scottiec Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 On a 1 Year Contract, he's looking at wages of £3,120,000 now to sign him to cover the cost of his wages only it would require 42,887 shirts with his name and number and the sleeve patches to cover these wages. (adult shirts) An extra 1,578 paying fans per game (average ticket price £43) or obviously a mixture of the 2. I've seen someone has said that it is nothing more than a publicity signing, this might be true but if it pulls in a few extra people each game and sells a few extra shirts for the fact we have Terry the numbers could make financial sense. All this is without him having to kick a ball he could even be on the bench and people would still come to the games as they might have a chance to see Terry play. Personally no I wouldn't want us to sign him as he wouldn't bring anything to our team and he isn't what we need right now but for the right club the numbers could make sense.

billyblack Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Makes me laugh. People moaning about having no pace in the team. Slow CB's etc. Then they want to sign this guy. Joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your top earners are on say 35-40k a week, and someone comes in on 60k a week, it will clearly cause issues. Hence why I wouldnt want him for 60k a week, it aint rocket science mate Not sure why it would cause issues. Terry has played his entire career at the top of the game - none of our current players have. There is good reason why he would earn more. Does it cause issues now that some players int he squad get more than others? With the exception of FF I think everyone else understand how this works. Not saying we should sign him btw - think those wages are just too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Terry is overrated. If he had been playing for an average side or below his weaknesses would have been found out. For a start he's miles too slow and his positional sense is not great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but you don't get away with it at the top level for over 10 Years if he is anything like what you are suggesting. Personally, I cant stand the bloke but there is no denying that he has been an excelllent captain and central defender for Chelsea.

You are certainly right that Terry can't be so severely lacking to compete at the highest level for so long. However, he has been at Chelsea for that entire time, with always one (sometimes two) top class defensive midfielder(s) sat in front of him. Claude Makelele in his pomp would allow almost any centre half behind him to look rock solid. Terry barely played last season, so making any definitive judgement on his ability to play late into his career would be almost impossible. 60k a week is a big gamble for any club at this level IMO. His influence, ability to lead and his stature as a prize winning bellend are the only things you could be sure of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be a misinterpretation on your part and that says more about you than it does about me.
