John Terry City speculation dismissed

The Manchester City move to secure the signature of John Terry continues to be discussed and speculated upon in the media. Chelsea football club have released a joint statement on the official web site:

Following renewed media reports, Chelsea can confirm it received an enquiry from Manchester City late last year for John Terry.

This was rejected immediately. 

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon said:

'We made it very clear that John was not for sale. We did not entertain any further conversation on the subject and nor will we in the future. John is our captain and the captain of England. He is part of the heart and soul of Chelsea.'

 

John Terry added: 

'Chelsea told me what had happened with the enquiry as a courtesy. I was very happy with their reaction as mine would have been the same. I have always said that I want to end my career at the club which I love and we all see no reason why that cannot happen. 

'Given recent events I am more determined than ever to make Chelsea successful again.' 

We didn’t expect anything less did we?

Man City are blatently just trying to prove their new found stature in the game by going after the top players from rich clubs. Robinho from Real, Kaka from AC, now Terry from Chelsea. Weren't they even linked with Henry?

Hope the idiots get relegated

A City insider said:" Terry is the name that is constantly being mentioned around the club and there really is a belief that he would come if the offer was pitched at the right level." City boss Mark Hughes knows Terry from his own playing days at Chelsea.

"It is born out of hypocrisy and fundamental insecurity. There have been two kids on the block for the past 12 years. Suddenly, there is a third and that one is threatening to be more successful than the others and they don’t like it." P Kenyon.

All the money in China would not persuade JT to leave Chelsea.
