It all seem s abit "So long and thanks for all the cash!" to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, same here, he's just a very very good pro, I expected nothing less, but let's not forget, Chester was miles ahead of him as a player and will be the bigger loss if he leaves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Good riddance, despicable man. Never wanted him in a Villa shirt to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks for your time John, but needs moving to another section now. He is no longer a Villa player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Very nice words from JT. Players like Snodders, Johnstone and him could have done a good job for us next season and will be much missed but it seems finances come before footballing reasons at the club now when it comes to who we have to let go. It's a sorry situation for our club to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Sad to see him go, maybe he wasn’t quite up to his previous high standards from his Chelsea days but was still a very good player for us. I think time understandably has started to catch up with him. I will be thankful for him and Snodgrass for the part they played in turning around the atmosphere at the club. There was a massive disconnect between the Fans and Squad at the start of the season, but much more togetherness was shown at the end of the season. Hopefully the professionalism he has shown during his time here has rubbed off on the rest of the squad and stays with them, professionalism is something some of the longer term senior players have severely lacked over the years.

Remember the abuse Tonev received for his similar outburst when playing for Celtic ? And now get on all this sentimental nonsense. The sheer hypocrisy is mind blowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 According to a crappy paper claiming an ‘exclusive’, he’s set to take a huge pay cut from his 60k/week here to join Derby for a year to link back up with Lampard. I’d be a bit gutted to see us facing him next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post and one I agree with. for me, despite loving Johns time with us for all sorts of reasons......I want to get back to signing a centre half that dominates in the air and promotes initiative through out the team a Ugo or Laursen......I think John Terry has been a fine, fine player, but for me now he is more like a sweeper. He has gone now and we have to move on......We have to sign a dominant centre half. Edited May 31, 2018 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I posted I think on FB just before his injury that our slow defence was sucking in the midfield and blunting our attack. We lose 3-1 away to Norwich he gets injured then 1-0 wins at home to Cardiff Leeds and 4-0 away to Ipswich. Unpopular but I actually think we may have done better without him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are on to something, nevertheless.....but the season is still raw.....the sentiment is still alive and fresh. for me we had a fundamental problem of surrendering initiative too easily in too many games.....you can draw you own conclusions how that manifested itself. We need to put that right, next season and i think big money, is not necessary to fix it....its just getting the right players.

VILLAMARV Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Still can't come to terms with the fact that trying in a game of football for us seems to temper my views on him as an individual slightly. Weird. Anyway bye then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
