Chelsea: Terry-Mourinho Relationship Breaks Down
Ike Casillas looks more of a club symbol than John Terry and despite what he stood for then at Madrid Jose dropped him. It seems the Terry days are rounding up but i believe Jose will still use him but the arrival of Stones might reduce him more to FA cup matches.
John Terry’s subsitution at Manchester City last weekend came as a shock, not least because it was the first time Jose Mourinho had ever subbed the defender off in the Premier League.
Add to that the fact that Terry is club captain, and that he played every single minute of every single game last season, and it was a puzzling move that’s left the collective football world scratching its head.

Fans Of Rival Clubs Will Love To Have Me - John Terry
Chelsea defender John Terry insists fans of rival clubs would "love" to have him in their team, and says that while he uses criticism to his advantage he does not want to be hated when the time comes to retire.
At 34 years old Terry was one of the most important members of Chelsea's Premier League-winning squad last season, playing every minute as he secured his fourth top-flight title of an illustrious career.
But he has often courted controversy and in 2012 was found guilty by the Football Association of racially abusing then Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand, which landed him a four-match ban and ended his international career with England.

Sterling Great Signing For City - John Terry
Manchester City got an outstanding deal in signing Raheem Sterling from Liverpool for £49 million, Chelsea captain John Terry says.

"Sterling was one of the best players I came up against last year. He caused a lot of problems and I think he is going to be a big player for them," the Chelsea defender told the press.
