Kevin Carr's Gloves 3273 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 So BSA is thinking of bringing John Terry out of international retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Terry's about 34 or something now, isn't he? So by the time we're next at a tournament he'll be pushing 37. He could barely run even in his prime ffs. At 37 he'll be getting about with a zimmer frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9193 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Terry's about 34 or something now, isn't he? So by the time we're next at a tournament he'll be pushing 37. He could barely run even in his prime ffs. At 37 he'll be getting about with a zimmer frame. Why the fuck is he going to need to run? All he's got to be able to do is boot the ball as far as he can and challenge at set-pieces. Â Â Christ, imagine it though; John Terry has worked under Mourinho, Hiddink, Ancelotti, and now he'd have to take instructions from Sam fucking Allardyce.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The England team will never progress if we keep going back to the same tried and tested players who have achieved nowt at international level. He's retired, move on. Which is something the media never seem to be able to do regarding his retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Did Wenger actually come out and blame club staff for not being able to buy players? Probably made up tbh. Or they don't need the job. The only other option is they're a fucking idiot.

Rayvin 4964 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) Ah really? What's the point in doing a letter like that if it's not real?  I've just read Wenger's comments, and they're not actually quite what is being conveyed in this letter anyway. Sounds to me like he's saying the club can't go out and spend £300m recklessly as it has a responsibility to other staff members - and I take that to mean, preserving their jobs by making sound financial decisions.
