theory/feelings are simple:

United and Chelsea are the only teams who currently look like they can win something every year - Arsenal and Liverpool do not. Yes, we might not have won anything for 33 years, but Arsenal haven't won anything for 5, nor really looked like winning anything - so does that make them more attractive than us? I don't think so. And on the 'winning things recently' topic, Portsmouth are a more attractive prospect than Liverpool.

European football you say. Well in that case Fulham are a more attractive team than us - in reality, no.

With no disrespect to Ancelotti - he can't (and hasn't) say anything about City yet as he might be as useful as Scolari was in the Premier League. Unfortunately (and it pains me to say this) the only manager that can critisize City is Ferguson.

So by your reckoning Terry and his likes would play for Wolves if they offer them enough wages, true that wages are a big thing but don't you think you need to have some real bollocks backing up the wages....Like a certain project???

We have to start somewhere.

I don't know, I don't post on the Shed. I don't really believe ITK's even if people say they are well respected etc. Because often their timings are way out or they are wrong.

I'm just interested to know if he has a good track record or not!

Hmm, yeah, it would be interesting. I don't see many Chelsea ITKs' either :P

Wish I was an ITK.

Breaking News- My source just bumped into Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi and they are staying at a hotel in London. They are sharing a room with Roman Abramovic and have all handed in transfer requests at their respective clubs (despite two of them not even having kicked a ball for their club).

F*ckin el, retract that quick, that will be believed by many on here, and you will forever be denying ITK status and requests for pm's!!!

I believe City's best shot at stardom is getting someone like Mourinho. He knows what it takes to win in England, he's still young and ambitious and I don't see him sticking around Serie A for longer than another season, especially if Inter once again fail in the CL.

That would be your best signing ever.

Whilst I completely know what you mean (Hughes hasn't proved he is a winner in management), I think you'll agree that chopping and changing manager gets you nowhere.

I don't know what your feelings on our club is, but I've got a lot of Chelsea mates and we have respect for one another. We both want to see teams in red crash and burn!

a Stoke forum per chance....

 

[bluemonkey71]

email from my chelsea mate..probably means bugger all

"Chelsea season tickets were released a few weeks ago with 10 legends in a row displayed on them, from John Terry to Peter Osgood via Gianfranco Zola…

Chelsea memberships were released this morning with 10 legends in a row displayed on them too… Same players shown, except JT has been removed and Lamps in his place…"

Yeah, my Season Ticket has JT on it. Peter Osgood, Ray Wilkins, Dennis Wise, Marcel Dessaily, Gianfranco Zola and John Terry from left to right.

He says "Just seems strange to change it as previously the membership and season ticket display look identical…"

He's a long time season ticket holder...

that was posted on here last night between a guy who owns a hotel in dublin and another guy. it came of the stoke forum.

still good to have a few people sayin it. makes me believe more. nice one

 

[LongsightM13]

Nah. My milkman swears he saw Terry going into the Hotel International in London Road, opposite Piccadilly Station (you know, next door to a ropey gay bar, poster advertising ROOMS FROM ONLY £15 PER NIGHT!)

Can't be true though. If it was a transfer target for the Skint Rags then I might've believed him . . .
