John Terry - Gone

[VinnieChase84]

can they afford him and FF?

Mate of mine who is big derby says there’s now way they can play him anywhere what he was on with us

It's a bit of a head scratcher. Part of the reason Rowett is off is because they have to slash costs.

Star (I know!!) say he’s off to Derby. Can guarantee them going up next season now, just you watch.

Terry was a great influence and earned my respect for sure. Refreshing to have one season of his commitment compared to five of hero worshipped Gabby who treated us with contempt.

Spot on.

Derby are cutting costs too. Unless he does it as a favour which is highly unlikely they're unlikely to want to add 50-60k a week for Terry however good he is at this level and irrespective of the relationship with the  new manager.

The Rams are as hamstrung as we are financially, so I think this is unlikely. Anyway I really appreciated JT's contribution last season but that doesn't mean I'd feel too comfortable with a managerial rookie at the helm, let along two. I think Mel might have dropped a bollock here.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if it was us it would end up as a car crash, but it'll probably bloody work for them!

I think JT the player is bordering past it even at theis level now - Fulham constantly targetted that channel first half and played one through ball that he couldn't turn quickly enough on the edge of his box and bang it was a goal.  he would have merit in the dressing room for Lampard though as he did here, by getting the squad unified and on side with the manager.

He's met up with our lad Chester on holiday today (via Instagram).

What a partnership they made. Hopefully JT will be bigging him up now to dig his heels in and carry on as captain.

Thats Chester's honeymoon isn't it?

He just has to turn up everywhere doesn't he?

Hah!

All the same I doubt he'd be there if he wasn't wanted. JT seems to have rented or bought a yacht and is sailing around Greece on it so he's probably just dropped by for a quick beer and a photo op and then back on the seas again. As rich folk are wont to do, it seems.

I'm still glass very empty at the moment and my worry is that the professionalism and drive that Terry and Snodgrass served up is going to be lost for good.

Sure they were both pretty ponderous on Saturday but the effect they've both had was obvious.  It's not as if Villa has had that as a club ethos for years.  The effect of all these leeches and hangers on has poisoned the club and I think it needed another year or so of leadership in the dressing room to sort it out.

Aint life grand?

If it is their honeymoon than our James needs to be careful with JT sniffing around.

Professionalism rubs off just as much as half arsed behaviour does.

The club has been changed for the better in this regard.

fuck me, we've got to cheer up. And that's an order.
