Petr Cech: Retiring at the end of the season

[L3T5 PL4Y]

@Mark Tobias Just forget about it.

Really hope not. He is total garbage and shouldn't even be at the club. You can't risk going into the season with just Leno and this clown.

I think the whole argument started with this post of yours. How are you calling him garbage? His performance at Reading has been praised by all their fans. There were so many fans begging him to stay back. He was Man-of-match in a couple of matches too. From some of the highlights, it looks like he made some brilliant saves. What makes you say that he is garbage?

Cech over Leno for me.

I will take the legend over the apprentice....especially in a final.

No thanks. Agent Cech against his confirmed imminent-future employer?

Yeah. Even without these news, I would have chosen Leno ahead purely because of Cech's weakness in penalties.
If his discussions about his future role is true, it is a hundred percent NO. That is totally unprofessional off-field behaviour. I am already getting memories of Ox's game against Liverpool. What we do now, sends a message on how seriously we take the club to all the players out there. Given that we are already having a name as retirement club/Vacation spot, this is the time to show that such kind of behaviour will not be tolerated.

Well, that was in the championship. Even if he is not totally garbage trusting him as no.2 would be risky.

Wtf? How does this **** get to say that?

And we're about to start him in a final against his beloved rentboys. :rofl:

 

[GDeep™]

Absolute ****.

 

[OnlyOne]

Swear to f*ck he better not start.

 

[GDeep™]

He’s definitely starting, Emery fan boying over him ffs.

 

[Artisan]

Dude got away with ****ing murder while keeping his reputation intact, he was every bit as bad as Mustafi last season. Now he'll be able to go off into the sunset no matter what happens in the final, if we win it'll be a perfect end to his career for him and if we lose he'll just go celebrate with his real club and employers.

I like the comments, honest reflection about what culture has been going on for way too long during the Wenger years, and the uphill battle Emery faces to change it. Fair play, Petr.

This may be true for the last five years or so of Wenger's reign but David Bentley was interviewed a couple of days ago and talked about fights on the training pitch. We lost a lot after 2012 no doubt. Regretting signing Cech at all.

we should have hung on to our two Polish goalies - both have proved since leaving us that we undervalued them

I think his comments are fairly complimentary towards us in general. As for the negative bits, they aren’t things that haven’t been said by many people before.

I'd prefer Leno to play though. He’s simply better.

I get where you're coming from but those ships had sailed too. When your own fans call you Flappyhandski and you play more like a fan than a pro, it's probably best to move on. Strangely, I think Wenger rated both as good but for Fabianski it was too many high profile errors and with Woj, it was the smoking,his father and personality

Of course Chelsea had a better mentality, they were the original oil club. The best players expect to win.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Odd thing to say and like most people have said, since Emery came in it seems he has tried to change that culture and mindset. Or maybe the pressure to perform is unbelievably high at Chelsea. So it's all relative. After all a manager can win a double but as soon as he loses a couple of games he is out of the door. That pressure inevitably transmits to the players.
