Look people, John Terry was never ever going to come straight out and say he was never going to leave Chelsea. He needed us to maintain our interest and he needed Chelsea to think it was a real possibility he could leave.

If he came out at day one and said he was never ever going to leave Chelsea do you think they would offer him a new deal? I don't get why this is so hard to understand.

OK so what you say could very well be true. But the other possibility is that he hasn't said anything because he is in fact thinking of leaving. Sometimes we "typical City!" fans are so pessimistic that we just can't bring ourselves to believe that something marvellous is about to happen.

John Terry has no intention and never has had any intention of leaving Chelsea for us.

What evidence do you have for this?

None.

I think thats what barry was bought for. He can lead the team gerrard-esq style but we need someone in there to marshal the defence. We need someone well-respected, vocal, strong tackler, good header and can play the ball into feet.
SO back to bobs comments Can anyone suggest any alternatives?

Vincent Kompany.

Agree mate but i dont know if he'll be ready next season. He's still only young, but i would love nothing better than or him to come through and be our captian. It would shut up a few of my rag mates who have been calling him crap and wait for it heres the best bit, they said he couldnt even get in our team because he wasn't in it to face the pirates or kaiser chiefs. Something called a fucking injury

I think there is one party who has not behaved particularly well here, and it ain't City and it ain't Chelsea, it's John Terry - for christ's sake man stop dithering, you are either staying and if so just say so and we will move on, and if not tell us so and Chelsea can replace you and, but either way for god's sake be a man and make a flipping decision, it's gone on too long now and frankly it's becoming a bit tedious

i'm getting irritated by smartarse Blues saying "he was never going to come anyway".

The deal's not dead yet and even if he stays, we certainly got close.

None.

Since when did anybody have to have evidence for an opinion. Oh sorry forgot this is the land where we hound people off a public forum for daring to not agree with the keyboard warriors.

John Terry is a ****.

If he had wanted to stay so badly, he would have come out and said so straight away and not played with the minds of many a Chelsea fan.

If he wanted to go, he would have made it clear by now, the silence is bullshit, it serves no purpose other than to strengthen his own position in regards to fueling media speculation and negotiating a new contract.

Why are we still there? Eto'o would have been just as big (imo bigger) signing and we walked away when that deal looked more hopeful. JT imo has shown his true colours and he has hardly endeared himself to either Chelsea or City fans... His accountant might like him even more, but he'll be an even bigger **** than he already is.

If Terry comes great if not well at least we had a go. But I think its great that city are leaving the offer on the table. Good way to unsettle chelsea during pre season. Yes they might be winning some games but all the headlines are about terry and not the football. Even the reporters are asking the players more on terry than anything else.

True , although getting 'close' helps us not one iota on the pitch.

I don't know much about City owners so I have no idea about their plans,etc etc.

Concerning Abramovich. You are right to a certain degree about unusual times and circumstances in late 80s-early 90s Russia when Roman made his fortune but they're not any more or less unusual then the times of wild capitalism in say, Europe or US. At the foundation of many wealthy dynasties of the Old and New World there's plenty of 'blood money' and first Morgans,Hearsts and Rockefellers had probably as guilty a conscience as the worst criminals of their times. Abramovich came from nothing, he lost both parents when he was very little and he started out from very modest means and ended up one of the richest men in the country. I'm sure he made some choices in his life and career that in the Western society can be viewed as unacceptable but it's easy to pass the judgment from afar when you don't have to live through those experiences yourself.

In any case, this is not the place to discuss Abramovich since it's irrelevant to the thread but I felt that I needed to make a comment.

Bob, I first came to Russia in 1983 as a schoolkid and have been coming back ever since. I worked here as a young corporate lawyer between 1996 and 1999 as well, which was a very, erm, interesting experience. I don't fully agree with everything you say above, but do recognise that it's a legitimate point of view. And I won't deny that Abramovich must have been very astute to rise in the way he did. As you say, though, this probably isn't the place to discuss it.

All I can say (Off topic) is that every time I go on holiday somewhere exotic there's a whole bunch of miserable, massive, musclebound russian gangsters with their prozzies, staying in the presidential suite and buying Chateaux bloody Latour piling on plates of breakfast goodies and throwing 90% of it away and being TOTAL AND UTTER ARSEHOLES and miserable shites.

They treat the staff like utter shite and the staff have to put up with it because they stay for months and spend $$$$$$$.

It's just completely dreadful.

Rant over.
