West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has admitted he and every other manager would think about signing John Terry.

The central defender wants to carry on playing next season and Bilic believes that although he is now 36, he remains a very competent defender.

Bilic told Sky Sports: “He definitely has got at least a couple of years left with his quality and experience and leadership.

“Whether that will be with West Ham or elsewhere I don’t know, we don’t think about that right now but I don’t think it is the end of John Terry’s career. He’s going to do well.

“Every manager and club would think about John Terry if he’s available because there are not many leaders like him, but then again we have experience in that position, we have good players in that position, so never say never but to be fair I don’t think about that right now.”

    Complete. And. Utter. Rollocks.

    I’m struggling to think of a player who would be less welcome by the fans and I’ve thought of all the usual suspects. He’d be about as welcome as Nigel Kahn in the directors box ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    We are becoming a laughing stock, if we buy Terry it would be another terrible decision, if Bilic wants another ageing player in the squad with no pace then let him sign himself. We are a joke when it comes to transfers and no one has yet been held accountable for such a shocking waste of money last summer and Christmas.

    If we sign this racist thug I won’t come to a game all the time he’s wearing claret and blue.

    Personally as long as wages werenโ€™t silly id have him for a season or two, heโ€™s still a top draw defender, who at the moment would be an improvement on some we have playing centre back while our best are out injured.

    Lol ffs calm down lads,i have been off work today & listened to loads of managers on tv & the radio praising him as a player just like Bilic has,it doesnt mean they are all going to race out to sign him does it.
    They have just been answering the questions asked about him in most cases and they aint going to state that no way in a fit will they sign him live on air.They are just playing the media
    games ๐Ÿ˜
