I know I'm in the minority here but for about 5 years or even longer we have needed a c#*#*. We have been too nice for too long and as much as we all hate him there is no doubt he would give us an edge we haven't had in God knows how long, legs or no legs.  There I've said it ....

I'm happy to have someone who is "a c***", in terms of the way he plays. Indeed, I wouldn't have minded if we'd signed Robbie Savage.

Terry is a racist scumbag though, and has no place in proudly multicultural Birmingham. Or London for that matter, but Chelsea have always been scum. His playing abilities don't come into it, he's not the sort of person that we should be signing.

I wonder if he's prepared to leave London?
Could be he won't and commute in for training.

Seen us linked with Adnan Januzaj from Man Utd for £6m, not sure it isn't rubbish but would be pretty pleased with that as a signing.

Would be hugely excited with that.

So, it won't happen.

I'm pretty sure we had Januzaj on our books as a kid?

Januzaj has been awful for 3 seasons since breaking through. Would be a gamble but if we could get him anywhere near his best one well worth taking.

NO NO he's awful.  The thing is though is that agents know we have a small pot to spend.  Got to leave this one well alone.

I thought he had injury problems and an attitude problem, sounds good for us then.
Another link is the ginger nut at Newcastle, not good enough for them and also injury prone. Another perfect fit.

Another picture today has gone up on John Terry's instagram. Pictured playing golf with Alex and Steve Bruce, but also this time Terry's agent is pictured.

I don't want him anywhere near our club, because I think he is a vile human being, but I shall still be irrationally annoyed if he goes to Blose in preference to coming here.

You can see why Bruce would like a player like him at the club. Not keen on him as a person but if he comes, then i'll get behind him. If he doesn't, then I won't lose too much sleep over it.

that's where I am. I actually think "brand JT" won't allow for him to not give a fuck. He would love nothing more to be thought of as the reason why we get promoted. With JT it's always about JT, but with it comes commitment and leadership. There's no doubting though that he's a massive cock but right now, I want us to be playing PL football and being nice, ethical and everyone else's doormat is something I have little patience for.
