He wasn't ready when he first signed for them and we haven't got time to spend big money on a future keeper. We want the league title for next season, not 4/5 years down the line. Would you prefer us to spend £20m on a keeper that might or might turn out to be top quality in a few years?

I don't get the criticism on this one. I really don't.

Totally agree, the criticism is bizarre IMO. Cech is the best keeper available on the market PERIOD. We are not going to spend 20+ mill on a development job like Leno and quite frankly I don't trust us to develop any highly rated keeper to a high level. Our goalkeeping coaches are the laughing stock of PL, Cech is bringing his own one because he doesn't trust the chumps we currently have training our keepers! Assuming this deal eventually goes through its a massive signing IMO, he will be as important to the team as the likes of Sanchez & Ozil.

Arsenal now close to agreement with Chelsea for Cech. Nothing finalised/signed but talks progressing towards deal being completed #AFC #CFC

He's on his way!

We have obviously ceched him out properly so I don't think he is past it as some suggest, far from it.

I don't think he will be worth anything like an extra 15 points like some suggest but he is still a top keeper and a safe pair of hands imo.

15 points seems a bit much but I can easily see us gaining around 7 - 10 points more from converting a few losses into draws and draws into wins.

If it happens, Im pleased with this. He is good, and can only help to improve our team, both by pushing the two we have already, and passing on knowledge.

Good signing imo.

Fair play to Wenger if he does sign him. Two or three years ago he would have never have risked upsetting players like Ospina and Chesney.

Heck I'm not sure he would have done this a year ago.

I think he really wants the league title next year regardless of what cost. Bodes well for us.


Wenger and Gazidis :bow:
