Who took that pic of you, Jay?

Shouldn't take 'news' from Arabic clubs too seriously.

If we sign Griezemann we should all have your avatar for a day.

I'll just leave this here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2tq7zo

I get some error message in mandarin (I suppose) when I try to register...

Gullit? Seedorf? Rijkaard? Trapatoni? Kaka and Ronaldinho if you can consider them midfielders? So many more as well...

Yeah, Italians are weird about their legends...

Pirlo is not a Milan 'legend' to begin with. He's an Inter fan ffs!

^^ That looks terrible. Looks like a handball ball or something....

@tiby2979,@Iggy Doonican, drop it please. Let's try to get back on topic and refrain from needless personal attacks.

I was a HUGE fan of Song during his Arsenal days but I'm not sure of his level now. Plus even he would cost more than Mikel who is 75k/wk and costs nothing on transfer fees because of how long he's been here.

Not necessarily league titles. Think he's more likely to win stuff and compete in Europe at utd than Arsenal despite their recent FA cups.

Yes, because he is a great keeper and a generally awesome guy who deserves to have continued success in his career. United will win titles in the coming seasons with or without Petr. I'd rather see him competing at a top club like that than an ambition-less club like Arsenal.

Think Jose will try to keep hold of him. Hard to find a cheaper experienced reliable backup.

I was hoping he would go to Manchester because that would be a lot better for his ambition and his career by I'm guessing by the lack of rumors and the fact that Petr seems to have made his mind up this quickly that he didn't get any signals from utd.

But he wants Arsenal which completely ties our hands.

He's 33, has one year left on his contract and wants to leave. We had ZERO leverage in this transfer. 11m is very decent considering the circumstances.

Think Juve would be a very good move for him as they will most likely be changing systems with the departure of Pirlo and Tevez and will desperate need wingers, especially if they decide to transition to a lone striker. He'd be perfect for them and obviously for the Serie A as we've already seen, That said, I don't think Juve are genuinely interested.

Yeah sure, go ahead mate. Would be very much appreciated.

Sam Allerdyce's dream midfield, that!

No Mikel?

I think you should keep your current name. It's iconic. xPetrCechx is a TC legend

Right, let's just set a few rules so we don't face the same fiasco that was the Lampard thread last season: Any personal insult towards Petr (or any other Chelsea player, present or past) will be removed. Repeated offenders will be warned and suspended. Let's try to keep this debate about the football alone. Thanks.

Stopped watching before he came on but I read a lot of praise for him on Twitter which we all know is always incredibly reliable!
