Would you welcome John Terry if he followed Lampard?

[Rample]

Clutching at straws but Terry is out of contract at Villa who now aren't going up.  They are going to talk about a new deal, but Terry for the time being has gone sailing apparently.

Lamps and Terry are best buds, so surely if Frankie wants Johnny to join us he'd more than likely come. Terry, like Lampard has said he wants to manage Chelsea one day so being player coach here for a season may well suit him.

Did he do well enough at Villa to think he could help out here as a player?

Could we partner him up with Davies given their ages?

Does his reputation put you off having him around the coaching staff?

If Curtis were to leave (don’t think he will) then yes it would be a good move. Don’t think we need both though.

If Terry were to come he’d have to take a drop in his £60k per week wages!! 

[Nuwtfly]

Personally, I would. 

From what I’ve heard, he was a sensational captain for Chelsea and Villa this season, and brilliant with the young players especially. 

Totally understand people’s reservations due to his well documented history in the press, though.

People on here were ok with Joey Barton joining us so for me JT would be a breeze... just keep an eye on yer wifes, those that live in the area!!?

i would only take him as a coach but not a player, He wouldn't be my first choice though. Think theres better out there who Lamps could get....

[ariotofmyown]

Time for someone to write him an open letter?

[Mick Harford]

I realise that this could just be media managed, and on the face of it (despite not knowing him and only going off media reports) he does not seem like the sort of bloke that I would get on with these days.

However, I cannot fault him for this, and do wonder if (like Raheem Sterling) he is given an overly harsh ride by the press.

 

[RiddingsRam]

If financially the deals right for the club then yeah why not ? He's still a class above the majority of centre halves in this league. 

[MackworthRamIsGod]

After a season of Rowett football I would take anything.

Have a like for posting a video of Kirsty Gallacher!

That was really nice and seemingly genuine interaction by Terry. Maybe not such a nutsack after all.

Would be a nice one to get over Forest too.

As a coach perhaps, as a player I'd worry he's going to lose his legs and be on a lot of wages.

I don't particularly like some of the things he's said n done, but I don't think he's in the Barton camp of "bad uns"

I don't think that's a worry.

He lost his legs years ago.

 

[StaffsRam]

No problem for me. If Lampard wants him and thinks he'll help, then by all means....

Wasn’t there a thread a year ago simply asking if we’d have JT? Am sure it split the opinion pretty well down the middle. On the basis of FL at the helm I’d say yeah, but they’re close to finalising deal so I’m sure there must be plenty of discussion re available funds. Unless these two are happy with pay cuts then I’d doubt Mel would be willing to go for it. 

[Bob Gnarly]

Yeah I would, f Frank Thought he would offer something positive toward the development of the side, why not?

Isn't there talk of Terry moving into coaching? If so then I'd assume that would be his primary role for us, and if so I doubt he'd be on the same money he was on at Villa for playing.
