Zhirkhov is a class act, and the fact that we have also been linked with Wesley Sneijder might be an indication of things to come

Terry is one of the highest payed players in Chelsea, an icon and is "the" face associated with the Blues. In fact, I believe he was plain lucky when he was handed captaincy and won the league, as he was still not a complete player (though we had the likes of Lampard, Gudjohnson, Robben and many others flourishing and actually being the pillars during the back-to-back triumph). Anyway, the team stuck behind him, and made him the top-class defender/captain he is today,ie. I beleive he was moulded into captaincy, which allowed him to flourish as a player as well.
Now, to even think of leaving a club that stood by him throughout, being ably supported by fans as well, just 'coz you are getting more dough, is blasphemy IMO.
Ronaldo wanted to go, he openly said so. Tevez also wanted to leave. But how would you feel if a player like Vidic or Rooney filed his transfer request? That's exactly what this saga has put us through.
But, with all said and done, I hope he makes the right decision and stays

Agreed. Podolski is not a great performer, but I've seen him play in the WC/Euro Cup (I'm sure you have too) and I beleive he does have enormous potential. Would have been a pretty decent buy at 10M for any PL club, but heck it's over now.
