Terry is in turmoil; HE IS NOW STAYING

JOHN Terry has admitted to close friends that he is in “two minds” about staying at Chelsea or moving to Manchester City.




The England captain’s heart is telling him to remain at Stamford Bridge, where he is regarded as Mr Chelsea.



But there is no doubt that the riches on offer at City, through being owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, have made Terry, 28, question his future.



City have had a bid of £30million rejected by Chelsea, who insist Terry is not for sale.



But the Chelsea skipper is aware that he could almost double his £135,000-a-week wage by moving to cash-rich City.



His pay packet at The Bridge doesn’t even make him Chelsea’s highest-paid player as Frank Lampard – one of the friends Terry has been confiding in on his future – and Michael Ballack are being paid £151,000 and £139,000-a-week respectively.



A gesture to increase Terry’s pay to at least the Lampard’s level is likely – and could be enough to persuade him to stay.



That seems the most likely outcome.



But until Terry makes a public statement on his future, doubts about where he will be playing this season – either in royal or light blue – will persist.



City boss Mark Hughes, meanwhile, has attempted to draw a line under the Terry debate until there is a definite outcome on the central defender’s future.



Hughes stated: “We keep discussing certain individuals and we keep on trying to give the same response.



“There is no value from our point of view in continuing to say the same things.



“I would much prefer to talk about the players we have signed. Really, that’s where my focus lies in the coming days.



“Obviously, the situation with other players and whether they come to the club, may well be resolved in the completion of the transfer window.



“But there is no news to add – so why discuss it?”



Chelsea are hoping to reinforce their squad but might have to admit defeat in their hunt for AC Milan midfielder Andrea Pirlo.



Pirlo, 30, started against the Blues in the 2-1 friendly defeat in Baltimore before being replaced by Gennaro Gattuso.



Speculation regarding a possible Chelsea move has grown ever since former Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti joined the Stamford Bridge side.



However, Milan boss Leonardo is hoping he can hang on to the 2006 World Cup-winning ace.



He said: “The market still has a very long way to go, but I really hope that Pirlo stays with us.”

Apparently he was meant to be announcing his intentions this weekend, he must really be giving it some thought.

John Terry has broken his silence over his future plans, stating that he is "totally committed" to Chelsea despite interest from Manchester City.


"There has been a lot of speculation recently about my future and I want to clear this up once and for all," said Terry on Chelsea's official website. I am totally committed to Chelsea and always have been. Chelsea have also made it clear to me consistently that there was never any intention to accept any kind of offer.


"When you are linked with any club, or with a manager who I have huge respect for, it will always make headlines but me leaving Chelsea was never a possibility. I know there has been comment that I should have made a statement earlier. However, throughout this period there have been numerous discussions between myself, the owner and the Chelsea board and we all agreed that the timing of any statement would suit everyone involved in those talks, not any outside influences or agendas.


"What is clear to me following those discussions is that Chelsea's ambition remains as high as ever. This has been further proved by the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti. I am certain that he will take this club on to the next level. Another important factor was knowing that Chelsea would be securing key current players for the long term. The strengthening of the squad around this core is crucial to pushing us onto greater success.


"I am as committed as ever to helping drive Chelsea forward and I will be proud to lead the team for as long as I can."

Good, now lets hurry up and sign some class CB's now instead of dragging this on any longer.
