John Terry Must Have Laryngitis

And Xabi Alonso too.

Rafa Benitez had to go on TV and tell the world that Xabi has an excellent contract and he’s not for sale. Total silence from Alonso.

Chelsea‘s new manager and its CEO and chairman all have said JT is the greatest, Chelsea and Terry are synonymous, and Terry is not for sale. Total silence from Terry.

We are not totally naive. We appreciate that loyalty is not a concept in football. But at some point enough is enough.

JT never gave any of his salary back to Chelsea when his life was in disarray, he was getting into bar fights, and his footy was suffering.

JT never gave any of his salary back to Chelsea when he mis-kicked his penalty try in Moscow, notwithstanding the club lost millions because of it.

JT never gave any of his salary back to Chelsea when Drogba and Cech drove Scolari from the Bridge, even though as captain his job is to hold the ship together.

And we are told all Alonso and Terry want is respect. That word respect is something, isn’t it? Well, we fans want a little respect too.  We are loyal to you Xabi. And we want some loyalty back from you JT. We appreciate that £5 million per year doesn’t buy you unlimited luxury. But it gets you pretty darn close. Get real boys.

Will Chelsea fans, including Abramovich, grow tired of Terry's greed?
