So you have deducted that because Wayne Bridge may not have been at John Terry's wedding there is no chance Terry might have contact Bridge about a possible move to City in January.

Yeah its the best ive got really

Ha ha ha! I admire you're honesty!

I have it on very good authority from a pal at City (not a steward or bar staff, tea lady or roadsweeper etc) that Terry contacted Bridge in January. The same fella confirmed Barry had agreed to sign subject to medical (before this was common knowledge) and also confirmed that Santa Cruz was back on the radar (before this was common knowledge). Because of his track record, I've got to believe them.

I'm not saying Terry is signing but Terry was not happy in January and made his feelings known to City indirectly.

Re: Chelsea reject Terry offer [Merged]

Well we were pretty good from 1990 onwards and if I'm not mistaken, most of his investment came around 1993/1994 time, where we were threatened with administration.

In 1990/91 you finished 11th. The following year 14th. Then 11th. Then 14th. Then you got the Harding money and it was two more years of 11th before it kicked in and you were a top 6 side winning trophies from there on.

That's six years of mid-table mediocrity, with significant investment coming in towards the end allowing you to claw your way up to 'success'.

You may not call that 'buying success' but I do.

But it's the parallels with City I find really interesting as that's almost exactly what's happened to us (two seasons ago we started to receive major investment but it didn't immediately show in the league positions)... if, as everyone assumes, we actually do become a top 6 side this season.

From today's MEN.

Note what Chelsea have said. 'He knows he's not for sale.' (Chelsea telling Terry?) Until Terry makes a statement saying he is staying at Chelsea, Roman and his gang can make as many 'Terry is not for sale' statement's as they like. I have a feeling Terry would at least like to speak to City first, before making up his mind.

Chelsea confirm Terry stance
July 09, 2009

CHELSEA insist they have been in contact with City target John Terry and are confident he will not be tempted by a move to Eastlands.

The Blues are intent on pursuing the £40million rated centre-back, but both new Stamford Bridge manager Carlo Ancelotti and chairman Bruce Buck have said he is going nowhere.

Terry himself has not publicly commented but, reacting to suggestions they had not been in touch with the 28-year-old, Chelsea told the BBC: "It is total nonsense - we've spoken to him a number of times. He knows he's not for sale."

Does that not coincide more with the Premier League being formed than Harding's investments?

Lol..."he knows he's not for sale"

I wonder if JT thinks differently?

If they had been in contact and Terry had intimated that he had no desire to leave, as Chelsea have reported, that statement from their captain would have been put on their OS and out to the media. FACT!

It hasnt been done because in my opinion JT has not said he wants to stay.

Re: Chelsea reject Terry offer [Merged]

Allegedly we are offering him £150,000 a year, so to bring him level with Lampard, so that surely covers recognition and respect? We have put in an offer for Ribery and plan on signing Sneidjer with the change, so that covers ambition. We will be in the running for the title this year, and, I think this season the trophy will be going South purely because United are much weaker than last season and Liverpool haven't improved, where as if you believe the papers we will have improved hugely, so that covers opportunities for silverware.

We are offering him massive amounts of money, though not the monster wage being offered by City, so that is the only reason I can imagine he'd want to go.

I mean City will have success but, in all respect, they are building up that success. It's not like with Chelsea where we had a Champions League and cup winning squad before the money (and the money turned us into a title winning team within two seasons). This is a job where nearly the whole club with have to be overhauled, and I can't see that happening quickly. Also, the new players will have to learn how to work as a team- this is the problem Chelsea had in 2003/04 (the first season of our buyout) where there were so many new players, it was hard to get them to work together.

So, it's my belief that Terry would either be benched, sold or retired by the time City are in Chelsea's position, and that's why I believe there is only one reason why Terry would leave the club at this point in time.

And what assureances will they give him that the manager won't be changed in the blink of an eye again? I think none!

 

[squirtyflower]

The OS are still piling the pressure on.
If they felt there was no milage in it they would not be running other papers' stories on their site. I believe City feel they are in with a chance.

I doubt City can give a much firmer assurance, though, because when really big money is spent, the owners will expect success.

Which is then up to the players and the manager to deliver it, and if change is needed so be it!

Slightly similar yes, it's the nature of football now at the moment!

Clubs need success to justify money spent, but the only way you can challenge is by having vast amounts pumped in and a decent team being built, this is where we step in!
