Chelsea skipper John Terry believes Wayne Rooney's new deal with Manchester United will kick-start their season.[LNB] Terry thinks his England team-mate's new five-year deal at Old Trafford will make life difficult for the current Premier League champions.[LNB]He told The Sun: "I think Wayne staying will boost them and make it harder for us.[LNB]"On the back of what has happened United will probably go and spend in January and at the end of the season.[LNB]"The fact that clubs haven't been buying because of what's happened financially in the world has maybe helped Chelsea in the last few years. Wazza staying is massive for them."[LNB]Meanwhile, the 29-year-old has hailed Carlo Ancelotti's side for their defensive 'doggedness'.[LNB]The Blues have yet to concede a goal at Stamford Bridge and have only let in two goals from their opening nine league games this season.[LNB]He said: "The key to not conceding goals is having lads who are willing to run 50 or 60 yards to make a tackle to help their team-mates.[LNB]"We've always had that doggedness about us. One of the big strengths of this Chelsea team is that we don't concede a lot of goals and we don't drop too many silly points.[LNB]"There were times at the start of the season when we rolled teams over, scored five or six and looked really good.[LNB]"But we can also go to decent teams like (Aston) Villa, fight it out with them and come away with a good away point."
