Farlz Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Isn't it about time he had a thread? Things seem to be moving in the right direction - Quote Aston Villa have stepped up their bid to sign John Terry by making a concrete offer to the former England captain. Villa are making a serious play for Terry and have now submitted a contract proposal which is being considered by the 36-year-old, who is a free agent after leaving Chelsea. Telegraph Sport understands Terry has over ten "realistic" offers from clubs around the world but Villa have taken a significant step forward in the last 24 hours. Bournemouth, West Brom, Swansea, Birmingham and clubs in China and the MLS are all battling to sign Terry, who is likely to make a decision within the next fortnight. But Terry is refusing to close the door on extending his career in the unlikely surroundings of the Championship, with Villa's offer understood to be lucrative and loaded with bonuses and incentives that could take the terms over £4million a year. Other offers and counter-offers are expected to be made in the next few days as the race hots up. Terry did hint at retirement during his tearful farewell at Stamford Bridge in May but he is determined to continue playing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/06/21/aston-villa-make-concrete-offer-john-terry/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_tw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post terrytini Posted June 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2017 Already said this elsewhere. Simple question. Woukd you rather have him in your squad or see him in the oppositions? A no brainer for me. I don't like (what little I know of) the man, but as a defender and a character on the field it's hard to think of any better in the last ten years. His desire alone will be worth ten - priceless- points. A coup. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 As a player he's a born winner and give his all on he field. Plus as stated above he won't tolerate people not putting a shift in. As a person... no comment! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I imagine the challenge was put forth as thus: "Captain Aston Villa to promotion to cap off a glittering career." This and Ledley would be two very excellent reinforcements to the spine of our team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Delighted if he joins us as a natural leader . However , if he goes to blues he's a money grabbing tosser 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Straggler Posted June 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2017 Terry is my Schrodinger's cat. If he signs I will like him, if he does not I will think of him as a clearing in the woods. Until the pen hits or does not hit the contract I am in a state of limbo where both states are equally possible. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never occurred to me to describe it thus - very funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastie Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Will score a few for us too as he's very good attackIng corners - strong defence will breed confidence and a couple more decent signings will really set us up nicely . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 He's been finished for a while now and I only see him being a more expensive Tommy Elphick. It's one of the problems when you have a manager like Steve Bruce, he thinks signings like this are a great thing and they aren't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
