Terry or Ferdinand aren't the players they used to be. Yes, Terry is fantastic leader but when he played with Carvalho, I would always think what a player Carvalho is. Really not replacing Carvalho was a huge mistake. I would take Ricky any day over Terry or Ferdinand.
And I think if he wasn't English he probably wouldn't be starting for Chelsea now. Most of the challenges he wins are by fouling players that refs don't see.
If thats the case then surely refs would have clammped down on it by now??
