Petr Cech

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

How about we exchange Cech for some bloke called Wenger for our u18 manager. Heard he is good at managing kids.

Don't worry, Jose will not just give them Cech without mocking them for good.

Cech going to Arsenal will actually break my heart in some ways!

Arsenal were so strong last season that I was actually terrified they would overtake us at the last hurdle.. offloading Cech to them only makes them stronger contenders for next season, and when they're a local rival, it makes it all the worse!

I'd much rather see him join PSG if push came to shove!

Not to mention my entire family support Arsenal

Alex my man, I agree with a lot of things that you post, but this is one of a few times I've had to quint my eyes at what you've written.. Walcott, Seriously?? Walcott hardly has a football brain at all.. his creativity and decision making percentage is at a stern 0%.. not likely to push Willian out of the eleven on the right hand side! Although English, there are better Arsenal players we could ask for..

I understand that Walcott has picked up a bit of form, scoring a hatful of goals, one particularly in the FA Cup final against Villa, but that form was around the end half of the season, where Arsenal went on a straight run of wins. In games where it matters, he doesn't deliver the goods. I'd rather go for someone who has been a consistent contributor throughout the season.

£10m plus Oxlade sounds like a better idea (and more realistic) if I'm honest.. we could get cheeky and ask for Ramsey or Sanchez but that's wishful thinking territory!

Arsenal wouldn't sell AOX if they had any sense. Walcott, on the other hand, is an English option as a squad player. He'd barely start but he's a great option as a winger and as a striker to bring on from the bench. AOX would command a bigger fee whereas Walcott, who is out of contract, could be offered to sweeten the deal. It's a likely outcome.

Wenger would teach our kids that winning is not important,it`s pretty passes and willingness to stroke his pocket hamster that matter.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

only Arsenal player I`d want is Ramsey.

Cech playing for Arsenal or Man U would be worse than seeing Cudicini go to Tottenham and possibly worse than Joe going to Scumpool.

Walcott would seriously have to develop his football brain then, if Mourinho were to even consider him.. otherwise he'd hardly get a look in. Though it's hard to suggest that Walcott is willing enough to sit on the bench constantly after having been an Arsenal regular for a majority of seasons.. you'd think that he would have a point to prove after having finished last season on a strong note..

If any cloud had a silver lining, it would be that Walcott would be nurtured by Mourinho, making him more creative and lethal than he currently is.. AND that he would be a better option than Cuadrado.

Definitely in agreement with you.

A few years ago I wouldn't have, didn't think Walcott would amount to the hype he'd received when Sven took him to the World Cup. Injuries and various factors played their part, but in the last 3-4 seasons (when not injured) he's been dangerous and intelligent on the ball. Some of his goals, in the striker position, have been works of beauty and I think the one against Newcastle sums it up perfectly.

Now is the time to pounce for Walcott too. He's yet to sign a contract extension (again) and Arsenal want Big Pete. They've got enough squad depth to compensate for losing him and truth be told, it seems like Wenger wouldn't be too pissed losing him.

Not to mention, he hates Spurs.

I'd prefer AOX. He is far more interesting choice than Theo. Look at this video what I'm talking about.

Hopefully

Swap with Mata

[termninja 5,290]

I really hope he goes to Man Utd if he really wants to remain in England. But I guess he wants to stay in London because of his kids, so Arsenal is very possible Damn

Despite Mourinho wishing to keep Cech or sell him abroad, the club’s owner Roman Abramovich and the Chelsea board have decided that he will be allowed to join another English club, potentially London rivals Arsenal.

French reports have even indicated that Paris St-Germain’s interest in Cech is cooling because they fear he has set his heart on joining Arsenal.

Mourinho’s threat that he will respond to bids for Cech by chasing players from the clubs that want him is unlikely to deter Arsenal or United.

Abramovich feels that Cech’s loyalty and behaviour deserves reward, particularly as Mourinho kept the 33‑year-old in the dark over who would start the season as his first-choice keeper and the Czech Republic international was not given a proper chance to displace Courtois.

Chelsea will demand about £10 million for Cech. Mourinho will tell the club’s board that the money must be reinvested in replacing him with a top-quality goalkeeper, rather than trying to bring in a bench-warmer, even if they have to pay big wages. Chelsea have looked at the Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Rob Green, but Mourinho would prefer Stoke City’s Asmir Begovic, whom he could confidently play in big games if required.

Begovic, or any other highly rated goalkeeper under the age of 35, would be reluctant to move to Chelsea as deputy to Courtois but the club are willing to offer a healthy salary.

Don't care if he goes to Arsenal, will always be a legend.

Don't care if he goes to Arsenal, will always be a legend.

I'm glad someone is thinking objectively.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

It's a shame Manchester location so far from London. It needs more than 4 hours using train? leave alone by car. If only just 1 or 2 hours distance by car, I think Cech will choose MU.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Had a feeling he would stay in England, though I was hoping it would be utd not Arsenal. Can't blame big Pete, he's still world-class, I'd have done the exact same if I were him.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Another thing I'm worried about though, and I have yet to read any news about it, is whether or not Christophe Lollichon will leave with Petr. I really hope he stays, he's one of the best goalkeeping coaches in the world.
