I loathe John Terry.

I loathe John Terry.

So do I, but if he signed for the Villa I'd love him!

I have a horrible feeling that somebody, somewhere, thinks he's the right man for us.

Clearly. Bruce is gambling on the old man route this summer with him and Whelan added to Jedinak etc. I think Whelan is a decent signing, but Terry has looked a long way short for a long time.

The thought of him in a Villa shirt sickens me. I really do detest the twat.

With you all the way PWS. In fact I am sure I have been looked on dimly for my ranting about St John previously. A bigger knob in football you won't find. Who pre-arranges to go off on the 26th minute just to milk the crowd. All about him as ever. C*nt.

Terry?  Surely there's smarter, more suitable free-agent signings out there - especially if we're prepared to shell out a lot on wages?   This smacks a bit of the Micah Richards signing, for me. He'd probably be made skipper straight away and everything media-wise would centre around him and his profile.  I have no idea if he is any good or not these days as I tend to only watch Villa games but, regardless of that, as PeterWithesShin says, the thought of Terry in an Aston Villa shirt is enough to make me want to throw up.

Stupid disruptive signing if it happens. The novelty of it will bring in the media but it would be to detriment of team. Avoid.

Blimey I was only joking about him signing for us the other day when PWS was saying he was unconvinced by Cahill for England.

Terry and Richards at the back...Sherwood must be gutted he isn't manager.

It is only clear if it is true.

If it is true, then I would share your misgivings.

I would burn my season ticket.

I haven't had one for 15 years, but I would buy one just so I could burn it.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Terry will be new Lescott if we sign him. I don't see the point of signing him apart from his leadership skills

You should have kept one of your old ones.  Paper is much easier to burn than plastic.

I will say John Terry was one of the best distributors of the ball out of defence I have seen.

Emphasis being on the "was" of course. I dont think he would add value to us now.

[sid1964]

With all these older players we are being linked with, maybe music that should be played when the team comes out onto the pitch should be the theme from "Dads Army"

Old fashioned manager with old fashioned ideas!!

If Terry signs for us he would be the highest paid player in Aston Villa's history

Is there no one in the reserve team who is ready to start playing for the 1st team??
