Shockingly not on BBC, interesting tho as he either wants more money or wants out. He can buy out his own contract if he wants and walk for free at the end of the season, but who could afford him? Real? him and Cannavaro at the back?

Great player but like Cannavaro stick him in a team where hes not shielded and has players running at him and hes not so great ie England.

not a hope of terry leaving the bridge,there could be contract talks not quite going smoothly at the moment between them,but its the press and media with there usual hype and blowing up nothing.

But he can buy his own contract, that new rule brings player power to a new level. Doesnt even a need a club to go (signing on fee and no transfer fee) so can become a free agent. If hes worth 20 million he can ask for that as his signing on fee and chelsea get nowt only his wages for the next 2 years back.

Unless you mean he is loyal ?

It's probably mostly press hype. There is probably some issue due to the amount of money that Ballack and Shevchenko are being paid but I'd be relatively sure that a deal will be done.

Doesnt that Fifa rule only apply to players aged 28 and older?Even still theres no way he would leave Chelsea.Chances are this is either rubbish from the press or else Terrys agent is trying to get him more money,so he gets a bigger cut.

If you're under 28, as long as you've served 3 years of a contract it's unprotected and can be bought out. It's only 2 years for over 28 year olds.

Well in fairness, if Ballack/Shev are worth ~£100k a week to Chelsea, Terry is surely worth a couple of million per week.

Terry was about to walk pre-abramovich until they gave him the contract he wanted. Crazy to hear about how he "bleeds blue" now.

That's how I'd see it too. I'd guess that his agent is stalling on a higher contract, happens all the time. More than likely the media blowing it up but couldn't see Terry leaving Chelsea - although would love a player like him at Man U

I'd say he's just waiting to see if Mourinho will still be manager next season.

Ye agree with above, if mourinho leaves JT will probly go with him. They seem to love each other. It would destroy chelsea losing him

Lampard seems to be in the same boat. Football365 were reporting during the week that he wants assurances Mourinho will be there next season if he's gonna sign a new contract.
