He was a far, far, far better centre back than Gary Cahill has ever been. While Terry was good for us, even for him we had to play a certain way, specifically with quite a deep back line. We need mobile defenders imo, Mings is one and we just need to ensure whoever we sign to partner him has similar attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, he played with better players which in turn made him look better than he actually was, I thought Terry was average at best for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw that at the start of this season. Yes we would have had to do that necessarily with JT, but you play to suit your squad at times and he was pretty good for us in a tough league at a bajillion years old We can't say he couldn't read the game, as it's obviously just not true Edited June 9, 2019 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s one of the best defenders of all time, far from it, he lacked pace and reading of the game for me. He was a typical English defender, blood and guts style defender, I think Zatman agrees with me on this You're on the wind up here aren't you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HalfTimePost Posted June 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2019 Can't even believe we are debating JT. His spell here is pretty much the perfect 'bring in a golden oldie for a year'. 99/100 times it's a waste of money. But his was the one that will spur another decade of dinosaur managers doing the same thing. Comes in, takes some of the leadership responsibilities off the younger players, allowing Jack and Chester to develop (unfortunate for Chez to damage himself and probably never get to live up to it now). Helps them mature and assist in completely change our toxic culture (that I think we knew about for ten years that nobody could get rid of). And then stays on to coach when he can't play anymore. He didn't do it all himself and doesn't deserve all the credit. But it was a good bit of business for us. And he was always a class defender 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's universally accepted that he was one of the best readers of the game at his position. To play as long as he did with the lack of pace he has shows he must have had something.

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Terry at his peak for me was the best defender in the world at the time. Cahill was a great defender but comparing him to Terry. Come on now. Let’s all be sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandally Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 It amazes me that some want to pursue these thirty something signings, remarkably short memories. The club has already told fans its policy on how it will go forward, for those waiting for Sturrige, Cahill, Milner, Austin, I think this window is going to be a real disappointment. Look at Dean Smiths Brentford, built around players with energy, pace and an ability to carry the ball. Last season was a compromise using aging players brought in under Bruce’s tenure, the Premier League team will not be. Time for this club to look forward, not back, time for the fans to do the same 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXD Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I just saw that Sessegnon is refusing to sign a new contract. I haven’t seen much of the PL this season, so I don’t know how he did, but last season he showed real talent. Could be a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does leave he will probably join one of the big clubs for stupid money and sit on their bench for the next 3 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
