Report: Terry Annoyed By Chelsea Pressure
The latest instalment in the JT saga suggests the captain is feeling pressured by his club and is not impressed.
Jul 26, 2009 6:50:02 AM
Chelsea captain John Terry is reportedly angry with his club for insisting he break his silence over his proposed move to Manchester City.
The Sunday Mirror claims that the England skipper feels pressurised by the Blues to speak out over his future and confirm that he wishes to remain at Stamford Bridge.
The report goes on to say that Terry is still unsure where his future lies and certainly, “has not given the club assurances he will remain Stamford Bridge.”
The news comes on the same day that Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti spoke out, yet again, about his skipper.
Speaking on the club's pre-season tour of the United States, the Italian insisted Terry would stay and urged the club’s fans to trust him that this would be the case.
Meanwhile, back at the Sunday Mirror, the tabloid quotes a close friend of the player as saying that the defender will not make a decision about what he intends to do until he returns to England.
“JT doesn't want to speculate about his future until he returns to England on Tuesday and has time to speak to his family and his advisers,” claims the paper’s informant.
“But it appears Chelsea seem to think harassing him at every given opportunity and giving misleading briefings to the media will force him into submission.”
