Jase 43,479 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Terry on Cech... http://talksport.com/football/exclusive-petr-cech-worth-15-points-arsenal-claims-chelsea-captain-john-terry-150622151629 “There’s talk of Arsenal signing Petr Cech and, if they do get him, he will strengthen them for sure. He will save them 12 or 15 points a season,” the former England skipper told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show. “Petr was an unbelievable professional last year. When you get left out of the team it can be hard to accept but, when he came in [to the side], he was exceptional. “He deserves a lot of credit for that. We understand he wants to play first-team football but nobody wants to see him leave the club. “He’s going to be sorely missed and will improve any side he goes to." Hard to disagree with that...

Strike 7,491 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 They will strengthen. But then, unlike Lampard's case, Chelsea have control over this transfer. I would hold off from selling Cech to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! The Mak 4,459 Posted June 22, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted June 22, 2015 It will be an atrocious transfer window if Cech goes to Arsenal and we only sign mediocre crap like Falcao, Dembele etc. (Not to mention possibly losing the likes of Remy).We are the champions and we are losing 1 WC player - we need another WC signing to replace him in the squad.(Edit: no, I'm not saying sign another WC goalkeeper) Blue Armour, Fernando, Reddish-Blue and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our only saving grace is none of the other contenders have really signed quality so far. The Mak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If supposedly he refused an offer of 150K-a-week from PSG, it´s that he does not have any intentions of going to a foreign club. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuer isn't coming here to sit on the bench. Nor is De Gea, Lloris. Unless we're selling Hazard just to go and replace him with N'Zogbia or Markovic, then I don't see any reason to be worried. Jose knows best. You can't have a squad full of WC players. Jose's probably thinking to start the season with the same regulars that have won the league and add more quality to his bench. Begovic, Falcao, Alex Song are not bad options to have in your squad if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Meh, I don't really care now.I just hope this club pulls of some extraordinary signings between now and September that means Arsenal can sign whoever the f*ck they want, but still won't challenge. chrismada9, Blue Armour and Reddish-Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Arsenal's best squad since the Invincibles. With Cech they're definitely our biggest contenders. United are still in rebuild mode while City have an aging squad.

There's an argument that Cech could be the final piece of the puzzle, though I think they're about 3 WC signings away from that.I still think that Wenger will continue to be Arsenal's downfall, him and their atrocious luck with injuries/their lack of an outstanding medical department. Jose's no fool though, he's going to see Arsenal's ambition & actions in this window and reciprocate them (I HOPE).Last summer Chelsea clearly were the winners in astute, quality, timely signings as well as appropriate loan recalls. The window is technically still closed and we can only really hope that deals are being done in the background that the media is being shunned out of, it's not past Chelsea to carry out business like this.

There's an argument that Cech could be the final piece of the puzzle, though I think they're about 3 WC signings away from that. Are they? At the start of last season I also thought they needed 3 more signings (GK, CB & DM) but Wenger has addressed that with Cech, Gabriel & unearthing Coquelin. You could argue they could improve on the last 2 positions but that would be nitpicking considering our own squad could also be improved upon as well. I think they could do with a WC striker but how many of those are available?I still think that Wenger will continue to be Arsenal's downfall, him and their atrocious luck with injuries/their lack of an outstanding medical department. Jose's no fool though, he's going to see Arsenal's ambition & actions in this window and reciprocate them (I HOPE). They've since sacked their medical department and brought in Shad Forsythe. Could be a coincidence but I remember a commentator saying that for the first time in 8/9 years Wenger finally had a fully fit squad to pick from him. Things like that including compromising his philosophy/ideals at away grounds, getting rid of that ridiculous high line, spending multimillions on World Class players like Sanchez, Ozil, Cech rather than young talent from obscure nations & winning trophies in back to back years make me believe he's finally wised up.Don't get me wrong some of the cracks are still there (bottling 2nd place when it was in their grasp, losing to Monaco in embarrassing fashion) but there's no doubt there's been a massive improvement in that club over the last 2 years.Last summer Chelsea clearly were the winners in astute, quality, timely signings as well as appropriate loan recalls. The window is technically still closed and we can only really hope that deals are being done in the background that the media is being shunned out of, it's not past Chelsea to carry out business like this.That's my major worry. We're the type of club that likes to get business done early so with the Falcao signing & the links to the likes of Dembele/Song I'm already dreading this summer & I'm usually not the type of person to panic or complain about our dealings. I fear we're resting on our laurels like City have done over the years but hopefully the club still have something up their sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
