What's new

John Terry to leave Chelsea at end of the season.

I think the club could live another big JT contract but I'm 100% sure this is not over.

 
I honestly don't think it is unreasonable for the club to hold off on making a decision on Terry's future until a new manager is signed. Isn't that what we have wanted for years now; the manager to have a say in who plays for him? If that is indeed what has happened I see nothing wrong with the clubs stance on this issue. I love Terry to death but if he isn't in the incoming managers plans than I would rather the manager have final say on what happens with the team he will eventually manage. For too long we seem to have been dictating players to the people who are responsible with deciding who plays and where.

 
I love JT to bits as well, but like you I also think that JT is being selfish and greedy ( but then again most premier league players are )

Basically, The club told him that he has to wait.for a decision about his contract extension because it's a lot of money ( A Lot more than Ivanavitch gets) ......but JT is not prepared to wait.

I remember a few years back when he supposedly nearly joined Man Citeh, that's was all a media circus created by his agent.

I'm bored with it now - I am Out

 
It Definitely looks like JT is playing a power game, if i was Roman on principle i'd let him go now, i think he has embarrassed himself and the club, just because they aren't ready to commit just yet, hiddink has said as much by his surprise at his revellation..

 
Where do we draw the line about "no player being bigger than the club?"

I think it could be JT politicking, and I think the timing is kind of poor.  However, was he asked about this directly, or did he just come up with it regarding the sentimentality of it being his last Cup run?

I too think that the club have't let the door close completely on this, and it's merely a power play.  I also think it is reasonable for JT and his agent to ask where they stand given the circumstances of his current agreement.  However, to draw parallels between him and Ivan are a little unfair.  As JT said himself, these things can take a couple of months to sort out, so who says teh Ivan deal wasn't started while Jose was still here?

IMO the players agents are greedy c*nts ! they are similar to estate agents and lawyers, they only care about how much money they are gonna earn out of it.

They don't care whether they unsettle others ( fans, the club officials and cause a big stir in the media )

JT's agent should have told JT to play it cool and wait a few weeks, then have more meetings ....lOr maybe he did and JT ignored him, who knows, but I believe it's more than likely that JT's agent may have influenced him to go public, who knows bug the truth will come out eventually !

However it is what it is, but as a consequences it has created a media storm and upset us fans, it's all an unnecessary deflection from the good work we've been doing since Guus has come in.

Money is ruining the enjoyment of football at top level, and more and more ordinary fans are being priced out.

JT needs to do his talking on the pitch !

 
Outplays most of the team tonight and is struggling to get a contract because he is 35 years old.........ridiculous.

The guy gives everything for us in every game he plays, there shouldn't even be a debate whether he get's a new deal or not.

It's the other players getting new deals that should be questioned.

I'm wondering if perhaps the club knows who the new manager is, and also knows they don't see JT as part of their plans. Otherwise why wouldn't we handle Ivan the same way and tell him to wait until the summer? This is not just any old player. It is our most successful club captain and our longest standing player in the squad.

 
Spot on mate.JT has never had pace so thats not an issue.He is playing well and deserves another year.

 
I'm really puzzled by the timing and circumstance of his announcement. I didn't watch the interview, did JT just say - good win, BTW, I'm leaving Chelsea at EOS? It's only February, plenty of time to sort things out, why now?

JT is trying to put pressure on the club.

 
I dont blame JT for trying to pressure the club. He deserves a new deal and has every right to fight for one. No idea why the club wont just give him one. What manager wouldn't want a leader like JT in the dressing room? The only manager's that wouldn't want him are managers who are weak and feel that he would be too powerful. Any manager who believes in their own ability will want JT there to support them.

I think it's about time the club showed our older players the respect they deserve for what they have given to the club. So JT may be on the decline (i dont believe he is, personally), he is still first choice right now, and surely that warrants a new contract for next year, even if he rotates a lot more?

We don't know why he hasn't got a contract, possibly he is demanding too much money.

Dude you talk so much nonsense, please go back to your beloved TalkChelsea forum and stay there with other trolls.

 
Terry has every right to advertise his availability at the end of the season if we're not deeming him worthy of a new contract (laughable) and as far as I'm aware he could actually sign a pre contact elsewhere now if he really wanted to?

Don't have an issue with what he said at all.

I don't follow people's logic that it's good that we're delaying until the new manager is in when we just gave Cahill & Ivanovic new deals without the manager in place.

And before anyone talks about assets, the signing on fee, agent feel and wages of Ivanovic will outweigh what we could potently recoup for him in summer which IMHO would be about £5m.

 
Yeah with Cahill it made sense, him being English alone means we could get a decent fee.

However with brana getting his deal I understand why jt did what he did. Club have brought this on themselves.
