John Terry - Gone

[Mister E]

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

With a couple of pacy, tricky strikers, hopefully.

By the way, the ads pop ups on here seem to be homing in on BE's shirt collection as potential purchases for the rest of us.

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.

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.

Which is why Derby will be paying half what we were.

Last few weeks he looked his age. The gap between defence and our forward line kept getting wider as the season went on. If we have any money a decent loan centre half with a bit of pace is a must. Just a shame Terry isn't in the dressing room any longer.

Very nice ;-)

Isn't that particular one from Zog's private collection?

Just heard that JT terminated his contract 4 weeks early when he was made aware of the financial situation at the club... Leaving the club on the 31st May, not the 30th June when all other player contracts expire. #AVFC #ProperFucked

Any chance of Gabby doing the same?

[Richard]

He doesn't need the money anyway but if true that's a very decent gesture by Terry.

[PeterWithe]

If that’s true that is a really supportive gesture, good on him.

Preferably backdated to when he last was any good. Problem solved.

[PaulWinch again]

Fair play to him if true.

[jwarry]

Fair play to him if true.

If it’s true my opinion of him will now have completed a full 180 degrees
