Terry – Luka Modric will add to Chelsea
Speculation on Luka Modric signing for Chelsea continues to do the rounds, and today John Terry has spoken about a possible move for the Croatian, a move that excites the Chelsea Captain.
Terry is currently on tour in Asia as Chelsea prepare for their opening fixture tomorrow against a Malaysian All-Star XI, but taking time out to do the usual press interviews he had the following to say about Modric joining him at Chelsea.
“He’s a world-class player who is very difficult to play against. He’s agile, quick and a great finisher like we’ve seen over many years. We’ve got a good squad. If he comes, he could certainly add to that.”
Terry was quick to play down a possible move though by adding, “He has his own problems at the moment. It’s probably a little bit disrespectful to Spurs to talk about the situation”.
Perhaps Terry has had a word with Andre Villas-Boas about signing Modric, but as the manager has already stated he will not be making any moves in the transfer market until he returns to England. The transfer window in the UK does not close until 31st August so there is plenty of time left yet for any deal to be struck.
A Chelsea revival will require more than Villas-Boaz; Chelsea must get fresh players. It’s time for staff and fans to face some facts. Chelsea has six slowing players; they cannot hope to compete with Man Utd and Barcelona like that. If Chelsea are serious about beating these teams they will need to sign some special talent; and this talent must be young enough to give Chelsea a good ten years. We understand the need for evolution instead of revolution; a big and sudden change can make a team weak. But one or two new players isn’t going to do it either. Some serious change is required. Chelsea’s right wing-backs have been sub-standard for a number of seasons, and some of our beloved golden-oldies are a meter short of pace. Against the top sides, this simply won’t do! So how serious are we?
