Rample Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Terry on a free and an aging Davies goes to Stoke for a decent fee giving us a bit of rebuild/bank money. Win win? Davies the better player but no guarantee that either will stay injury free all season, Also Terry sorting Keogh, helping beat our January droop (something Davies couldn't do), and working for FL might make him a better option. Thinking medium term, when Lamps inevitably leaves us, and takes Morris with him, maybe we could keep Terry as a replacement boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 If Terry comes in then it will be a dead certainty that Davies will be leaving as they are both left centre backs. A real shame as he was one of the best players last season. We need to be clearing out the deadwood, not one of our best players. People keep mentioning the leadership that Terry would bring in, but Davies also provides the leadership and knows the dressing room already. I highly doubt that Davies has a release clause either as that was specifically in relation to Hull’s relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Even at his best I’d say that Terry was overrated. He was carried a lot by Carvalho and Gallas at Chelsea and he turned to poo when they left and it is not surprise that Man Utd then started their dominance. Even when Mourinho came in for his second spell, he had to have Azpilicueta(who wouldn’t move further than 10 yards ahead of Terry at all times) right next to him to prevent Terry being exposed. Terry was also crap for England when Rio didn’t play alongside him. His leadership skills are brilliant but as a player, not as good as people thought he was. Terry also has moments of pure stupidity and mistakes in him. If you think Keogh makes mistakes, you’re going to love Terry(not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I was sceptical at first, but they more I think about it the more I’m sold on the idea. People focusing on his age, wages, or the supposed nepotism are completely missing the point. The guy is a world class leader on and off the pitch. His experience, influence on the squad, and support for Frank will be priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a top centre back then you're a top centre back. It doesn't matter whether you're left or right footed or prefer to play on either side it's about how you work in partnership. If you play three at the back then who is the centre centre back ? if it's neither of those two!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he came it would be Terry and … Then together you get better than both separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you really rated Claude Davies, judging by your knowledge here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I think if this is happening Curtis will go which I’m sad about given his impact this season. As for questioning the potential signing of JT, can’t believe people are moaning already. FL has been in the job 4 days!! Also, the older generation (not me) will remember a similar signing...Dave Mackay anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable that people don't want Terry he's class still and if we get a fee for Davies it's a win win , bring a young defender in to learn from Terry.

Keogh and Davies had a great partnership, we have bigger problems to address than those two. Davies was bloody brilliant for us, so why change it? It's just taking an unnecessary risk.

Flip it around though ! If Davies is off to Stoke with the Roger the snake , for a fee and Terry comes in on the same money but for no fee it's a no brainer !

As of now, with Davies as our player, I'd rather pass on Terry and hold onto Curtis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outstanding, didn’t give Shearer a kick apart from once in the game where shearer stole barely half a yard on the turn 20 yards from goal, drove it like a bullet in the bottom corner. Lost 1-0! Excellent contest, showed McGrath still had it at 36/37 with no knees, but also showed what a bloody fantastic striker Shearer was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
