Posted February 2, 201114 yr Chelsea skipper John Terry has revealed that the dressing room is "buzzing" following the arrivals of Fernando Torres and David Luiz at the club. The Spanish striker and Brazilian defender arrived at Stamford Bridge on transfer deadline day for a combined fee of around £75million from Liverpool and Benfica respectively to signal Chelsea's determination to get back in the title race. The goings-on off the pitch seemed to have the desired effect on the field, with the Blues battling to win 4-2 at Sunderland on Tuesday without the presence of their two newest recruits, with Terry grabbing the third. It was a much-needed statement of intent by the Blues, who had fallen off the pace in the Premier League and had not seen the kind of investment from Roman Abramovich in recent times that became synonomous with the club. It was Chelsea's biggest splurge in the market since 2006; something Terry feels has boosted morale and sent a message to the rest of the footballing world that they mean business, both domestically and in Europe. Statement "To sign Torres and Luiz is a huge statement for the club," Terry told the London Evening Standard. "It has let everyone know we're in the market again, we're buying and competing with Manchester City, who have been spending an awful lot. "There is a buzz around the camp and it is great that we're in the market again for two massive signings. "Everyone has been going on about the ageing players and we have just brought in two very young players who are hopefully going to be around the club for a long time. They can bring so much going forward and defensively. "No-one is getting too carried away but everyone is upbeat. There is a spring in our step, there is a boost around the club worldwide, not just England. It sets a massive tone. "From a club point of view, reading things like the Bolton quotes that they didn't fear Chelsea no more - we say don't fear us at your peril." "Everyone is fighting for places with some big games coming up. For myself, for the other defenders and the strikers it is very good competition and that's very important at a big club. It gives the manager great options and very difficult ones at that. "You want to get training and playing with these guys and hopefully stay in the team." Delighted Commenting on Torres, Terry was happy to see the player on the same side as him, after the Spaniard scored seven goals in seven games against Chelsea whilst on Merseyside, including one on his home debut in 2007. "I'm delighted Fernando is on the same side. We have had some great battles. I was very impressed when he made his debut against us and scored," Terry added. "He is one of the strongest out there. His pace is frightening, his heading is unbelievable for his height and his finishing is top drawer, as we have seen against us a few times. "I'm just delighted [we've signed him] because there were rumours that a few other clubs had been chasing him."
February 2, 201114 yr Brilliant isnt it, I got a feeling last night that suddenly our players were enjoying football again.
February 2, 201114 yr Brilliant isnt it, I got a feeling last night that suddenly our players were enjoying football again. Spot on - you could just see it. Also you see how hard players work when they don't want to go to Liverpool..!
February 2, 201114 yr Spot on - you could just see it. Also you see how hard players work when they don't want to go to Liverpool..! Genuinely the funniest thing Ive read for ages. Nicely done.
February 3, 201114 yr Terry should be excited. Never mind Luiz's quality, he's also a perfect stylistic complement to Terry.
February 3, 201114 yr he's still the biggest bell end in the premiership though Wrong, hes just retired.
February 3, 201114 yr he's still the biggest bell end in the premiership though Does that count that goof-ball ass-muncher Gary Neville, or does he not count since he is now officially retired? Damn you, DKW, you beat me to it! Perhaps now Johnny "Pretty Boy" Evans will step into those big shoes of Gary Neville. Edited February 3, 201114 yr by Phillip

February 3, 201114 yr Hidden by lauren, February 3, 2011 - wind up Gary neville might have pissed off opposition fans from his actions on the pitch, but John Terry is a c**t on and off the pitch. i bet if a liverpool fan said what i said youd bring up gerrard lol. stop being biased people. You can still like Big Man, just accept what he is though. and yes Gary doesnt count since yesterday :P
February 3, 201114 yr Rio `merk' Ferdinand is just the person to take over from rat boy. really?? hes actually quite funny and i thought he was pretty well liked. oh well..
February 3, 201114 yr Rio `merk' Ferdinand is just the person to take over from rat boy. Jonny Evans mad kung fu skills take the cake, I'm afraid.

You can still like Big Man, just accept what he is though. and yes Gary doesnt count since yesterday :P Well it's hardly his (or our) fault that so many of the opposition fans are idiots. Just because we have a world class defender who has been one of the best for many years it hardly makes him a bad person. And if you believe all the rubbish the english so-called "journalists" write, well then you are a true moron. But if slagging off a brilliant player makes you feel better, then you just go ahead. Crawl back into that dark and empty hole (or "womb" as the rest of us call it) and believe that you've got the best human beings and footballers known to mankind and the rest, and especially those nasty Chelsea, only have the devils spawn.
February 3, 201114 yr We can say the same thing about Rooney, with his trysts in Spain, his cursing out referees, and whatever else. Compared to that, whatever JT may or may not have done is less.

A lot of players dont like him, and i dont think anyone but chelsea fans (bar the sensible ones) would disagree that hes a prick. hes a great defender with a lot of heart though. And stop writing sh*t like 'stop believing journalists' its there for everyone to see. you probably need to crawl out the dark and smelly hole (or 'terrys arse' as humans call it) and see it how it is. Terry won my team the champions league, I dont hate him, he just is a prick

February 3, 201114 yr Hidden by lauren, February 3, 2011 - No reason given We can say the same thing about Rooney, with his trysts in Spain, his cursing out referees, and whatever else. Compared to that, whatever JT may or may not have done is less. The thing is if someone says Rooneys a bit of a prick, they wont be lying. its quite clear that he acts like a little sh*t at times, although he doesnt do it as much now. But how can you say Terry's not worse. if we both asked a 100 neutral fans whos worser, the majority would say Terry.
February 3, 201114 yr I am not Mystic Meg, but I predict you are going to have a short life span on here. Based on what mate? I dont think i wrote anything different to what other posters have written
February 3, 201114 yr Hidden by lauren, February 3, 2011 - No reason given Just f**k off man! Why Rahul, Why!!

Well then, 100 neutral fans, i.e muppets who are stupid enough to swallow every piece of sh*te thrown at them by the media, can f**k right off then. And so can you sunshine, because all you're doing ultimately, is showing exactly why it's as pointless trying to have a sensible conversation with your average Manc as it is with your average Scouser.

February 3, 201114 yr Based on what mate? I dont think i wrote anything different to what other posters have written Well for a start, I'm not your mate! Unless I have missed a lot of posts, I've never seen any ShedEnders come out with such vilification and denigration of our captain. Please feel free to point me in the direction of any genuine Chelsea fan on this forum who has written such utter tripe about JT. P.S. Plus what Hutch said! Edited February 3, 201114 yr by moi
February 3, 201114 yr Worser? English isn't my first language but even I know that's not a word... Brilliant. f**king ignorant Mancs need to go back to grammar school.

Ok, so anyone who doesnt agree with the 50 or whatever people on this forum is a muppet. i get what you're saying MATE. i thought you were one of the few people i had a sensible discussion in the 'follow uniteds lead' thread or whatever its called. a lot of you seem to be mentioning the media a lot. i bet you believe chelsea are victimised by the media.
February 3, 201114 yr Worser? English isn't my first language but even I know that's not a word... you're right. English isnt you're first language.
