Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck remains confident that captain John Terry, a target for Manchester City, will stay despite reports that the defender wants showdown talks with owner Roman Abramovich. Terry is on £135,000 a week and wants Chelsea to offer him an improved contract with Manchester City willing to offer him around £200,000 a week. "As a Chelsea fan I'd be devastated if John left but that's not going to happen," said Buck. "John Terry is synonymous with Chelsea and Chelsea is synonymous with him. "He has been here since he was a wee tot, he is captain of the club and captain of England. He is the backbone of our team and is not leaving."
