Terry: Bridge is going to be missed at Stamford Bridge

January 8, 2009

John Terry feels that Chelsea is going to miss Wayne Bridge after he was moved to Manchester City for US$15 million.

First-team appearances for Bridge were restricted with Ashley Cole playing at the top of his game. Terry voiced his disappointment over the fullback’s transfer.

Terry said, ‘He’s going to be missed in the club. I’m still at shock seeing a lad of his caliber not being a part of Chelsea anymore.’

‘I’m upset but feel that he made the right move. We understand that he is been here for long and tried breaking into the first-team. However, with Ashley and him being amongst the two best left-backs in the league, it was always tough for him to get the break through and become a regular.’

‘I think that at 28, he wishes to play week in and week out, which Bridgey will get at Manchester City. There, he may be able to show everyone that he’s right there with Ash.’

‘Once Bridgey will become a regular, his best will come out. He’s going to be a great asset for his new club, as he can play both left midfield and left back. He is also a great passer and moves fast on the field. It’s certain that his absence will be missed by all of us.’

Meanwhile, Portugal midfielder Deco slammed reports that insinuated him to be a pet of Chelsea Boss, Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Deco said, ‘It’s absolute nonsense for anyone to claim that he’s been showing a biased attitude towards me.’

‘I don’t require defending myself, but everyone knows that that I’ve won several titles without having Scolari on my side.’
