John Terry - Gone

[Villafirst]

He only said in the DM article yesterday that he'd decide over the next two weeks where his future lies?? Be surprised if he goes to Moscow?

"The fans were brilliant. They came to the training ground every day in the build-up to the game against Birmingham.

'Their message, "We would rather be relegated than lose to these!"

Oh dear.

Indeed.

He does do "effect". I have never met a villa fan who would say that however i have met plenty from the Sty with that view.

I've never heard that from any Villa fan.

the problem as I see it is that Bruce has royally fucked up with the balance of the squad. We have one senior experienced CB. If no one else comes in before January I don't suppose it makes any real difference if a replacement manager comes in or not - with such a disjointed group of players are they likely to do any better? Yet again we have build on shifting sand with so many loans. Come next summer the repeat cycle starts all over again.

Agree 100%

Bruce has stated that he sees Jedinak as a CB and is happy with him in that position, and as I have stated elsewhere, that misplaced judgement will ultimately be his undoing. Had Bruce been after Terry and been successful then perhaps that would've saved his skin for a time but all I hear is the volume of the ticking clock getting louder and louder.

Good luck to him. He obviously kept his options open for as long as he could. I felt like others it was time to get someone younger and permanent in when the season finished but given the defensive debacle i would have welcomed him back. Now lets hope Nan's hair comes to his senses and we get someone half-decent in

The most depressing part is that Collins is still a better centre half than Jedinak. It is woeful incompetence of the manager that has led us to this point, and something he should be paying for with his job.

I'm a better centre half than Jedinak.

[ozzjim]

You have to think Tuanzebe will be in there immediately if a new manager arrived. Bruce playing him at right back is the most odd thing.

According to sky sports John Terry has signed for Spartak Moscow

[cdbearsfan]

Jedinak it is, then. Four seasons in the second tier. Utterly disgraceful.

[Toronto Villa]

The one silver lining to the cloud is that playing Jedinak at CB speeds up Bruce's exit from the club.

well you'd hope so. my feeling is apart from not being fit to lace Terry's boots as a player, a 35 years old collins might not be in the same shape as a 36 year old Terry. He managed 12 games last season for west ham and was binned by Moyes after March. I don't know if he had injuries but would he last a championship season? Would prefer someone younger at least even if beggars can't be choosers.

I still think/hope he’ll try Tuanzebe there with Elmo at right back once Bolasie is fit.

I sincerely hope you're right. Given what we've seen so far I just don't have any faith in him making the right decision.
