Sexydadbod Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Some of the signings in recent years: Carson, Baird, Warnock, Shackell, Bent, Ledley, Davies, Nugent, Huddlestone, Anya, Jerome and now potentially Terry. What happened to scouting hidden gems like we did with Martin, Keogh, Russell and Bryson? Has someone at the club got a fetish for mature men or are they Dad's Army fans? Good luck trying to play attacking football with Davies and Terry as the two centre backs. Any half competent team would open them up like a knife through butter. Not opposed to bringing Terry in as a coach but as a player absolutely no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I’d be surprised if terry Didn’t join us to be honest. Was initially sceptical of him coming as a player, and can understand those against it, but I’m coming round to his leadership qualities and acting as the link between Lampard and the playing staff. If he drops his wages like he has to I think he’ll be decent, as long as the rest of the signings are younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajstrawb Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Just been speaking to Mel down at Kingsway (what a pleasant man, btw) was tempted to ask about JT but bottled it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Keep reading comments about Terrys' leadership qualities - don't think Davies has done too badly in the captains' role so quite happy for that to continue, unless of course we're off-loading Davies?

Warwick Ram Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 In theory John Terry could be Frank’s Dave McKay. An experienced centre half coming to the end of his career to guide a team. If he has legs around him his experience will be great. His influence on players like Lowe, Elsnik and Guy could be huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're relying on Davies and Terry (if he came as a player) to provide our attacking intent then you'd be right but I reckon Lampard just might play some other players to provide the threat. ?

This occurred to me. As part of a wider strategy I can see why signing jt is a shrewd move. Imagine landing a couple £m for Curtis and maybe the same or morefor keogh. Bring in jt to mentor some youth and ffp becomes a memory. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it all links with each other. One of the reasons that Rowett was defensive was because he knew that Keogh and Davies would be left exposed on the counter attack if he played attacking and high up. One slow centre back is fine as long as you have someone next to him who is very quick. Two slow centre backs is a killer unless a team is playing a deep block. Terry has always struggled in his career when playing with another slow centre back. His best football came when he played alongside a quicker centre back (Gallas, Carvalho, Cahill). Even at Villa he had a very quick centre back in James Chester next to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was at his best he was very quick but I noticed he is losing his speed (which was particularly evident against reading away) and he has had to adapt his game in certain aspects, which his natural as he is getting older. One solution is to play Wisdom at centre back, like he did at Salzburg, as Roy Mac said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be very disappointed if he sold Davies. He was very good last year and has more years in him left than Terry. I imagine his wages would also be less than Terry’s.

I'd hope Curtis will stay too, great 1st season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, for me Davis was our best player last season, played every game, for me he is our perfect captain for next season, I would not swap Davis for Terry, Terry would never play as many games as Davis, also Davis is 4 years younger and has more pace than Terry ever had.

Papahet Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If Stoke came in tomorrow for Curtis Davies with a 2 million plus bid, i'd say "thanks and goodbye", then laugh my way all the way to the bank for mugging them off twice within a month. If we got Terry in a player/coach role, they'll be a queue of young players wanting to work with him. He's as respected as Lampard within the game. Had an absolutely brilliant season at Villa (look on their forums), they worshiped him there. Pretty sure he was in the EFL team of the season(?). I guarantee he'll change opinions within a month if he was to join DCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
