City chief feels target needs Eastlands challenge

Challenge

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes has urged John Terry to make the move to Eastlands to 're-ignite' his career. City are determined to continue their big-money spending spree with a move for England captain Terry following the arrivals of Gareth Barry, Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez. Hughes has seen two bids rejected by Chelsea for Terry, but the cash-rich club are refusing to give up their relentless pursuit of the centre-half. Terry has so far refused to comment publicly on his future, but Hughes believes the defender may need to join City for a new challenge at this stage of his career. "We would like to think we could offer him a different challenge," said Hughes. "From my own experience, when you have been with a club a long time, you maybe get to a point when you need a new challenge, when you think a change of scenery would just re-ignite certain things within you."It is not a question of money. It's about a different challenge, a different stage in his life and career, and maybe that's why there hasn't been a response because John is seriously thinking in those terms. "I went through that process myself and I can understand if that is the way he is thinking. "We made an offer to Chelsea and I've made known my feelings about John Terry. "He's an outstanding player and an outstanding person. We'd like the opportunity to speak to him but as yet that hasn't been forthcoming."
