Won't he be expecting the captains armband as well?  Sure that'll please Chester no end.

ok guys you are right
lets go out and buy 4 players from lower level teams on 20k a week the " young and hungry type" like joe Bennett, westwood etc etc etc
and if I had a crystal ball 5 years ago I wonder if could of seen that I would on my way to preston Barnsley etc for away games

If only there were some options out there other than a 37 year old scumbag or a 20 year old player from division 3.

He hardly played last season, how do you know he's still a good player? And you don't think some players think he's scumbag, the same as we do?

With all due respect, how do you know he's not still a good player?  I still think it is a massive risk and is one not worth taking.

I don't, which is why I haven't said he isn't, just that it's a distinct possibility for a 37 year old that was rarely fit last season.

That would be a massive mistake imo. We shouldn't be over indulging him like that. He has to prove himself as a worthy Villa defender first regardless of what he's done in the past.

You did watch us last season right? A worthy Villa defender? What the heck is that?

[SoccerHQ]

Chester is fine for this level and would be fine with the right partner in the premier league.

I meant worthy Villa defender in the tradition of God, Southgate, Ugo, Mellberg, Laursen.

John Terry has massive warning lights flashing all over him, we really don'y need a slow, 37 year old here. I'm convinced this is a huge mistake.

[Rotterdam]

Imagine if we drew Chelski in the cup!
"...John Terry is on of our own..."

[nigel]

the jt offer equates to about 80k a week
how many times have we read on here that if we want to be a big club then act like one
if he helps us up then 4 miil a year is peanuts

I take your point, but it's a lot of money for a 36 year old.

I read something that said it's around £50k plus bonuses, including a big 'If we get promoted' one

[mr underhill]

this has got clusterfuck written all over it

[KevinGage]

"...John Terry is on of our own..."

Though not impossible, the odds on that are slim.

Far more likely is he'll be asked about Chelsea in every bastard pre match press conference he does.

[Neil Hawkes]

Maybe, just maybe, he will be able to "advise" the coaching team on some of Contes' methods?

[RussellC]

Usually, when we're all 'over the moon' about a potential signing, it turns out to be a terrible one. Having seen all of the negativity towards JT I'm now quietly confident that it'll turn-out to be a master-stroke!
