He barely played last year.. didnt know he only finished 3 full games. Thats even more frightening. Baker is injury prone. I got a feeling Bruce will sign Terry and his son Alex. So you believe Terry is worse than Elphick and Richards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone has pointed out if he signs a two year deal at £100,000 a week thats £10.4 million. Could we do better with that money? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you'd have to factor in fee's + wages for the other deals, i'd argue you probably couldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much we paid for Chester and what his wages are? surely he is better value and if we can find him could we not find another? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not conducive to building a team to get us promoted. Still, it hasn't happened yet, so no point getting too worried just yet. Agreed. If we sign him it will be a dreadful signing.

The reserve league. So it's 14 in senior competition and he finished 8 of those, although we know he was never finishing his final game, so his 26' gets an asterisk with 'absolute narcissist' beside it.

TRO Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 3 hours ago, mykeyb said: Look at the the list of player Steve signed while at Sunderland, Look at Terrys stats for last season, realistically how many games do you think we will get out of him playing saturday then mid-week? It is exactly the sort of signing I expect Rednapp to make and thought Bruce would be a little more cirumspect and as yet its nothing but a rumour. I am sick of these over the hill pros coming here for one last pay day and giving precious little in return. If he does sign, and it turns out like the last world class centre half we nicked from United.......I will be a happy man. and yes they do have something in common.....they can both read the game like Gyles Brandreth can read a book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say about £100k a week and more importantly it's not mine or your money. If signing him impacted signing others you may have a point. It won't so who cares?? If Terry plays 75% of the games and we go up it's worth 10 times the outlay. Are you against signing him because of the cost? His ability? Him personally? I'm not sure which at the minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I wouldn't get hung up on FFP, the doc has money and accountants who will know how to get money into the club to bypass any hurdles. Also if the club aren't worried about it then surely we shouldn't be? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Terry has spent the best part of 2 years on the fringe of a Chelsea side that are head and shoulders, a million miles ahead of where we are/have been, in what universe is his joining us a bad thing? John Terry at the age of 45 is better than anything we have currently (bar maybe Chester), imagine the younger players turning up for pre season training and John Terry is there to welcome them? There is no loss in this if it happens in my opinion, I think most peoples viewpoint of him is he sleeps with other players ex girlfriends (is human and therefore fallible) but that doesn't detract from the fact he is a fantastic footballer. I doth think you are trolling for attention btw. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm old enough to remember God signing for us and the pub banter (I'd imagine the internet would've be 10 times worse!) was "legs have gone, too old blah blah", turned out his legs had gone lol, but his quick thinking and positional sense as you put it made him an absolute legend. There are no cons in this rumour for me. Edited June 19, 2017 by Hoof hearted Grammar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Stu Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 In my opinion Terry would be a great signing and have a massive impact on some of the other players. He is a natural leader and reads the game better than most defenders in the game. Imagine if we had him last season, do you think we would have chucked away all those 1 goal leads late on? He wouldn't allow it. As others have said he doesn't need to start every game for us, and if you could have a defender to come on for the last 20 mins to defend a lead then I don't believe there are many better options than terry. Hopefully we can get 25 starts and 8-10 games where he comes off the bench. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JNortonAVFC Posted June 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2017 Think terry would be a great signing for us, not only for the defensive side of his game, but he's also had about an 80% pass completion rate every season since he made his debut for Chelsea, having him in the side could negate the hoofball we seem to play when Baker panics with the ball, it'll hopefully help us keep the ball and play some football 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
