I could be wrong but every report I have read and the limited Chelsea games that I have seen Terry seems to be playing very well if not better. He may be a dick in many people's minds but he seems to still be a very good player, especially for England who seems to be stuck with over the hill guys as the base of their team right now.
he's a decent player who should still be on the team, but not a starter

he's very slow now, has been for a few years

Wayne Rooney is at times an embarrassment to the country, his family, his club etc.

but he's legitimately a top 5 player in the world when he is on his game, you put up with crap from him because you have too

Terry is arguably a top 5 English CB, but the drop off from him to Shawcross, or Jagielka or Dawson etc. is not big and hasn't been for the past 3-4 years
