Pros: I can't imagine the dressing room ever turning on Frank if Terry is there Still a top defender for this level Natural leader He is a top professional and that helped improve the younger lads at Villa, particularly Grealish (https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-exit-john-terry-14726373) Cons: Another old signing Probably huge wages I imagine it would result in Davies losing the captaincy His arrival would probably mean Keogh or Davies would leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Reading between the lines of Frank's comments I can't see Terry coming for the following reasons. 1. Financial - we have little money and needs to spent across the squad. 2. Defense - was our strongest suit and where we currently have the most players. 3. Frank I believe would want to be the one clear voice as manager leading the team. I maybe wrong be I can't personally see it happening. Plus he is too old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 If he came as a player/coach maybe Frank could persuade him to join on a coach's wage rather than a player wage - not like Terry needs the money! Also, if we were to sign somebody younger as well like Souttar then there aren't many better CB's around to learn from than Terry. I think if Terry was to join it would probably mean one of Keogh, Davies or Pearce would leave. Personally i'd be happy with a Terry + Davies CB partnership for a year with a young back up like previously mentioned Souttar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Matt Miazga. Really like this young American CB.By all accounts I've read did very well at Vitesse on loan from Chelsea. With Lampard's connection to Chelsea, would be pretty straightforward to get him on loan or even for a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 We don't need to spend any money on permanent transfer this summer - there are plenty of more talented Chelsea & United youngsters we should now have access to on loan. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiddingsRam Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 All the assumptions that were going to raid Chelsea , Man City etc etc .... For there youngsters we haven't even got a clue how we're going to set up , who Frank's going to like dislike as a player . He could see something in players that no other manager has seen , remember were getting a manager / person who has been surrounded by world class players all his life. He might look at say Butterfield for example and see him as the absolute key or he might look at someone we have really rated over the years i.e Keogh and think no , just no ! All we know or presume about the way he's going to set up and the player attributes hes going to look at are the things we've heard in the press conference. Fast paced , forward thinking attractive football . With and without the ball. To me that translates were going to press high ,look to pass forward quickly and get the ball from front to back in a style that's please the on the eye. I.e shorter faster passing rather than some of the so called hoof ball we've been used to seeing. So summing up I think we're going to see players flourish with energy , technical ability and pace. (Or a blend of in the 11). He also mentioned about having determination and work ethic Top of my head I can see players like : Carson Davies Wisdom Lowe Butterfield Elsnilk Guy Thorne Lawrence Jerome Players I think may struggle Forsyth Johnson Pearce Huddlestone Hanson Nugent But I could be a million miles off it's all assumptions and if buts and maybes.

Boss Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I would love Mount - he would be the number 1 target for me, even on loan. Think after his season he is ready for a prem loan though. Similar to Abraham, although I think he could go to a lower Prem team again. Surprised I haven’t seen too many mentions of Dasilva, he was absolutely fantastic at left back last season for Charlton, a position we seemed to have struggled with for quite a few seasons now.
