Petr Cech

[Milan 17,835]

I don't think he is happy, though. He wants some solution. Just read the latest interview with him for a Czech TV from yesterday.

'No one is happy when he has to replace his injured team mate. Those were not the circumstances I wanted to get back on the pitch under. It happened, though, and I am always ready to come on, be it from the start or during the match.'

'I do not think that anything is going to change now because I did not replace Thibaut because of some mistake or a bad performance. Anyway, that decision is up to the manager.'

'In no way am I happy. After 15 years, when I was playing every single game, 50-60 a season, it is a brand new situation to me. It is not looking to be getting any better so let's see what happens in the near future. If it really does not get better, I will have to think about some solution, because I want to play. I believe that I still have a lot to offer. I am definitely going to look for a solution.'

Fair play to Cech....am just grateful that he came on and played the way he would have when he was undisputed no.1.

If he doesn't leave in January, he'll certainly be off in the summer.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

I would love to see him staying, but I think he will be leaving in January, maybe on loan though. Almost certain he will be gone next summer

[Special Juan 27,104]

If he goes you just have to wish him the best because he is still top notch. I'd be more than happy with Mark as a back up as in Tibo we have an unbelievable keeper.

So, Cech just got awarded golden ball in his home country, Czech Republic. Big congrats to the 'old' man!

Cech is such a huge Legend. He knows he is not getting any more playing time. Maybe even knew it before the season started, but still was willing to stay for a fight against all odds because he didn't want to leave with the first sign (even if it's a definite one) of trouble.

Petr Cech claims he may quit Chelsea if he doesn't reclaim spot from Thibaut Courtois

@ChelsTransfer: Cech: "I've not spoken to anyone, but I think they know me well enough at #CFC to know the situation is definitely not the way I'd imagine"

Obviously this was expected

[Tomo 21,681]

It was always going to happen next summer at the very latest. We should make the most of having two WC keepers while we can.

Hopefully he will hold until the summer and get a great send off in May, hopefully during title celebrations.

[iceboy 992]

He is absolutely right. Another legend is leaving.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He is absolutely right. Another legend is leaving.

Unless we loan out Thibaut again :lol:

Yeah, the fact that he bothered to stay and put up a challenge for the top spot makes me respect him much more. His situation is also different from others like Mata and Lukaku since rotation is not very feasible for a keeper. Perhaps Tibo came around too early and if Cech was nearing the end of his career instead, say at about 37 years old, then he might stay all the way and accept a lesser role. Currently he still has plenty to offer at the top level and I think for his own sake he should get the top spot somewhere else (hopefully out of the PL) and win more stuff elsewhere.

Anyways if Cech is happy, then I am happy.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Which top club need him most?

[nyikolajevics 2,428]

Which top club need him most?

Monaco, Roma, Inter maybe.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Monaco, Roma, Inter maybe.

Sadly Monaco and Inter are not that 'top' at the moment, would be great if he could go to Roma. They have a good squad.

Don't think anyone can fault him for that. Best of luck to him (and hopefully he doesn't pull a Lampard on us)
