Vive_La_Villa Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'll be delighted if we sign Terry. Be great to have a true winner in the squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 He's like having a manager.......on the pitch. For those that don't want him ......don't worry he might go to Blues. It might be like missing out on Robbie Savage.....another one who ( in some eyes) was not good enough for us......the mind boggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted June 19, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 19, 2017 What I really want to know is... when does JT get his own thread?! Leader and a winner. Cracking signing if it gets done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 sometimes i think he would be a good signing, and then sometimes i'll be reading an article about our interest with an accompanying picture of his smug punchable face and im just like nah, dont want him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, Terry is the exact same age to the tee as McGrath was that when we let him go to Derby.. when he was past his best, and didn't help Derby get promoted In fact Derby loaned him out to Sheffield United as they realised he was not the same player as at Villa, you know seeing as he turned 37 that December just like Terry will be turning 37 this December. Not saying the same will happen again, but its very hard to play at this age, especially when youve already achieved everything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if the club aren't worried about it then surely we shouldn't be? The club are worried about it though given we've told SB to move out all the out on loan players. If we weren't then we could go out and feasible spend another 50m but that simply isn't sustainable the longer we stay out of the premier league.

You clearly missed Keith Wyness' interview.. he said we will only be making 3-4 signings this summer due to constraints (with Terrys £100k/w more likely 3). He's clearly thinking about FFP, so if you don't want to get hung up on it then everything's going to be OK I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? Thanks for making absolutely zero assumptions about what I think. I think he's a dirty cheat. I think he's too old. I thought we might have learned a lesson about signing experienced, winning, but old defenders. Apparently not all of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to want to get rid of a few players that don't want to be here. i maybe completely naive here but I just can't see us being worried about FFP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I am very much against signing JT. He will be 37 in december and he made 6 starts in the PL last season, 6! It's a simple reason to why players retire when 35+, they can't keep up with the speed and they get more injury prone. I want someone we can build the team around, someone who is reliable and will play most of the games and give us stability and continuity. I want another Chester, not another Lescott. And I would avoid someone who has been involved in so many scandals as JT has. (The only positive thing I can come to think of is that I like singing the JT song with the Pet Shop Boys go west tune) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednapp took Portsmouth to an FA Cup Final trophy......and destroyed the club. I really want to see Bruce get us promoted and if that means seeing John Terry holding the championship trophy aloft I will take that every day of the week, I find iut difficult to reconcile the view that he is a good manager with our performances last season. His signings this summer will not be sexy I get that too. We need a Des Bremner. What was your point when mentioning O'Neill? It seems like you were leaning towards hinting that Bruce could do the same to us, but most of his signings are fairly young with decent sell on value and supposedly not on stupid wages for a club in our position. Also, I saw you ask before who we could get instead of Terry's (apparent) £100k a week.... Well O'Neill spunked those wages on Habib Beye, Nicky Shorey and Nigel Reo-Coker. I'd take a 36-year-old Terry over those 3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 If we get rid of Richards & Gabby that's Terry's wages right there. Just saying. **** paying those two for doing **** all any longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good and well remembered example to heed, however I'd say the modern day physiotherapy, training methods, sports science, dieticians, club doctors etc etc that today's players have the benefit of probably extends your career by a few more years than when McGrath was closing out his career. Plus you could argue that the booze may have caught up to him by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
