Terry would welcome Rooney
Chelsea captain John Terry says he would welcome the arrival of striker Wayne Rooney at Stamford Bridge.[LNB] Rooney has sensationally told Manchester United he will not extend his stay at Old Trafford beyond the end of his current contract, which expires at the end of next season.[LNB]The 24-year-old claims he has been motivated over concerns about United's squad and is eager to move to a club where he will always be in the hunt for trophies.[LNB]Chelsea would certainly fit that bill, given the spending power of owner Roman Abramovich, and Terry knows that a stunning swoop for his England international team-mate would benefit Carlo Ancelotti's squad.[LNB]Terry said: "Wayne is the best young players in the world. I am no different to any other player in saying that.[LNB]"You obviously have to respect Manchester United and Wayne, but who knows what's going to happen.[LNB]"We've got a great squad of players and he would add to that and strengthen the squad. He is the best player in the world for me."[LNB]Meanwhile, Terry believes that Chelsea are in a position to finally land the UEFA Champions League - a trophy won twice by United under Sir Alex Ferguson - after so many near-misses in recent seasons.[LNB]He added: "It's the one trophy that's eluded myself and the club. We've come so close, we've had our bad luck, our unfortunate games. [LNB]"The Liverpool semi - was their goal over the line or not? Then there was the final against Manchester United and the semi against Barcelona when we could have had five or six penalties. [LNB]"But you have to make your own luck and dig in deep, and I really do think we have the squad to do that this year.[LNB] "That's what I believe and I think everybody in the squad believes it as well. [LNB]"We've achieved so much domestically but it would be great for us and the club to step up to that extra level."
