To make this one short and sweet... John Terry is the Captain, leader and hero of Chelsea FC and the fans alike. He is on 150k a week and is leading one of the top teams in the world.
500k a week could not tempt Kaka to move to Man City, so why would 300k a week tempt Terry? He'll have to sacrifice club love and trophies in order to earn yet more moolah, which is really excess to requirements at this point for a multi, multi millionaire.
Now say, hypothetically, that he does put in a transfer request. What then? He still has 3 years left on his contract, so we really hold him in the palm of our hands. But as I said, this is only hypothetically, as we adore him and he adores us.
So what does he do next? Stamp his feet and pound his fists? Where does this get him? It alienates the fans who have treated him as a God for years, and makes all those who respect him, even if they won't admit it, lose any respect... Much like if Gerrard had've moved to Chelsea, and I can guarantee you he doesn't regret staying put.
Of course, I could end this all right here in this statement...
Terry is not leaving, as the club have told time and time again. Yes, Terry is yet to come out and say anything himself, but that's because he is currently on holiday after finishing a very, VERY full on season. His silence does not mean he is hesitant, it just means he's too busy to care. Sure, there is a possibility that he could leave, but there is also a possibility that a meteor could flatten my house right now and leave me rather slim. The confidence of MCFC fans astounds me.
I hope you enjoy Dunne and Richards for many more years to come, as John "Mr. Chelsea" Terry is staying put.

There is no way Terry is leaving Chelsea. He is the best Centre back, by far (puyol comes close.)
ReplyDeleteManchester City is the joke of football. Patience there is running really low, because they have not made any world class signings for a while now, which is funny considering the money they claim they have. They should use their money to buy Sparky a thermometer because his seat is about to get real hot real soon.

I know football is business but I don't see how JT will ditch his status as a captain of a big team like Chelsea. He worked his way up to what he is now it would be a shame if he actually wants to leave. What am I saying he's not going to leave end of story.
ReplyDeleteESPN just reported that JT wants to hold talks with Man Shitty, this sucks. I'm sure he's just using this to get more money though.
ReplyDeleteThe way money has infected the game of football is just......amazing really.
ReplyDeleteIt's a loop, lads. He came out and denied it on July 3rd, and then the club denied it twice after that.
ReplyDelete"I am not leaving Chelsea" will be turned into "I will not leave Chelsea if they pay me enough"... Which then turns into Terry wanting City due to them having money.
There's no quotes, so it's really not that reliable at all.
Can't attribute the "I am not leaving Chelsea" passage to me, though.
ReplyDeleteOn the comments page for the previous blurb about Deco, 2choices suggested that we should offer Deco and Carvalho to City. I think this is a fantastic idea, it would get them off of our back about JT.
