John Terry - Gone

[Fred Crump]

I’ll have a couple of large pebbles and a packet of gravel please...

While we're at it, can we get rid of the poll question, ''Do you want John Terry to sign for Villa?" ? A bit old hat innit.

[olaftab]

More of an issue the poll in this thread is now superfluous and should be removed.

Looking at it from Terry's perspective, it's a fantastic opportunity to work daily with such a great Coach. It's a very smart move on his side and should help him develop into the Manager he wants to be long term. Comparisons with Lampard should be shelved for a few years. Let's see where both are in 5 years time. My money is firmly on Terry.

Yep.  Terry is going down a road called 'Mourinho' whereas Lampard is going down one called 'Paul Ince'

I think that is really unfair to Lampard. He’s from a totally different era unlike the likes of Ince, Bruce etc. The new breed are thinking, knowledgeable footballers, such as Terry and Henry who bring so much more to the game IMO

Agreed. Lampard is far more humble and intelligent than Ince. He would be a better leader as well in my view rather than the self named Governor

Nice Interview:

My one doubt about Terry was he'd use us for a season, get his badges and piss off at the first manager job offered. Reading that, he sounds as smart and humble as I could hope him to be.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

For those that have any doubts..

[mcgrath_85]

They both spoke well, particularly John Terry. Let’s hope they can get us playing even some semi attractive football in the short term. It couldn’t get any worse ay.

[olaftab]

That's quite impressive and I am beginning to weaken my strong dislike  now as far as Terry the human being is concerned.

[PaulWinch again]

Good interview.

[Rigadon]

Please be excellent.

[West Derby Villan]

Early days but it sounds good without making outlandish promises

[Mister E]

For those that have any doubts..

Terry - "I'm starting at the bottom". Hmmm; could have phrased that slightly differently!

[PeterWithesShin]

"I'm starting at the bottom"

BUZZZ
Things he said to Wayne Bridge's wife.
