VillanousOne Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 it was a rumour and he confirmed he hadn't retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 He will be radically unfit so you wouldn't expect him to be ready to play until November and what you'll get then is a dramatically declined player on last season, pointless.

I think he will be the same as he was last season if he came back, he had limitations last season but his positional sense was good and as long as Chester was the one doing the legwork (along with a bit of Hutton) then it was a half decent defence. either that will help sort Nyland out or we need to try Morrera i agree though that we need to sign a longer term solution in Jan Edited September 4, 2018 by VillanousOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It doesn't really matter how well you keep active, how much jogging you do and how much you push yourself in your gym. You will still be miles off match fitness, nothing compares to that. Professional footballers now are well beyond any sort of normal fitness, it's insane to even hope to get anywhere close to that level on your own regime.

He keeps himself in shape and still trains and will just need to get match fit - maybe 3 or 4 weeks at most . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 My bad, I thought he'd made the decision to retire. I Don't pay too much attention, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The thing with JT is not just his defensive ability , it’s the motivation and leadership side too and also his organisation of the back 4 - we have been shambolic defensively . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that he had signed up to be a TV pundit in the far east somewhere (In July) spelling an end to any speculation of him coming back or playing on for anyone else. Again this could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carewjust4u Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Big rumors that Bruce has lost the dressing room, bringing in JT would certainly fix that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 1 hour ago, VillanousOne said: well at the moment it doesn't look like we have, more the fans and the internet willing it to happen. Agreed. The club had better try to make it happen because we need to do something about our central defence quickly and I am not sure shifting what we already have around will do the trick.

Seems to me he has been on holiday for a while. Massive difference between 'keeping in shape' and training for a football season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 4, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2018 I hope he turns us down. "Sorry, Steve, I gave my all for you last season, now I'm putting my feet up and enjoying my retirement. I'd have thought you'd have planned for this, but you've made your bed, and I'm afraid you'll have to lie in it. Best of luck, JT". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope he tells Bruce where to go! - Not that I do not want him here, more the fact that it will expose Bruce for the almighty f*** up he has made of this.
