I've said that Lewis Baker will be in the first team squad next year. I'm also told that JT will be offered a new extended contract with a dual role within the club but the most important thing is Conte remaining our manager for many yearss. He is a class act!

Well, I sincerely hope you're wrong. Terry has no business being in the first team anymore, even in a dual role. I really like the guy, and he's been a great player for us, but he's finished playing at the top level.

I'm sorry to upset you but JT is staying at the club. He is staying because Conte sees him as an very important member of the Chelsea fabric!

I have no problem with him being a member of the squad if all he dresses for are the games against lower league opposition but I really agree that this system and his abilities do not mesh. Honestly can't see him staying. Absolute legend.

should be offered a coaching role or club ambassador.

JT will be a member of the squad and on the coaching staff. I hope he learns a lot from Conte (class act) as he has from the likes of Carlo and Jose. He is well respected by the players and the Conte team and by the majority of true Chelsea fans! My guess is the majority of fans would also NOT want another Lampard situation.

The club will make no announcement on JT until the Summer, while he will be welcome to stay in a coaching capacity he is no longer seen as a first choice starter. JT himself still wants to continue playing and will almost certainly leave in the Summer to continue his playing career. I hope he lifts both the Premier League and FA Cups at the end of this Season. What a fitting tribute that would be to a Chelsea legend.

The Club and JT's advisors are going through the final details of a new contract. Subject to JT agreeing the financial package, JT will be both a player and on the management staff.

Maybe it's Chelsea idea and way of keeping as a very important squad member and keeping his club love mentality, in the squad?
