Petr Cech

David James btw? Weird.

Calamity James is a legend

[Jase 43,479]

Such a shame that he's going to get that clean sheet record while playing for Arsenal.

Was thinking that. Will be happy for him, but I would have liked him to do it in Chelsea colours.

Meh.

[LeonDavis23 371]

pleased to see this guy have a tough game last night

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Congrats to him..got there in the end

CONGRATULATIONS, LEGEND.

It should've been in Chelsea Blue.

I remember when he was the new kid on the block. A Czech GK called Cech. I was sold. Took the league by storm from the go. I was in love.

A genuine legend and my favourite GK.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

This record is the reason why he moved to Arsenal.

That's how I felt until he went to Arsenal.

Like with Lampard now he's left City and Joe Cole after he left Liverpool, I'll love him again when he leaves those shitcunts.

I like how Chelsea allowed him his wish to stay in London but yeah, Cech in Gunnerwear is no good.

But I still love him to bits, I can't help it. Having Mr. T-Bo as his replacement helps (a lot).

[Tomo 21,733]

I don't know what's worse the fact Cech choose Arsenal or the fact Roman sanctioned it.

Thierry Henry would have probably liked London life and been partial to staying, but he would never have come here after leaving Arsenal.

When you build up such a legend status at a club, you DON'T join a rival, its one thing Cesc and Gallas doing it, its another Cech doing it.

Thanks Abramovich for giving Arsenal the title

[Jase 43,479]

Should have just let him rot in the reserves, even for a season.....

[Leif 6,006]

shoulda just sold Courtois for 30m, kept Cech/some spine/that presence/talent he brings & just bought a good replacement keeper in a couple more years like every other club would do

we lost a lot of intangible quality with this move.

[Ossie the King 634]

Ok hes done it for his family, fair enough. However, youu have to question why the powers that be are letting him go, he has signed a 4-yr deal, so why couldn't he see out the last year with us, then sign a 3yr deal next summer?

If reports are true, that he will receive the last year of his contracts wage (£4m), then we end up being out of pocket once we have signed his replacement. We have £6m of the £10m to buy a keeper and pay his wage. Seeing as Stoke are being reported as turning down a £6m bid from us, for Begovic, I'd say we are the mugs.

On top of all that, where does it leave Mourinho? Said publicly that he didn't want him to be sold, he was obviously trying to take care of his squad.

So we end up swapping Cech for Begovic, and paying out on top. There's absolutely zero FFP in that.

Nailed Jose being undermined. Apparently it did have ramifications.

Absolutely not. Courtois is a freak talent and will go on to surpass every record Cech ever sat. Courtois at 22 is a better keeper than Cech at the same age. More to the point, right now, in 2016, Thibaut Courtois is superior to Petr Cech in every single aspect except for experience, and he'll achieve that with age.

Hahaha, no!

I'm pretty sure that if Tibo won't go to real for 50m he will set more records that Cech. The kid is one of the best even maybe the best goalkeeper in the world, and he is only 23! Cech wanted a move to Arsenal and we are not that club to keep players even if they want a move.
