John terry laments loss of youth players boot-cleaning responsibilities..
John Terry sat down with Fenners in the Soccer AM Boot Room this week to chat about, well, boots.
The Chelsea skipper is currently waiting to hear from Chelsea on whether they’ll offer him a new contract but he doesn’t look too stressed about life in this interview.
Terry looks back nostalgically on him time as a youth player, when he had to carry out duties for the senior players, such a boot-cleaning.
JT laments that youth players no longer have to clean boots, as he believes such responsibilities help shape character and stand to players when they graduate to the first team. 101 greatgoals.com

Welbeck after the Arsenal striker was ruled out for nine months on Wednesday afternoon

“I have a contract until 2019 and there are a few years to go yet. I will absolutely stay here,” Icardi is quoted as saying by the daily express..
“Do I want to become the new Javier Zanetti? Steady on, that’s a lot of years.

MAN UNITED LINE UP FOUR REPLACEMENT FOR LVG...
The intense speculation lies with Ed Woodward, the club chairman, who was instrumental in bringing LVG into the club after David Moyes left. He has reportedly given Jose Mourinho a ‘golden handshake’ to take over at the end of the season.
With every one knowing in the dressing room that MOURIHO is coming to old traford meaning that Ryan Giggs will leave the club as Jose appoints his own staff.
Mourinho wasn’t the only name suggested by the Manchester United board when looking at managerial prospects. They also looked at some other managers who might come in and bring the glory years back to Old Trafford. Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola were both wanted but had already signed up to other teams, Pep to Manchester City and Ancelotti to Bayern.
Mauricio Pochettino of high-flying Tottenham was also considered, as well as Jose Mourinho. Now it seems they are just as confused as ever, as LVG still reckons he will be the boss.
So who will be in charge at United next year? The saga continues..

Premier league new logo for 2016\2017 season
identity
that will come into effect from next season onwards.
The
decision comes after a meeting with all the clubs of the
Premier
League in July 2015 where it was put forward that the
lion
be removed from the logo to give the league the advantage
to
move away from the title sponsorship model.
“From next season we
will move away from title sponsorship
and
the competition will be known simply as the Premier
League,
a decision which provided the opportunity to consider
how
we wanted to present ourselves as an organisation and
competition,"
Premier League Managing Director, Richard
Masters,
said.
"We
are very pleased with the outcome: a visual identity which
is
relevant, modern and flexible that will help us celebrate
everyone
that makes the Premier League.
"We
look forward to sharing more details of our new
positioning
in the coming months," he added.
For
the design of the new logo, the Premier League consulted
two
agencies in Design Studio and Robin Brand Consultants
who
have gone on to give a more youthful appearing logo with
the
right elements to make it flexible for use in both broadcast
and
new media.
Paul
Stafford, founder and CEO of Design Studio, said there
was
still a lot more work to be done before the logos can
actually
be used from the starting for the coming season but
insisted
that the logo was designed with keeping in mind the
rich
legacy and heritage of the Premier League.
"Our
aim was to create an identity that acknowledges everyone
who
plays a part in one of the most exciting leagues in the
world,"
Stafford said. "And with a fresh, new take on the
iconic
Lion, we’ve created an identity that’s
purpose-built for
the
demands of the modern world. While staying true to the
Premier
League’s history and heritage.”
