Summer transfer, gossip and speculation thread

It would be great to have him back if the wages were sensible, but I think it would take some time to get him match fit.

We could use SB wages to help with the cost and give him the coaching role....

We can give him A coaching role, but he's nowhere near ready to manage Aston Villa. I like JT a lot, but no way. Wouldn't mind him back here for the season as CB. He'd not play every game but even his presence would make a difference, as it did last year.

Birmingham Meaning Evil are reporting a big sensational John Terry return hint by the man himself. Maybe it was Bruce's plan all along to try to get him back!

What does it say?

He’s voted yes on an Instagram poll, question was would JT say yes if asked to come back.

Do you have a link?

Don’t do Instagram but my son assured me it’s not fake and it was JT.

Cheers Frank.

Whilst Terry would be welcomed back by me. It isn’t great that we have to rely on a 38 year old whose legs could go at anytime

Even Jack's pointing out that the defence needs strengthening then.

Terry's shirt on its own would be better than what we've been witnessing of late.

Talk on twitter about Huth and Terry. We should sign both of the buggers. Anything to not have to see Jedinak play there again. Slow yes, effective quite probably.

Talksport have picked this up now as well.  JT to Villa.

Yep, we're that desperate I've have them both. One on the pitch and one in an ice bath/oxygen tent/cotton wool each game on an alternating basis. Twenty odd matches each over the season should see us through without crippling them.

What a mess Bruce has made of the defence this transfer window. Terry or Huth could have been here since July and he wouldn’t be desperately trying to save his job.

[andyh]

Have we forgotten that Terry was starting to deteriorate towards the end of last season and his lack of pace was often exposed.
Yes, he was great for most of the season, but bringing him back now smacks of desperation and appeasement.

Is/was the young and hungry stipulation out the window now, because it suits?

Jedinak is poor at CH, but I think a soon to be 38 year old with no pre season will be just as poor.

I would, however like us to consider bringing him in in a coaching capacity and to install some obviously missing team spirit.
