If that carried on for another 5 mins, you would have seen all the players removing wives and girlfriends from the group.
Oh and that comment that he's the greatest defender the club has ever had!!!! He's not fit to clean Paul McGrath's boots.
I think the constant stream of games in the Championship is going to break him, but if he can help get a winning mentality there it could make the difference.

I reckon it's a terrible signing. He's slower than most of the first choice defenders in the Championship. He's not getting any quicker. His performances for Chelsea last season were distinctly unimpressive, even in a back three and even considering that the rest of the team was absolutely on fire. His range of passing is limited and he won't help them to transition quickly. Lots of people are judging him based on the utterly collossal player he was 10 years ago. He DOES bring PASHUN, I'll give him that.
Plus he's an industrial strength MELT.

Went for the money obviously.
That said, if he can stay fit I think Villa are the absolute favourites for promotion now surely, they have a really talented squad anyway.

I'm not a fan of John Terry the human being at all. But half of what you've written is utter gash. His passing range is limited? Have you ever seen him play?! He's as good a passer of the ball from CB as there's been in the Premier League over the last 10 years, and that's off both feet.
He barely played last year, so is it any wonder his form dropped when he popped in for a game or two?
You are, however, correct about him not getting any quicker. I'd be surprised if he doesn't eat up most Championship strikers though, whose movement won't be a patch of the Premier League strikers he's played against. Plus, you know, he is a proven organiser of defences. So you'd assume whatever weaknesses he has will be covered quite well once that unit has been playing together regularly.
So I disagree. In fact, I'm still laughing a bit about just how much rubbish you've written and I'm still not entirely sure you've seen him play.

If all incentives are met including promotion he'll earn £77k a week at Villa

I love the last sentence here.
(Cleverly positioned screen grab, I admit, but I appreciate the BBC wording. I think they knew what they were doing).

Have villa got a very fast centre back to work alongside him? He'll also need resting for at least a dozen games so who covers him then?
This could be bad for him with most championship sides having a young speedster and/or a gnarly ******* up front who loves a bit of niggle. Not a combination to relish when your physical powers are waning.

'Couldn't face playing Chelsea'...
So what's he going to do if they end up drawing Chelsea in an FA Cup semi-final, for instance, refuse to play?

Wouldn't have wanted him here, but fair play to him, could have earned plenty more at the retirement pastures of MLS or China, obviously still up for a challenge, will certainly get that in the Championship. Be interesting to see how he does. Villa still got parachute money, and he's only on a 1 season deal, so not a massive gamble.

I am a l;ittle surprised he chose Villa as I thought that he would go to Brum and be lined up to take over from HR when he packs it in proably January time.

Tommy Elphick will cover him. A championship winning captain. Villa have a massive squad.

Exactly....he is cover. That's how good that squad is.

Surely Russian team, Spar Attack Moscow, can't be that desperate to have the ex Chelski chav, playing for them.
