John Terry [Merged]

[MonsallBlue]

A little disappointed. Not the end of the world though.

He only stayed as Chelsea wouldn't sell and he would never risk telling Roman he wanted out.


Time to move on. Lescott we need. Also wouldnt mind some sort of monster centre back. No nonsense , tough tackling hard case. Problem is.....who?

First we have the rant from Taggert and now we have the " Badge Kisser " pledging his Loyalty ???? to the Club he loves or alternatiely has just screwed for a big pay increase. This has been a good day to be a City fan. We have not had a day as good as this since, since, er last Saturday when we signed Adebayor or the Monday before when we signed Tevez.

Re: Terry Speaks

good, didn't want him. many better centre backs out there, he only looks as good as he does cause of the quality around him

absolute bollocks, he is a very good player but more important one of the best on-the-pitch leaders in the game

Hughes and Cook are just looking like stupid c*nt that haven't left this deal before this greedy bastard released his hero statement to the world. This news will cause Lescott and Toure capture harder by 100 times (if there's no pre-contract agreement signed before.).

Get real ffs. This was never going to happen. But it has done no harm whatsoever. Hughes and Cook are doing a fantastic job this window and they aren't finished yet. Now we will close in on the more realistic targets.

I have to say i am elated he has decided to stay as i think if you had managed to sign terry you would be favourites for the title. However i am dissapointed in the number of man city fans who seem to be pleased you havent won his signature. Terry brings fantastic leadership to a club, he is a great role model for the youth team and always has time to offer support. One thing you guys wont see on the tv but at games is how he leads the team when going a goal down or when someone makes a mistake, he is great at lifting the players as well as being a cracking centre half. Onouha i rate highly and i think terry would have made him a much better player as well as richards. Terry has had his injuries but ask any chelsea fan what we were like without him for ten games, and when we had him for 30. I actually think you were very close to signing john and i wouldnt have slagged him off had he gone. City are the new sensation, im sure many players would love to be part of what your building. Just dont come after lampard next although i bet a lot of you would say hes crap etc, when he is the mr chelsea, unbeleivable player. Good luck next season guys, i look forward to welcoming you to a fa cup final!

A good post for a change, well said mate.
There are a lot of naive City fans who make themselves sound like hypocrites. John Terry would have been a fantastic signing for us, but IMO it was probably too much of a decision to make, a very tough decision in fact, to leave Chelsea and join our revolution. It is now time to move on and find a new target in the same mould, to lead our fantastic club forward.

Re: Terry Speaks

It's hardly a suprise


Hello Upson :-(

I'll be surprised if we do get Upson. I don't feel he would improve us.

Ya Hughes said in one South africa interview that they are not looking to buy players that only marginally improve the squad, he said we need players who are on another level compared to what we have. I don't think Upson qualifies, Lescott maybe.

 

[In The Know]

Wow wow wow calm down, whats all this City look like Cunts buisness now??????


Chelsea look like Cunts, they have just upped a players wages by a vast ammount at our requst, leaving them a smaller budget to take us on with.... Mission accomplished if you ask me, well done City. Now lets hope terry stays true to form and is out for 30% of the games with a back injury.

I say again 2 or 3 from Lescott, Toure, Upson and Alves will give us a top 4 quality squad overall if we keep all the quality we have.

Take a look on paper we might be slightly weaker in defence but our midfield and forward line up more than makes up for it.

I actually see this as a positive, it was never going to happen and just turned into one big distraction and circus event. Maybe we can actually get in the 2 or 3 quality defenders we really need now that actually want to play for club and are not going to piss us around for 3 or 4 weeks during crucial pre season.

Look how quickly Adebayor happened when Eto fell through, hopefully more of the same.

This isnt a victory for Chelsea either, struggling to keep their captain having to pay a load of extra money to a player already under contract for 3 years. Its ruined their us tour and certainly distracted them from making other signings they need.

Its done us less harm than Chelsea no doubt about it !

Fair comments, probably 3 players you have I would love to see in a light blue shirt, Terry, Lampard and Essien.
Disappointed Terry has decided to stay with you, but totally understand why, quality defender, great leader, exactly what we need.
I expected this to be honest, and hope now we will go after Toure and Upson, (but not at the £15m quoted for Upson!)
I still think we have a very good side, just need a couple at the back.
I'm still excited about the new season, this news hasn't affected it, and if you are right about the Cup Final....see you there, I'll buy you a pint!

Terry is a spent force and has back trouble, forget him.
