I voted yes in the John Terry poll. Honestly the only way I can square the circle is to separate the argument for the player from what I think of him as a man. The question I asked myself is this. If he captained the Villa to the hoard of silverware Chelsea have won in recent years would we turn a blind eye to his many faults? I'm pretty sure most Villa fans could ignore it. Just as Chelsea fans have done. IMHO that's the bottom line. Whether or not he's past it well I guess time will tell, be that at Villa Park or elsewhere.

There's no medical booked apparently so it would seem unlikely he'll sign at the weekend.
I am sure he insisted on no medical after all he is a legend.

He's always busy this time of year, getting ready to go and collect the Wimbledon trophy.

Or... we could just sign someone without age/injury worries for a fraction of the price, and concentrate on improving the areas where we were poor last year.
Oh you mean build a proper team? What's wrong with you?

He's just putting his headband on and polishing his racket. Quite an acheivement after winning the henley regatta

I don't know, I got a little nibble through earlier this was pretty much done.

Medical could be Monday now.

Happy Mondays.

My heart leaps with Joy at the prospect of what is next up SB's ample sleeve.

Like Elphick, that turned out well didn't it.

The sooner JT signs the better.

I'm baffled by such common sense. Please elaborate.

You'll be suggesting that we use tactics and try off the ball movement next. Nutters. We'll have none of that malarky at Aston Villa thank you very much.

On his Instagram account shown working out at Chelsea, Terry shows greater speed than Baker, greater control and distribution than Elphick.

What on earth are you talking about?

Because Elphick was rubbish we should be spending huge amounts of money on a 36 year old rather than buying players that we need more?

Like a keeper that looks like joining Boro for 2.5m that will likely be worth 10 in 18 months time.

Shouldn't the fact he's in, working at Chelsea pretty much alone to maintain his fitness and sharpness tell us all we need to know - from a football side - about his desire and commitment to still being able to cut it next season?
