Rumour is we are considering resigning him if Courtois goes because Liverpool have apparently moved for Alisson. Would be an extremely backwards move in my opinion, sentiment aside he’s been on the decline for a good while now. If Aisson goes Liverpool we need to keep a Courtois. Simple. Even then I still would keep Courtois ahead of signing Alisson especially for 70M...

 

No chance, with all due respect to Cech, imagine him playing sarriball?

Bad enough when AVB tried to have him playing as a sweeper keeper or whatever variation/similarity it was. Courtois has better and quicker feet as well, which says something.

Yeahhhhh. We all love Big Pete but he's nowhere near the Cech we knew and loved these days.

Reeks o desperation

[Unionjack 7,531]

will this hamstring be the excuse gooners are looking for to put Leno in as starter?

Fair to say hes arguably beem one of the top 5 GKs in PL history.

Seen people saying De Gea is now a PL great, think they are hugely overstepping the mark a bit because as good as he currently is hes not been as successful, only won 7 trophies where as Cech has won 18. Schmeichel has 15... Surely being successful and a great player has to make the decision regarding these things.

Anyway back onto Cech, fantastic career. Absolutely top pro. Hopefully he goes into coaching, a very smart man who has plenty to offer, maybe here in some capacity?

Phenomenal goalkeeper who dedicated the best years of his career to this club and never complained when Courtois eventually came in.

I think it has always been understated also how well he came back from what was a life threatening injury to continue his career at the absolute highest level for a number of years continuing to have to show the bravery and character of a top keeper.

Like Drogba, his Chelsea career will forever be highlighted by Munich. Drogba got most of the plaudits but Cech saved Robben's penalty in extra time and two in the shootout (definitely tipped Schweinsteigers pen on to the post) - couldn't have asked for much more against a German team in a shootout! 

A huge Chelsea legend, regardless of his last couple of years at Arsenal, and I wish him all the best in his retirement.

[Special Juan 28,096]

The thoughts of him tipping THAT Schweinsteiger penalty onto the post will live with me forever.

He was a legend and a Chelsea icon.

Immortalized in the history of our football club.

Just think if we hadn't signed the "hook nosed cunt"| Petr would still be between the sticks for us and we would never of had a keeper problem.

Well done to Mourinho for playing him over Carlo. That was a big call at the time. Proved to be the correct one, but maybe not for Courtois being preferred over him later

Should also remember that Cech went the right way for all SIX penalties!
