He's actually agreed terms then it seems..

The fans that hate Lampard must now hate Cech in the sense that this deal is a bigger threat to our title then lampards move last season, purely because Cech will play every game and have more imput to Arsenals season were as Lampard hardly played and when he did he didnt really do anything. People will say he has a shit back line in front of him but whats to say Arsenal are going to stop here.

I get that he needs to think of his family but he must know that going to a massive rival that hates each other he is going to lose alot of fans and his Legend status, for me like lamaprd he is now just a former great chelsea player. I will always remember what they did for us.

the only Legend we have left in our team is Terry.

But the 'hate' for Lampard is not because he joined City. It's because he explicitly said he would never play for another English side and then put on a huge act and lied to everyone to join City.

Frank was at the end of his career had already decided he wants to move abroad but decided to sneak a few months at City which would do absolutely nothing to his career but hugely damage his legendary status at Chelsea, just for a bit more money.

While Petr is still world class and potentially has about 5 more years at the top. He didn't lie, he didn't deceive the fans. His family is settled here and don't want to move and he deserves to break that EPL record.

It is completely different.

[Kieran. 6,317]

It's not completely different, at the end of the day Lampard and Cech chose to play for rival teams. And that stings.

At least Lampard joined City. This is Arsenal. ARSENAL.ARSENAL, FUCKING ARSENAL!??!!! ARSENAL!

so why didn't we sell him to Tottenham? obviously a team somewhere in the world will have bid for Lloris & they'd bite our hands off to have Cech; they wouldn't be contenders to us and he'd still be in London. why didn't he push to stay in London at a good ol' team on the up like Crystal Palace?

It is absolutely inexcusable to move to Arsenal from Chelsea. who the fuck does that? No legends do.

The question is irrelevant because it assumes that Petr is 'owned' as if he were some inanimate object. We don't get to sell him to whoever we want because his desires and decisions are a huge, possibly the biggest, factor in where he ends up.

As to why he would want to move to Arsenal over Tottenham, firstly obviously there has been no interest from Tottenham that we know of, but in a hypothetical situation where there is an interest from spurs, I imagine he'd still choose Arsenal because he's still world class and would want to play in the CL.

All that said, I don't see how moving to Tottenham would be better from our perspective than moving to Arsenal.

Of course it stings, but we're talking about 'hate' or rather respect. The manner in which that is accomplished and the circumstances make a huge difference. I lost no respect towards Petr after this move even if I am not happy about it, but I lost a ton of respect for Frank because of the manner in which he moved to City.

Imagine the fucking arrogant shithole gunner pricks if they win the league..

Not gonna happen. Cech is a world class gk but not a fucking wizard.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

This is my last post on Cech. Let's put it this way Chelsea have had only two outstanding goalkeepers in our recent history. Petr Cech and Peter Bonetti. We've had some good ones, Eddie and Cudicini but the only really outstanding ones were Cech and Bonetti. To say Cech is no longer a Chelsea legend is absolute bullshit and disingenuous. Apart from all the medals he won think about all his personal achievements only letting in 15 goals in a season and kept 24 clean sheets in his first season aged 23 that's just outstanding.

He had 100 clean sheets in only 180 appearances another record. The man has been nothing but a credit since he's been with us and all that he achieved he did it with us not fucking Arsenal us. Yes some fans will get the hump about him joining Arsenal but as good as he is he's not the final piece in Arsenal's jigsaw not by a long shot. And Munich well you just don't need any superlatives for that night.
