Impoverished thinking to want Terry back IMO. I only think short term still. I want to be as high as possible when our hands are freed from FFP.

Popular Post villarule123 Posted August 22, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2018 We need players in numerous positions, have 2(?) loans left, and there's a player available who was immense for us last season available for free and who won't take up a loan spot. It's a no brainer for me. He has some negatives, he's old and slow yes but as he showed for most of last season, his experience makes up for that a lot. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not in that sort of position though so you're presenting an unrealistic scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof hearted Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 We're obviously going for the Kevin Keegan score more than them approach, I'm excited "downstairs"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impoverished thinking to want Terry back IMO. While I agree with this sentiment, it just seems that there isn't anyone available for us to sign to fit that. Also we are apparently using our other loans for more wingers and not looking at some a center half doesn't help either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuanzebe is a good player and will show that over the season. Being played out of position isn't helping and Terry's start here was hardly stellar either.

So, if we don't sign a CB on loan by the time the window closes would you still rather not sign Terry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since we have untested and wobbly tenders. JT would calm them down a bit. Also, playing Tuanzebe at CB pushes Chester to the left side of CB, which it seems to me he doesn't like.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 JT if willing to accept reduced wages is a no brainer for me. Clearly got issues at the back, he instantly rectifies that, add in his influence and professionalism - priceless. Serious contenders for automatic imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it. Tuanzebe is a risk because he's young and untested. Elphick is a risk because he's not very good. Jedi is a risk because he's slow, uncomfortable in the position and likely to break down if played more than once a week. Terry is a risk because his legs are gone and he's at least semi (giggity) retired without a pre-season. Relying on any of them is a risk.

Honestly think a 38 y.o need more than decent shape to be able to manage a 46 (or 40 something pending when he signs) game season. Unless he's been truly dedicated with his agility and cardio a think he might struggle and pick up injury after injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
