The trouble with this theory about Terry hoping to improve his Chelski contract is going to have to run out of steam pretty soon because Chelski seem pretty adamant that they won't be going anywhere near the level of wages City are offering. And then there's the signing on fee to consider. I don't think he's maniupulating the situation as much as he is genuinely undecided ... which actually makes him a bit daft. Chelski aren't really even going in the right direction if their transfer dealings up until now are anything to go by. Can't exactly say this about City.
Exactly. Our transfer dealings in the past have been just as impressive as City's transfers. What we have now is a squad ready to challenge for the title- we just need a few replacements and I'd expect at least one massive incoming transfer. Pirlo isn't a big name but we nearly have him signed up.
The difference is, unlike City we don't have to go after everyone with a pulse, we already have well balanced squad filled with quality, one of the best in Europe. Chelsea squad just needs some fine tuning, maybe to add a creative midfielder/winger and a striker, no more than that.
Plus, there's still a month and a half left in the transfer window. With the exception of Real Madrid and City, it's been are fairly quiet transfer window so far.
As for Terry, it's very likely that he's using City interest to get a better contract at Chelsea.
If he wanted the move, knowing how long it'd take to get it done he'd have spoken already.
The club will make him a great offer, tell him once again how important and valuable he is for the team and he'll come around.
