Would you??????

Absolutely no chance.

Ledley King, when fit, was a far, far better player all round. Ferdinand was a far better player. If even go so far in saying Woodgate would get in over him if I was England Manager. He's gonna win leagues and cups, when the club has a basic endless pot of money. Like City have. In MY opinion (note those three words!) he is, without doubt, the most over rated player in the world.

Definitely no!
It would never happen anyway.

But those who would welcome him ought to be ashamed of themselves.

You are right it would never happen, but I won't feel ashamed in saying that I would be happy to get him for a year. Far better than any defender that we currently have on our books and how many goals from corners would he have saved this season, lots!!!

Then you have a very different attitude to our team than I do, nothing personal.

Just occasionally in football as in life you have to make sacrifices and I would rather try and find another way than have someone like him in my team.

Of course we don't know the intimate details of all those who played for us but Peter Storey is the only player I can think of that's been a real scum bag.

Anyway, far to much time being spent on something that will never happen but he is a scum bag!

You realise you've just contradicted yourself there?

Saying he isn't nice enough to play in a fulham shirt is pathetic. I couldn't care less what a footballer was like in his personal life as long as he plays well on the pitch and respects the fans and the club. Although there some exceptions out there of players I detest and wouldn't want them to sign regardless of their quality.

Under no circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt -  NO ! Not  if hell were to freeze over or we were all allowed to park in disabled spaces !

Is the main anti John Terry theme due to the fact that he plays for our closest neighbour but not a rival these days!! Really not sure how you can knock and insult somebody who has been 1 of the best English central defenders for a lot of years, like him or not? I don't like him either!

I agree with Blanco.  I find him repulsive as a person, but I'd want him in the back for us.  Think of the situational knowledge he could teach the 'kids'.  One thing worries me: How fast the body of a player, no matter how accomplished he was in his prime, can deteriorate.  Example: Kobe Bryant of the NBA basketball team, the L.A. Lakers.  In little over a year, the man is a shadow of his former self, and not without trying.  The knees go.  The back hurts.  The explosive burst speed gone.  Reflexes diminished.  The mind wills it, but the body just says 'no'.  Not that Terry was ever fast.  Far from it.  And yes, he does have the turning radius of an oil tanker.  :)  But no one reads the game as well as John Terry.  He knows where he needs to be, and when, so he doesn't have to be fast.  He never was fast.  But his football IQ is off the charts.  Yeats used to write about being able to separate the dancer from the dance.  I think you'd have to do the same with John Terry the person vs. the football player.  Don't let the person influence how you rate his skills and ability.  I just worry about how much that ability has deteriorated, given Chelsea's performance this season, and what two or three games I've seen on TV.  But he's likely going for big money somewhere, and I don't think Khan will offer enough, if he were so inclined.  And then there's the ego matter to consider.  We aren't near the top or even middle of this league.   On the other hand, it is London, so as not to be disruptive on his personal situation, and a smart manager might make inquiries...

There's reason to knock and insult him -- plenty of them. Quite apart from 'maintaining good relations with the wives/girl friends of his teammates,' and the criminal activities of him and his family, there's the incident of Terry and Lampard -- drunk as lords -- taunting American tourists stranded in London after 9-11.

Whatever technique he might have left on the pitch won't benefit our kids nearly as much as being exposed to his disgusting character could hurt him.

I do have a favorite John Terry moment, though. It was when Dempsey blindsided him and left him counting flights of birdies round his head. I cheered myself hoarse when that happened.
