Actually they should be happy with what they have got or are
about to get, $100 - $120 thousand per week and not compare to
sheva and ballack... Those two were brought in in different
circumstances... Ballack came as a free player without a transfer
fee... Shev... well, he is the owner's pet so they should realise
this and not ask for the moon...
Terry's demands were totally out of order, wanting a 9 yrs contract
when he is already 26 coming to 27... and also wanting to be the
highest paid player at chelsea during these 9 years... He has to
ask himself if he can still play at the top level in 5 yrs time?
Most top clubs defenders normally don't last past 31-32 yrs of
age... Look at Sol Cambell, he was such a good defender, I would
say even better than Terry is today when he was at 26, 27... But he
has slow down quite a bit now that he is 33... Maybe the demands at
a top club could be too much for him but at a smaller club, he is
still doing ok with lesser games and pressure.
Terry and Lampard should realise that can they still do it outside
of England? If they go to a new club, a new country, a new style of
football... They won't be love by the fans anymore and they won't
have that kind of influence like they currently enjoy at
chelsea.
Most people belief that Lampare could still adapt given time but
Terry's style is more suitable to the EPL. So Terry should just
forget about asking for too much and accept the 5 yrs offer chelsea
has offered him, tho currently chelsea has re-draw their offer due
to his demands.
