City no hope of landing Terry

City latest

JOHN TERRY quashed any lingering hopes Manchester City may have had of taking him to Eastlands by insisting he never wants to leave Chelsea.

City made an enquiry about Terry before the winter transfer window opened, Chelsea have confirmed.

That might underline the scale of City’s ambition, but Terry sees no problem at Stamford Bridge in terms of future trophy–winning potential.

And the 28–year–old captain of Chelsea and England, who came through the youth ranks in west London, is adamant he will remain a one–club player.

Terry was kept informed by Chelsea about City’s interest, and said: “I was very happy with their reaction as mine would have been the same.

“I have always said that I want to end my career at the club which I love and we all see no reason why that cannot happen.

“Given recent events I am more determined than ever to make Chelsea successful again.”

Chief executive Peter Kenyon told City, now backed by billionaire Arab owners, there was no chance of them landing Terry.

Kenyon said: “We made it very clear that John was not for sale. We did not entertain any further conversation on the subject and nor will we in the future.”
