That would have just been a contract extension. I see it when i believe it If we didn't even offer him anything how would we know... I said a few days ago we should just have offered him 25k per week or something and attached a promotion bonus to be paid the following year to make up any potential shortfall. Honestly think he would have taken it. Same with Hutton, There is not going to be a huge queue to match his current wages so offer him 10-15k per week and see what he says, We will not find cover for 2 positions any cheaper than that Edited June 3, 2018 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If be suprised if we didn't offer anything considering he is our captain and the impact he has had here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 It makes sense and looks good on both parties that we wanted keep him but couldnt afford him and he wanted to stay. I can see him going to Derby for less and it makes sense though Derby are no better than us when it comes to veterans in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only was he superb basically all season for us, he also provided a huge amount to our younger players like Jack. If we could have gotten Terry on 30k, we are stupid not to have matched.

I wouldn't classify a regular starter a cheerleader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats abit harsh he played numerous games for us and was outstanding and a leader on the pitch and dressing room. But no question his best days are behind him. If i was him I wouldn't bother over here go abroad for a but it retire on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you - I still have not a huge amount of respect for him as a man - but this is not the question here. I think he gave everything in a footballing sense both on and off the field and I can't help but think he found himself with a surprising affinity to the club - sure no doubts many might think of him as one of footballing mercenaries - not certain why ? But in pure footballing terms only - I do admire him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, why anyone would think of him as a mercenary, being at Chelsea oodles of years....still wants to play, so cashes in on his stock....thats a players prerogative. What we have to do, is look at things from our perspective and ask ourselves the question, will we get value for money. On many ,many occasions in the past, we have royally ****ed up big time.....Not saying John Terry is one of those occasions, but its clear now he was the silver bullet.
