Petr Cech

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

You guys shouldn't worry.. I know Cech is probably the best GK in the world, but think about Arsenal's defence. Who's gonna help him? Turtlesacker? Gibbs? BELLERIN? Chambers ? They have an average defence and their style of play won't help Cech either, their defence will be uncovered multiple times and believe me, not even Cech will save them. Their problem is the defence, not the GK.

Goodbye, Legend!

Agree. Well their problem are in every area tbh. I feel sorry for Cech have to play with those bunch of average players in front of him.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Still in utter disbelief that this is happening.. Cech to Arsenal of all clubs..

..worse still, there's not a doubt in my mind that he'll be against us in the Community Shield! Has anyone even thought about that??

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

This thread better be prepared for a meltdown every time Courtois conceded a goal.

goodbye legend!

[iseah100 5,612]

Can't believe Cech has actually made this move! It shows he really doesn't care about the club or his Chelsea legacy! Lampard moved to City for 1 season, it made a small dent in his Chelsea legacy but this is on another level.

Cech will potentially spend the next 5 years at Arsenal and possibly retire there! In 5 years time if he does well at Arsenal they will be calling him an Arsenal legend, and it's highly likely by his 3rd or 4th year there most Chelsea fans will have no more love for the guy!

Such a shame after everything he has achieved at Chelsea, he will now most likely be remembered at the end of his career as an Arsenal man.

Lmao. I can't even.

That's a pretty fucking stupid piece of business if I'm honest.

[oldportblue 547]

wow of all the clubs in the world, he chooses that pathetic lot of whiny, spineless, deluded losers? the thing that is maddening about this is that arse have been gutless and spineless for years, from their manager down to their 3rd gk, and now we're giving them one of the most impressive leaders and winners in all of football...

thanks for everything to PC and all but i will never consider him in the same way as if he went to psg or something, this is straight up betrayal to the chelsea fans who've supported and idolised him for more than a decade, as far as i'm concerned...

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Not the best piece of business but I suppose sometimes compassion has to come over money. Especially for a guy like Cech.

Not overly worried unless they get a super centreback to replace Mertesacker. And a top striker. And a top LB.

3 signings away boys. They do us for depth of squad but we certainly have the best starting XI.

meh, football is just a business

for most it is... unfortunately

Lmao. I can't even.

You can't even what? Put a sentence together? Thought not.

[Ledg 640]

it's like we desperate to sell him...

It looks like it but the reallity is we're not. Cech is the one who is desperate to leave to club to play more minutes. The bad part is that he wants to stay in England and there isn't a lot the club can do about it.

But I have to agree with the other who says that he can't see Cech as a signing which will make Arsenal a top contender. From our time with AVB we know that high-line defence and Cech doesn't understand each other so well.

[Pizy 18,415]

The shit we're gonna get for years over this deal is going to hurt.

My hate for them grows more and more.

[iseah100 5,612]

You can't even what? Put a sentence together? Thought not.

I can't understand how people think Cech is staining his image. Or people upset he's joining Arsenal. He is a person, he enjoys London, as does his family. He didn't choose to be replaced, he needs to make a living, play and enjoy his last few years in the game. Fans would prefer he uproot his family or sit on the bench. He is a person, Chelsea have decided he is no longer good enough to start. He's not a slave.

[zolayes 14,489]

I dont blame Cech but not happy we seem to have let Arsenal call all the terms about this transfer

[Laylabelle 9,381]

And it's done.Huge signing for them and expect him to well.They've had such dodgy goalies ...ahhh.community shield be interesting

Can't blame him though.done what's best for him n his family.just seems a cheap deal that with our luck come back to haunt..Hey ho

[Ledg 640]

Doesn't mean it's not gonna happen but still there's no deal.

UPDATE:

Yeah this is what annoys me more.

We wanted Ox and they don't want to do any deal with us.

But we have no problems in doing it.....Not the first time it happened with other players to other PL teams.
