"John is probably Chelsea’s greatest ever player, the club need to show him some more respect"

David Luiz has taken time ahead of the game tonight to give his views on the contract situation with John Terry and cannot believe that the club are leaving him in limbo.

Speaking in Paris, Luiz said:

John is probably Chelsea’s greatest ever player, the club need to show him some more respect.

"He has been clear that he wants to stay at the club, and they are making him wait for an answer.

That is not how you treat a player who has given you so much and been a big part of so much success. The fans love John - if this is not handled well, they are not going to be happy.

I am confused why John hasn’t been offered a new contract. He is still the best central defender at the club and one of the best in England, there should be no question about him being offered another a year.

I really don’t know what to say, the whole situation has confused me. I think it’s obvious to everybody he deserves an extension.”

As time goes by without any news on an update on JT's contract from the player or the club it's still a worrying time. I keep saying it but surely everyone can see that he is the best defender in the Premier League and remains England's best defender.

I sincerely hope that tonight in Paris the club isn't reminded of just how important he is to the team. We all know that without him, we look a shadow of ourselves and lack leadership on the pitch.

Come on Roman, give JT a new deal!
