John Terry to be Prem's top earner
-
CHELSEA have agreed a new £6.8million-a-year deal with John Terry which will make him the highest-paid player in England. SunSport can reveal the Blues expect their skipper to sign a £131,000-per-week contract when they return to England next week. Chelsea are in the USA on a pre-season tour and Terry’s agent Aaron Lincoln flew out to Los Angeles last weekend. Negotiations with chief executive Peter Kenyon on the England defender’s five-year deal have been going on all this week.
As revealed by SunSport three weeks ago, Roman Abramovich demanded the contract disputes with Terry, 26, and Frank Lampard be resolved in America. The Blues owner arrived in LA yesterday to shake hands on the Terry deal — and the Russian billionaire will now meet Lampard to discuss his future.
Lamps and JT, who was on £68,000 a week, argued they should be on a par with Andriy Shevchenko and Michael Ballack, who earn £121,000. Chelsea have finally agreed and now hope Lampard, 29, will extend his contract, which has two years to run.
Boss Jose Mourinho and Rom celebrated the Terry agreement with a drink at the teamÂ’s Beverley Hills Hotel. -
its crazy isnt it?
it'll never end. -
all the talk of Chelsea wanting to cut them salary output, making their club profitable and so on so on
you just have to agree that these days its the players world, if you fail to match their expectation while other clubs are willing then you either say good bye or you match their price. -
on par is 121 leh, not 131.

noticed that the figure always change.
JT and lampard makes only 68k per week? i thought it was reported at 100k.
ballack and sheva makes only 121k? i thought it was reported at 130k.

if they keep playing big bucks to players, they will be making a huge loss in the long run even if they manage a few titles along the way

Mega Bucks which i think it's totally outrageous. Notice why so many players flocked to Chelsea despite knowing that certain players' first team places are cemented.
Cheers.

Terry 'breaks toe in US friendly
Chelsea captain John Terry reportedly broke a toe in the 1-0 win over the Suwon Bluewings on Wednesday. The Blues are on tour in the United States and the 26-year-old England defender played until half-time when he went off in a pre-planned substitution.
Reports suggest that Terry has now agreed a new lucrative five-year contract to stay at Stamford Bridge. Along with Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard, Terry had two years left on his previous deal. Terry is expected to put pen to paper on his new contract when the club return to England from their tour of the United States next week.
His latest injury adds to Blues boss Jose Mourinho's concerns, with fellow defender Wayne Bridge ruled out for two months because of a hip problem. However, it seems likely that Terry will be fully fit for the start of the season and is also set to be available for England's friendly against Germany on 22 August.
I thought he was holding out for a 9 yrs contract ??? I guess he finally realise that no one is going to get a 9 yrs contract, at least not at his age already... Only Fabregas at Arsenal got a long deal but then again he is only 20... and his deal was also 8 yrs only...
