Putting aside the issue of whether or not he's going to issue a statement...
The damage to Chelsea has been done, IMO, by the quotes from Terry's best mate Lampard.
Those quotes, IMO, were the surest sign yet, that he is far from settled at Chelsea, that he is at the very least, SERIOUSLY considering joining us, and that this situation is nowhere near being resolved.
It's just a conspiracy theory, but Lampard made a point of going on about Terry leaving not being about money, but about other things. He reiterated it a couple of times, and he also reiterated a couple of times, that he believes whether Terry leaves or not he should always be regarded as a Chelsea legend.
Lampard was getting Terry's excuses in for him...
It's a tough one to call...but right now I think the odds are in our favour...
A decent insight, although the flip-side could also apply that Lampard was getting the excuses in, ahead of him staying at Chelsea.
There are a number of fences to be rebuilt, anyway, if Terry does stay. Lampard suggesting Terry's indecision was down to ambition rather than cash, also does the trick.
Lampard's comments also shouldn't be read in to too much. He is by no means the good buddy he once was with Terry.
Remember they had a major falling-out last year when they were supposed to hold firm in talks and Lampard did the dirty and got a better pay deal out.
