Demitri_C Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 terry although I dont particularly like him, even at 36 he is the kind of winner and person we need in the dressing room. \Not expecting this to happen though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted June 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2017 John Terry, even at 36, would be an immense signing. Absolute leader and winner, and never had he relied on pace, so would still offer a great deal to us in the Championship. Can't see it unfortunately, as it's most likely a case of making a story out of the golfing picture, does that mean Alex Bruce is coming too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted June 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2017 I hate Terry but he'd be a coup at this level. Can't see it being more than made up nonsense from that rag though 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2017 Cannot see how Terry would have any genuine enthusiasm for any other club at this stage of his career. Money pure and simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accolades he continues to get from British media and pundits, to me smacks of the fact that they've spent years wanking themselves silly over him and that it would now be a massive climb-down if they were to admit they were wrong. He's over in Turin now and none of the elite sides in England want him, including his parent club. West Ham are the latest link. In a way he personifies England's international failings. He is mediocrity that gets lauded and then found out, but persisted with nonetheless. Totally agree. After the weekend, I'd be surprised if he ever plays for England again as well. He was apparently pretty poor for Torino last season. We're probably his level these days, but I think he's done now - would be an expensive mistake. And thankfully is also very unlikely. But I would take Terry - objectionable man that he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Whelan and Terry. This club is screwed if this is true. Both are past their best.. we should be building for the future not trying to get a quick fix that will likely not work. These players would just be coming for one last pay check. Its going to be Lescott all over again. Have we learnt nothing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 What signing Terry does (aside from provide us with a top quality central defender) is signal intent. Sign him and attracting more top quality players for next season becomes a lot easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USA_Villa Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Terry and Whelan - Why are we looking at two guys at the end if their careers? Steve Bruce all over, tried and tested players. I'm sorry, but this is short sighted and narrow minded. If you're old in the premier league, you're old in the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Terry is one of 4/5 players in and the others are a mix of in their prime and younger prospects, I'd be fine with that. It needs to be a balance. If it's Terry and Whelan and a couple of other old knackers - not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 If we do sign Terry, perhaps we could copy Chelsea's title winning 3-4-2-1 formation from last season? If it's true we're looking to sign a few quality players to go straight into the first team, then along with JT, a new keeper and creative AMC could set us up nicely... with an embarrassment of riches on the bench. Plus this type of formation could be very flexible - for example, switch Jedinak for say Adomah and it quickly switches to a 4-4-1-1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa's back four are already good enough to get out of the Championship so Terry isn't needed and neither is Whelan for that matter. Promote Lyden to sit in front of the back four or Thor with Jedinak as cover if money is tight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Bruce you have no chance as it deviates too far from his favoured old school non tactical anti football approach. Terry would be a yes from me btw.
