James Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 It was widely believed when we signed Jonathan Woodgate that a similar deal for John Terry was also in an advanced stage, and that it was up to Robson to choose which one to go for. What if he had opted for Terry instead? How would things have turned out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boot Boy Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 He'd be widely regarded as a donkey and playing for an inferior club by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Robson tried to get Terry in the summer that Roman took over, not at the same time we bought Woody and we were told no chance. Thread over.

9 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 if we had won the tittle in 95/96 what would we have went on to do is another, would we have built on it or just been another Blackburn? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gray Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 We were looking at christiano ronaldo/viana We all know which one we chose. Would they have swapped places? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 We were looking at christiano ronaldo/viana We all know which one we chose. Would they have swapped places? Honestly if Viana went to Man U and Ronaldo went to Newcastle Viana might be the one scoring a bazillion goals a season now. You never know with this sort of thing. For a more recent "alternate timeline" game, imagine if we chose Sven over Big Sam last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 What if Mourhino had said yes to Sir Bobby? Would he have been promoted to manager when Bobby got sacked? Or would he have been let go too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 What if Mourhino had said yes to Sir Bobby? Would he have been promoted to manager when Bobby got sacked? Or would he have been let go too? probably unlikely that he would've been promoted given our probable distrust over what would be an (at the time) unproven foreign manager. He probably wouldn't be half the manager he is right now without his experiences at Porto anyway, so a moot point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RodrigoPalacio Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 John Terry was about to get into his car and drive up here until Desailly or someone got injured and they pulled the plug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Terry is hugely overrated. Has never been convincing at Int. level. Woodgate is/was a better defender. Haven't seen him play for a long time, not sure standard he is playing at anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer9 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Terry has been immense for Chelsea, regardless of what he's done for England. I know the media has their collective head up his ass, but he's still a top quality defender, even if he isn't he best in the world and isn't captain fantastic.

AlanSkÃrare Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Didn't we have an offer for Terry accepted in the weeks before Roman bought Chelsea? What if we'd not rejected the likes of Robbie Keane and Rio Ferdinand as youngsters..? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Individual players would have made little difference. The two things mentioned that might have are robson post keegan and if we'd have won the league. Things could have been so different then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 We were linked with Terry at around the time we bought Woodgate but we were also linked with Gallas too (i.e. paper bollocks). I think Robson only actually went for Woodgate at that exact time though. Chelsea were skint back then though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you ask Blackburn supporters if they'd rather our last 15 years or theirs, they wouldn't have to think very much I'd rather 1 win than a whole bag of 'almost but fell at the last hurdles' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
