The captain, who is currently serving in Bulgaria in the UK ahead of the European Championship qualifier tomorrow night, is looking forward to re-connect with Raul Meireles at Stamford Bridge, but will miss the presence of Yossi Benayoun, who last night joined Arsenal on a season-long loan.
Speaking about the recent signing of Meireles, Terry said he was surprised to see a deal done.
'I am, very late, I sat there watching, "said the 30-year." He's a very good player, I spoke with Stewie [Downing] and Andy [Carroll] and they emphasized how good he is.
"Andre [Villas-Boas] had him before. We missed Modric but it comes in a very similar role and it was very exciting with the players we've brought so far.
"Very sad to lose Yossi, I did not realize how good he was until I practiced with him every day. With the injury he picked up last year he was unfortunate because I feel he has much to give to Chelsea.
"Unfortunately he went on loan but we all wish him well and hopefully he can be a decent run of games. '
Terry also felt it was important the club keep hold of two young British, rather than lend them out to the other side.
"Daniel Sturridge has benefited a great deal from being on loan to Bolton last year and have been back and showed great form," the center-back graded. "He unfortunately has been suspended and I think he would be the first name on the team that are not Chelsea.
"We have young Josh McEachran also. We let him out on loan because he has a big part to play this year and we wish him well and hopefully he comes through."
