I really hope he's doing an Unsworth as we type.

Right now Terry returning seems by far the most favourable solution to dig us out of a defensive hole entirely of our own making.

There is also the added bonus that we get to see Chris Jameson explode.

He won't be the only one.

I won't have to watch him so he's still dead to me.

Desperate to bring in a central defender, yes.  To bring in a nearly 38 year old who is playing clubs off against each other to see if he can earn more money, sending platitudes to Villa, just in case, no thanks.  Move on Bruce.  Our owners need to wise up to this sort of shit.

He's a very good player, in demand, that would improve us no end.

The only attributes he has these days are his influence over referee's and his ability to talk to others.  I admire that about him, but he got deeper and deeper and his legs are gone.   This potential transfer just shows me how ill prepared Bruce is.

100 per cent correct.

I'd have him all the same.

I don't think my wife cares one way or another about Terry. Although obviously Wayne Bridges' other half clearly did back in the day.

His legs are gone? By that measurement having watched our lot vs Sheff Utd recently all their legs are gone. There was nothing to suggest his legs were gone when he played for us outside of the natural fatigue associated with being played all the time since he returned from injury. Something the manager should have done better with all of our more senior players, not just Terry.

Literally, in the case of some of them.

surely we would fall foul of FFP by paying Terry £60k plus a week?

Although Frankie Sandford is one helluva consolation prize...

There were times that he looked static and easily turned.
His positional sense, Organisation and use of the ball is great but his legs are going.

I doubt he is desperate for the cash right now. He would probably accept some long term deal to spread it over the next few years so long as the total amount was tempting enough to him.

The downside obviously being you are then still paying wages to a player even after he has left the club.
