Is it Liu Bin who currently plays for Beijing Enterprises in the China League One? If you go far enough back on Villatalk, you'll see that 'Been done' evolved into 'Bin Dunne', often accompanied by a picture of Richard Dunne in a wheely bin... so... yeah, your joke has probably....

With terry helping bakers game, then when baker does play he might have learnt a bit more and improve. I don't see a negative with it if the owner is willing to pay the money for wages. we then go out and buy a long term defender of a higher calibre than buying a decent defender who may or may not be good enough for the premier league when we are a premier league club next year. so, where's the long term damage? It's a short term fix for what I presume they want to be a short term problem. I.e. We get promoted and there is a new, longer term problem of staying up and establishing. Seems to me, ant not directed at anyone in particular, but there's so much negativity about anything and everything the club does that it can't do anything right. That sounds great if Terry is coming with no real expectations of playing on a 12 months contract for medium sized wages. But there's no way if he does sign it will be on those conditions.

theboyangel Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 So, low and behold, the day after we're linked with John Terry 'Sky sources' are suggesting west brom are now in for him. (Couldn't see that happening ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would take him and I think it would be a good move. Cant remember where I've read it but Caballero has been linked with Chel$ki as a replacement for Begovic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) We shouldve signed Begovic before he left for Chelsea. Edited June 13, 2017 by It's Your Round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnock1984 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 If I'm John Terry, I want to win things. Signing for a team like West Brom or Bournemouth just wouldn't do it for me. I think the opportunity of winning the championship will appeal or he'll end up abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @nnock1984 he'll want to win something in his final year, championship push with us or MLS, "mr Chelsea" has taken a fair few million out of them he doesn't need money, wouldn't be surprised if he joined Ashley Cole as a non DP in the MLS playing 20 games and finishing 10-12th in the Prem with the baggies? He doesn't need it, I think he'd walk away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) if Terry comes you are looking at a back 3 Chester Terry Baker Hutton Lansbury Hourihane Taylor Adomah Hogan Gaby/Kodjia or a back 4 Hutton Chester Terry/Baker Taylor Jedi Adomah Lansbury Hourihane Hogan Gaby/Kodjia With Bruce in charge and SJ in goal we wont even make the playoffs We need Nr 1 GK Backup GK a brute of a CB with pace a brute of a DM who is mobile an AM to feed Hogan & Kodjia (when back) and a CF who can hold the ball up (and a new manager, coaches and a new whoever is in charge of this shit-show) If the board have intentions of going up we are talking between £35-65million If they want to try to scrape through with a few old heads and young loanees we can all forget English football and tune in to the last 3/4 years of Ronaldo v Messi till DrT throws in the towel.

Popular Post AVFC44 Posted June 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2017 We do not need anywhere near £65 million to get promoted from this league this season. In fact, ON PAPER, i'd say that even without buying a single player this summer we'd have a better starting 11 than some of the teams that have gone up in recent years. Squad stability and consistency is what will get us promoted, not spending big and changing half the team again. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Pickford is going to cost Everton £30m. Leicester have apparently had a bid of £20m rejected for Harry Maguire. A brute of a CB with pace will easily cost £30m. Similarly the DM listed there too. SB has to cut his cloth accordingly, and shipping goals last season wasn't the issue for the main part. If he wants JT on a free transfer and it means he's got more to spend on midfielders then that's what he should do.

Yeah because Huddersfield / Brighton really showed you need to throw £100 million at this league to get promoted ....... So much hyperbole. A couple of shrewd additions and there's absolutely no reason why we can't challenge with the current squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footbal money has now gone out of all sense of logic. £135 is really not all that far away. I take it you are pretty confident that we will be alright. Unfortunately for me I dont feel that way, hence my inner urge to state it on VT. Bob Marley once sang "Everyt'ings gonna be alright" I wonder what happened there?

alreadyexists Posted June 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) I agree with @AVFC44 above, we really aren't all that far away from a good side... I think we are 3-4 additions away. A new GK is a total must A a central defender for squad depth (bin off Richards and Elphick) 1 attacking midfielder If McCormack is finished then a striker too, but fingers crossed we can get him firing again... I think that's it. For arguments sake I've included Terry as we've been linked but I doubt very much he will sign. New GK Bree Chester Terry Taylor Jedi Adomah Landsbury Hourihane New AM Kodjia ... but what do I know?
