JoetheRam Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Looking at the wages he's likely to be on, from a playing point of view, I'd rather persist with Davies and Keogh and spend the moolah elsewhere to strengthen the team. However, he could have a sort of commander in the field type role to play for Lampard which could prove invaluable. Tough call, on balance, I'd want him to slash his wage demands to consider it.

If he came he will definitely want to play for Lampard. However can he take orders from a friend? That could be the problem. Hopefully he would be professional enough to be able to handle it I'd have thought one of the positives of bringing Terry in, is that he wouldn't need to be coached or told what to do. He's that good. If anything Lampard knows that Terry would coach the defenders around him during games. I read somewhere that Terry would be a similar signing now as to what Mackay was back in the 70s - a true leader of men. I can only see it as a positive if he comes in. Especially for the younger boys training with the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Player coach perhaps, on coaches wages, but he gets to be registered as a player and make some appearance, but his real job is learning coaching, delivering coaching and being a back up for FL. As a £60k/wk defender...na. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendships are built on circumstance and that part of your life when you are in certain situations. I have no doubt if he did come it would be of a huge bonus both on and off the field. I just worry about that friendship when it comes to taking orders etc (I can only allude to the military, if a mate gets promoted they are usually moved away as they can no longer be both your mate and expect you to jump when asked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I would imagine Frank wants people around him he can trust. If he feels JT would deliver benefit both on and off the pitch he will have that discussion about coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northantsram Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Would anybody be happy if we sold Curtis Davies to Stoke for say £2m and brought John Terry in on a year deal (at a reduced wage) ? May be a good shout to allow a few more pennies for a rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if we bought someone like souttar to build for the future with the money. but I’d still prefer Davies, Keogh and (souttar) to be our 3 CBs next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwash_Ram Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Too old, too slow and would want too much money. If we bring in a centre half it needs to be someone with pace. We need to be recruiting for the future, this kind of short-termism is why we are where we still are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAT Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 It’s a bit of a Robbie Savage scenario. Personally I’m not a fan, but it could be what the club needs as this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Ram Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 As well as his on field leadership I'm ammused at the thought of him on the bench and wandering over to offer his opinion when some dick like Colin is trying to intimidate the forth official.

archied Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Rather than Terry come as cb I would rather move wizzy in there and get a proper wing back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFrankieL Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I reckon he could be a good option but as a player coach and on a coach's wages. Anything other than that wouldn't really be worth it or rather wouldn't be feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this isn't directly us 'building for the future', he was a world class defender in his prime and would be good to have around developing the young talent we have and will hopefully bring in.
