Terry: Chelsea needed Drogba, Lampard to survive managerial upheaval

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 01/11/2010 - 04:05

John Terry has thanked Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba for keeping the Chelsea dressing room together as the club went through a raft of managers.

Terry has played for no less than five managers in the past three seasons.

He told Chelsea TV: It has been a test for me but I think I have dealt with it and not only me.

"People like Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, they deserve real credit because people hear about me but they don't tend to hear about Lamps and Didier behind the scenes.

"I can tell people that they are great and it is really important I have got their backing because we have had so many managers over the last few years and it was important that myself and Didier and Lamps kept everyone together and said listen, as long as we keep doing our job, we are going to have the fans there supporting us.

"That is what matters, Chelsea Football Club, not the manager, not the players because one day we won't be here and it is important we keep the players going and keep the belief in our club to go on and win trophies."

I would linke to know about transfers for January
chelsea have this ban hanging over there heads
boss no signinigs, if drogba, essien get injured in later stages of african nations
it will be tom late to buy anyone, anelka is still unfit, so why have chelsea not gone in to the market, the boss might decide to wait until lthe summer, but then we could be banned and i just feel the club are being a bit stupid
