It seems fear of how terry will be perceived by other fans is Chelsea's best strategy in keeping their Captain.

Terry is bigger than that. If he comes to City, we will have a chance of fighting for trophies. If you listened to Hiddink this morning, he suggested that Terry's concern is not money, but the ambitions of the club.

I don't think Terry can afford to pass up the footballing opportunity that exists at MCFC. He'll get mud flung at him in the short term by the media, but that's part of the challenge to prove that you can make history, and prove people wrong in the process

I think Terry is well aware of how he'll be viewed around the country if he does move to City.

As for Hiddink's quote I find it odd that you'd use it as a positive for City. If anything it's an encouragement for Terry to stay put.

I do.

But no matter how big your ambitions are and how much money you're willing to spend it'll take time for you to reach the level of the Europe's elite and Terry knows it better than anybody after going through it with Chelsea.

He's 29 this year and spent quite some time out with injuries over the last few seasons. His legendary status at his club,public image as Mr.Chelsea and Captain England aside he'll have to take a huge risk by accepting City offer because there are no guarantees how the things will turn out in the next few years. I'm sure MCFC will break into the top four eventually and will start winning trophies because with the amount of money the sheik is willing to spend it's only a matter of time before it'll happen.

The question is rather not if but when? Robinho,Tevez or Adebayor have got time on their side,Terry doesn't. Not only will he be branded a money grabber by every non City fan in the country, he'll risk to tarnish his reputation and legacy and quite likely end up winning less trophies just because he decided to make more money before his back finally gives up on him.

That's quite a gamble and some would say he's very likely to lose more than gain by going through with it.

Yes i agree with you. I hope JT sees it differently though.

A bonus £34m buys you a lot a lifestyle where you do not need to worry too much about having caused a bit of offence

bye Terry... Next please!
 
Hardly a surprise really, is it? I never thought he'd come. He settled darn sarf, his missus and her family (as well as his) is from the area. As long as Chelsea made an offer anywhere near what we were (allegedly) offering him, he was always going to stay put. Time to move on. No tears from me.
 
John Terry has released the following statement:
'There has been a lot of speculation recently about my future and I want to clear this up once and for all. I am totally committed to Chelsea and always have been. Chelsea have also made it clear to me consistently that there was never any intention to accept any kind of offer.
'When you are linked with any club, or with a manager who I have huge respect for, it will always make headlines but me leaving Chelsea was never a possibility.
'I know there has been comment that I should have made a statement earlier. However, throughout this period there have been numerous discussions between myself, the owner and the Chelsea Board and we all agreed that the timing of any statement would suit everyone involved in those talks, not any outside influences or agendas.
'What is clear to me following those discussions is that Chelsea's ambition remains as high as ever.This has been further proved by the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti. I am certain that he will take this club on to the next level.
'Another important factor was knowing that Chelsea would be securing key current players for the long term. The strengthening of the squad around this core is crucial to pushing us onto greater success.
'I am as committed as ever to helping drive Chelsea forward and I will be proud to lead the team for as long as I can.'
