Too good for the Championship, but I'm glad he's here.

I am fickle where JT is concerned. Ha ha.

I think John has mirrored our season. Looked dodgy at the start and I was wondering whether the signing was more trouble than it was worth given how poor Chester looked alongside him but they both have cigars out now which is good to see.

For me we have to prioritise signing a centre half in January. If him or Chester get injured and we've only got Samba to call upon we're buggered.

Another thread poll that is going in the bin. What do we know anyway?

His fitness has been a pleasant surprise aswell.

Thought he'd struggle to play the midweek games given his age but don't think he's missed a league game yet?

At his age, you have to keep playing, in fact stamina in late 30s is not the problem.
It is the breaks that kill you and getting back to match fitness from injuries.

Have to say him and Chester were like a brick wall last night, long may it continue.

Alongside Chester he's better than anything we currently have even allowing for his years and his lack of pace. His added experience and know how will definitely add something. I don't think we'll be too guilty of the defence being 'all over the place' in games next season.

Having said all that, I don't really want him here and would rather as others have suggested opted for a younger player with potential.  If you're Steve Bruce with only this season to get the job done you're not going to take that risk if you can bring in Terry.

I’m not one to blow my own trumpet but I’ll make an exception here.

looking increasingly influential without it becoming a narcissistic 'look at me fest'. Helping to get us promoted would be right up there with the highlights of his career.

With the state they are in I wonder if Everton's highly paid director of football and former top flight centre half Steve Walsh regrets not trying to change John Terry's mind about staying in the Premier League.

It's that knock on the head you got yesterday.  Hope you're feeling better today with no long-lasting after effects.  Mind yourself.

He can join them next year if he still doesn't want to play against Chelsea.
