JT is Chelsea would be unthinkable without our Captain Leader Legend, someone else who agrees.
 
 
And while we're at it
In football terms, ‘world-class’ is an imprecise definition. Technically, it could refer to any player worthy of involvement in international football, yet representing the national team does not in itself make a player world class. It is more rarefied than that.
World-class has lately come to mean any player of exceptional ability, so that Raheem Sterling or Wayne Rooney would qualify, by comparison to their contemporaries. Yet that is unsatisfactory, too. Would either player be included in the strongest national teams in the world: Germany, Argentina, Spain?
So how is this? To be world-class, a player must be at such a level that he would get into any team, anywhere. Germany or Barcelona; Real Madrid or Argentina; Bayern Munich or Italy. Using that criteria, one would argue England has just one genuinely world-class footballer, and he no longer plays for his country. John Terry is world-class
He would make Germany’s team, he would make Real Madrid’s team. Even at 34 he is among the select few who would walk into any starting XI on the planet. Jose Mourinho told Kurt Zouma he would be starting in central midfield against Tottenham Hotspur just two days before the Capital One Cup final. It was exceptionally brave management, but Mourinho also knew he had back-up. Zouma would be playing in front of Terry, the master stopper and outstanding captain of his generation. It was a nuanced risk.
Zouma deserves enormous credit for the way he filled Nemanja Matic’s shoes but Terry’s influence would have been vital. Just as England missed him hugely in Brazil — Luis Suarez has never scored a goal with Terry on the field — Chelsea have a mammoth job when it is finally his year to retire. Zouma is 20 and has time to become a major influence at Stamford Bridge. Becoming the next Terry is another matter entirely.

JT speed has always been very deceptive, he is slower than he looks.     

Have little chance if R Hodgson still in charge, he has the technical savvy of a bull elephant.

I always read the DM, they are not always complimentary, so it is good to see editorial change, another good article BD

I personally feel only sorrow for him, it must be heart breaking for him to think of what he had & could produce on the pitch, now
no matter how hard he tries or works at, he no longer can reach those heights again, it must be so frustrating for him but he never
hides just keeps trying in his own way to become a useful member of the team, for that he has my respect.
