Chuffed for JT, deserves a new deal even if it’s just a year.Deserves to bow out on his terms and not the boards #cfc #CaptainLeaderLegend

However, a few fans still felt there were questions to be answered about the options Terry has, the time it took to offer him a deal, and comparisons to Frank Lampard’s protracted departure.
As we don’t know the details of the contract it could be miserly in comparison to what may lay elsewhere for him. #JT

Why has it taken till now to offer JT a new contract ? #CFC

Will a 1 year deal take #JT into retirement? Doubtful. So guess what? Yeah, we’ll be doing all this again in 12 months! Same as Lamps!
