John Terry - Gone

[IFWaters]

Look at John Terrys' instagram, johnterry.26

His latest post is of him teeing off in Portugal (lots of pics of him keeping fit as well).

His comment on the pic .... reminds me of teeing off with the gaffer and alex bruce last year....

BRING THE MAN HOME !

Media reports suggesting Terry is in talks with Sporting Lisbon.

Sporting have Presidential elections coming up and one of the candidates has spoken to Terry with the idea of maybe playing one more season before he retires and after taking on the role of ambassador of Sporting in the Premier League.

Aren’t they financially fucked?

There has to be a centre back coming in from somewhere, especially considering we loaned Elphick out again.

[kippaxvilla2]

We are loaning Tommy Elphick from Hull.

[Keeno]

Is this actually a thing? It's not... right?

[WarszaVillan]

What's the deadline for free transfers? (sorry I know I'm behind.)

There's always money floating around Sporting. The elections should hopefully bring some financial stability and then you have the private investors that take their cut on players sold. Sporting have probably the best youth academy in Europe, the problem is they sell the players before the club ever wins a trophy or two, normally at the demand of the private investors. It's all sadly hand to mouth and has been for far too long.

If they were released before 5pm today, you can sign them at any point.

I'm praying something might happen during the international break now the younger options seemed to have all gone wrong. Bruce surely cannot go until January with what we have. 

[Villafirst]

Huth might be okay until January....

Interesting, I had a wander around both of the grounds and the fella at Benfica was saying they their acenemy was recognised as the best in the world, although I thought ‘ well he would say that’.

What makes Sportings better?

I just can't see Terry being arsed with giving up golf and his freedom for a few games for us. He can't be fit enough (and is doubtless too expensive) to make him our captain and first choice defender this year then give him one last year in the Premier League. If only we'd just signed a good centre half.

Interesting that Terry has posted an Instagram story tonight, picture of Abraham holding the Villa jersey, captioned 'YES TAMMY' and tagged @avfcofficial

Probably means nothing except that he does give a shit about us, which is more than can be said for some players still in Villa's employ.

Imagine Villa and the Rags..
