I agree. He is undoubtedly an "unflushable turd", but a great, great defender. Despite, or because, of his relative lack of mobility he reads the game brilliantly. He's like a ball-magnet... just there where he needs to be. I kind of like his old-school centre half ways. Did you see the first game against Barca where Puyol had hurt his wrist? He showed it to Terry; he just grabbed it and squeezed. Good scoring record too.
