I've heard that he was very good in 'Lost'

Any chance we could amend the title of the thread please by removing the signed bit as it's confusing?   Every time I see a post I think he has and when I read it he hasn't.

My heart sinks each time I log on.

So, what do people think about John Terry?

I thought he was excellent for us. I got to meet him at the Acorns Christmas party/Villa squad visit and he made sure he spoke to every member of staff, parent and child despite some PR woman trying to hurry things along. He wasn't as physically imposing as I expected. He looks shorter in height and slighter of build close up. I would have him back based on his performances last season, but there would be a risk of it being one season too many for him.

Short term - have him back in a heart beat

Long term - I think he would do Bruce a favour and save him his job (as he would be the voice in the dressing room and coach) so this is the bit that concerns me

I don't think Bruce deserves that breathing space

I like him too. He's definitely not wank, which is more than I can say for Collins.

No. If he has had no pre season it will take him, at his age, till November to get match fit.

Na. He’d go straight into our next game and be as good as ever.
I agree. It's not like he's a box to box player.

I was thinking that also - but maybe JT isn't that much of a pal with SB and would come even if he is not there.

It's not just me then?

I've taken the "signed" out of the thread title in case anyone misunderstands and thinks it's talking about this season.

It might also be interesting to reset the poll Dave.

I voted yes simply because of the desperate need for a CB at the moment. Coupled with the fact that he'll hopefully galvanise the dressing room like he did last season & be an experienced,calming ear in Jack's ear. As for it saving Bruce's job,I can't really see it. I honestly believe his day's are numbered under the new regime. Hope so!

I'd welcome him back openly.
