Eastie Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 There have been many good defenders in 40 years I’ve watched villa but for me only Paul McGrath has been better than JT in those 40 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly loves the game and his love of Chelsea has to be admired, that is his measure of Loyalty......its hard to be jealous, just have total admiration of the man. Paul McGrath loved UTD, but grew to love us too. I think John Terry will end up the same.....We will always have place in his heart. He is clearly loving it with us. I actually think Macca grew to love us more - could Terry possibly do the same ? He is no where near as good as Macca - but he brings so much in other ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Paul never had the options John had either, for obvious reasons. Edited March 11, 2018 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were there for the Blues game though and spent most of that game moaning, so I imagine they’d have found something to be unhappy about yesterday. I don’t know why some people bother with football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Still can't believe he's a Villa player in the championship. You have to wonder how big an influence he is on the dressing room. Bruce has the promotions but Terry has won everything in the game as a captain. That doesn't just command respect but there'd surely be an aura of will and competency that we haven't had in abundance for some time. Would love to see him stay at the club another year, his age is one factor, but his standards and mentality are not to be forgotten. I know this is football, but Michael Jordan averaged something like 18-20ppg right up 'til the age of 40. I know Terry is not the greatest of all time, especially not athletically, but he is someone who has all the winning attributes, which may extend his playing time.

TRO Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 18 hours ago, bannedfromHandV said: Whatever people may think of him personally he really is a consummate professional. I think he'll end up back at Chelsea though next season in some capacity, perhaps even solely as a player, particularly if we are promoted as I know he's spoken of having reservations about playing for anyone else in the PL previously. Even if if he does go back.....i will always be grateful to him,always. I will actually miss John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
