John Terry [Merged]

[Dubai Blue]

Obviously its the pot calling the kettle black but if chelsea arent up for selling JT they could see their arse about Hughes' comments in the press and claim our player was 'tapped up'. I dont think we've heard the last of this. But money talks and the arabs can sink anyting roman throws at them.

A common misconception amongst our fans (mostly when having a pop at Twitcher) and the media, is that this kind of thing constitutes tapping up. It doesn't. We've made an official bid and now Hughes is saying how great he is and that maybe he'd fancy a new challenge. He's speaking in very general terms. Nothing wrong with that.

If we'd gone behind Chelsea's backs and met him to discuss possible contract terms, then that would be tapping up. This isn't. (I'm aware that such a meeting may have happened in Dubai, but if it did, it happened in private and can never be proved, unlike Chelsea's hamfisted meeting with Cole in a public restaurant).

Twitcher is a master at this and has yet to be done for tapping up. And Hughes's words sound like a very carefully drafted statement. Our lawyers will have been all over this to ensure that he said enough without saying too much.

In short, Chelsea can fuck right off, the hypocritical cockney twats.

p.s. Peter Kenyon is on Jeff Randell Live on Sky News tonight. May be worth watching.

Definitely nothing illegal about Hughes' comments. Note how he said we can offer a change of scenery, rather than "John wants a change of scenery". All of the comments were carefully worded to avoid incrimination but reading between the lines we know exactly what the deal is here. Mr Chelsea wants out

On one hand i'm so excited\about who we are bringing in and what we can do next year, but on the other hand it kind of feels like cheating a bit. We are cherry picking players and bringing them in instead of developing them ourselves. Obviously i shouldn't complain but i love the stage we are in now. I always thought it would be boring being a rag fan always winning everything and i loved our unpredictability, but clearly that will all go away soon and we should hopefully start winning things. Silly argument, it's just the mentality of a City fan i suppose

You know, I really get the feeling that Terry was the one that is tapping up City. No rational organization would do what we've done - bid after rejected bid, no indication that the club's face was willing to go - just on a whim.. thinking Well, maybe we could pry him away..

I think Terry sent word through back channels to make a move for him, and exactly how to do it, in order to get out of there, make some serious coin, find a new challenge, all while saving face that he is not just chasing the money.

These statements read like a script written by Terr's publicists.

I agree. He will certainly have had some say in this, because otherwise City could have scuppered the entire deal by seriously pissing him off with these comments.

This is all now about how City and Terry engineer a way out for him from Chelsea. We've probably agreed to look like the bad guys and take the fall for him so that he can maintain some sort of image.

 

[IM NOT REALLY HERE]

Right ive got a little bit of info here.

A local source has had a txt from a smack head Rag Defender telling him JT is desperate to move to us and has really fell out with the board at Chelski. A deal could be done very quickly. Im not a WUM im just passing on info that i have been given.

More info to follow when he knows more.

I think now is the time for Chelsea to allow him to speak to us. Lets see where we all stand.

I think they possibly know what might happen, so are trying their best not to allow it.

I do expect them to put out a statement blaming JT and saying it was his request to speak to us, to try and save face in front of their fans.
