Summer transfer madness thread

[LeeB]

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.

I was indifferent to it all until I saw how exited the noses got at being mentioned in the same sentence as him. I now want him for the comedy of it.

Thing is he is the sort of player who has 'will only be success at one club' written all over him. It'd be another Schmeical.

Hey, Schmeichael scored a goal for us! No other goalie did (right?).

The 2 pics I thought Bruce had a very slightly different t shirt on, although this was on a phone on twitter so may not be right.

Maybe he sweats a lot in the heat so took a spare.

He's horrible, I don't want him at our great club.

[ozzjim]

Does beg the question why he would put the picture with his agent in a week after the first one with his brother. Seems odd knowing it will cause even more speculation.

I agree with you. Very odd.

I don't want him here, but I feel he's going to.

Him and Harry seem the perfect match, however. Both tosspieces of the highest accolade.

As a player he has the profile of a Lescott or a  Richards which is worrying - in that they were good players in their time.  Terry was a better player of course but he hardly played the past 12 months so his match day fitness levels will be low.  We may need his organisation skills at the back  but  football is not cricket, the game does not allow for passengers.

There is no need to cut off our faces to spite the noses.

[brian green]

Very droll.

[thick_mike]

No

[mrfuse]

There's a lot of things within football that is making me slowly start to loose interest, even in Villa.

John Terry would definitely quicken up that process.

[ozzjim]

It's a very high risk move from Bruce. Paying out 120k a will to a nearly 37 year old would have to result in promotion or it looks utterly stupid. Problem with that is Terry is not likely to make that difference, we are already ok ish in defence but don't score enough goals. If we were shelling out a fortune on 2 of the best wingers we could possibly get I would think it made sense as it would significantly improve our side.  Adding Terry simply makes us cry slightly better, if that on his more recent displays.

Terry is looking for a player assistant role.
The wages may not be as big an issue for whoever is prepared to give him his first step towards becoming Chelsea manager.
