John Terry - Gone

[gpbarr]

His best years behind him, and the personal stuff dissected by the media - but this is for me a very good signing. We have missed some steel for many a year, he is a leader through and through (not something you lose), and he will be more than good enough in this league. Well done AVFC

I do feel sorry for Baker as well.  However, he is injury prone and has never completed a substantial run of games so between the pair of them we have a solid partner for Chester.

I bet he made around 30 appearances last season. Not that bad all things considered, such as Elphick starting the season as well

I honestly felt Chester & Baker complimented each other well. Chester reads the game quite well and Baker was the head in where it hurts foil for him. Plus he's left footed which means we had a natural balance at the back as well

Although not naturally left footed, Terry has always played as a left centre back.

Neither were servants of 18 + years at one club or captains

No one was allegedly a Villa Fan and had played regularly the season before picking up the player of the year.

He his here, let's not dwell, deal with it.

And mainly I feel sorry for Baker, because if he can't start at this level at his age he should look for a new club. Which if he does will leave us in yet another mess come next season

But welcome John. Don't let us down.

The complete negative in me says JT will probably get injured a few games in and we'll be back with Baker & Chester anyway!

No signing comes with a satisfaction guaranteed stamp.

He is a leader, a winner, a very good defender, and a player with an excellent personal network.

It is possible that he is well past his best, but every player can lose form, and on a one year contract he is worth a gamble. He does not need the money, he does want to play football, which is a significant head start on numerous other highly paid PL wasters.

Well worth a gamble.
