John Terry - Gone

[frank black]

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

we need some good news. Anything. The worst thing Re JT is he wanted to stay but was not offered the chance. The irony is not lost that JTs wages are probably less than the combined amount thrown on the Richards/McCormack bonfire every week

Richards/McCormack bonfire.....mmm interesting, strokes chin....solution to some of our FFP issues perhaps

Could claim on the insurance as well

McCormack would burn for weeks.

That’s the three of us now as key suspects if they somehow have a bonfire/bbq incident. 😇 it wasn’t me

We already know he wouldn’t escape over the fence

Terry to Derby for half we were paying him...shafted or what?
Wonder how JT will be welcomed back to VP after that?

[PeterWithe]

Not really, we cant afford to be paying him half what we were last year.

[Toronto Villa]

It’s not really that. We could afford to pay him just means we would have to cut even deeper somewhere else. Relatively speaking it just doesn’t make sense for us to pay him what he wants even at a slight discount given that we have to be very efficient now.

With generous applause I'd hope.

Agreed. He was brilliant for us. Never said a bad word, gave it his all. He wanted to stay and in the end it didn’t happen. There is no Villa related reason not to be appreciative of him if he does join Derby and play against us.

[Lastfootstamper]

The bloke was getting slower by the week. It speaks volumes of his desire and commitment to keep playing that he managed to look after himself well enough to drag his body through as much of the season as he did for us.

Good luck to him, I hope his end comes gracefully, but we can probably find better use for a million-and-then-some quid next season.

This. Although frankly on the pitch I do believe we'd seen his last hurrah. Think next season may well be one too many for his legs.

Absolutely. I think the layoff for that broken toe did for him; he didn't seem the same player after that.

That’s what happens at that age, you are fine if playing every week and keeping match fitness, it’s a real bugger if that rhythm is interrupted.

We were paying him £3.5m a year. Even at half the salary it's a shite load of money for a bloke who is as old as me.
