Petr Cech to Arsenal

Featured Replies

A gentleman's agreement that we'd sell him to Arsenal? I find that hard to believe. I find it even harder to believe that Mourinho would have agreed to it.

People like you seem delighted with a deal that has massively benefited Arsenal but not us. What kind of Chelsea fan are you? Me, I'd prefer the club to have looked after its own interests first and foremost, and it certainly is not in our interests to be doing Arsenal favours.

Of course Cech will return and haunt us in some way. That's what happens when you sell great players to rival teams. Why sit there in denial?

Don't be obtuse. The supposed gentlemans agreement has been discussed quite a bit but once more, just for you...apparently we said that if he gave us this season as back up we'd allow him to leave to join the club he wanted so long as we got market value.

As for me being delighted, you seem to be ignoring the numerous instances of me saying I'm NOT pleased with it. I'm the type of Chelsea supporter who respects our legends, goes to matches and supports my team and doesn't call the club mugs and gets disappointed when they act with class. What type of fan are you? Apart from the one who looks forward to old players coming back and haunting us to prove you right.

Funnily enough I remember another 'fan' on another forum saying he hoped Mata would destroy us when he returned with United. You just learn that some people get a bit overexcited in the heat of the moment and don't have that ability to view things in their entirety. This is all a result of us acquiring and developing the best young keeper in the world. That's a good thing.

I don't think anyone here is happy with the deal, some are just trying to defend Cech because a lot are unhappy with him.

I am not mad with Cech for going to Arsenal, it ticks all his boxes. I am dissapointed and upset because I felt his wishes would be accommodated as best as possible while being tempered by the clubs best interests and I feel that did not happen.

I also won't get upset for Roman honoring a gentlemans agreement that hurts us either. He has done too much to hold this against him and I respect that integrity to stick to your word when it would benefit you not too. I will chastise him ( not that he will care or even notice) for being foolish enough to enter such an agreement when the terms were seemingly so one sided or has mo provisions to better protection t the club.

Loyalty is thing of past these days. How can one be called a legend when he forces his move away to join our fiercest rivals. I'm not going to disrespect him or anything but he doesn't seems to be a legend to me. Jose wanted him to stay and probably did all he could, but Roman was too grateful & Cech had other ideas. He could have easily joined PSG. Paris ain't a bad place to settle probably better than London plus he'd get much more cash than Arsenal and certainly wouldn't have destroyed his legacy like he did today. Well I'm being pretty harsh by saying destroying his legacy but still.... 

 

Lampard's situation was different, he joined NYCFC first and was loaned plus the club didn't wanted him. But in Cech's case Jose dearly wanted him to stay but he couldn't displace Courtois from #1 and now he's off. Poor man.

 

Legends are certainly not like that. Walking away from the challenge, plus they are loyal.

Top post that man, agree with you.

I might add I am bloody gutted about this, not happy at all he's gone to Arsenal of all teams but why should he put anything before his family's happiness?

Apparently we said? So you aren't sure. We either said it or we didn't. Did this agreement include allowing him to move to Arsenal if he fancied it? Did Mourinho give his blessing?

 

If you're disappointed with this deal, then I have to say you're doing a good job of hiding it. No idea what type of fan you are, but I'm the type who wants the best for the club. This deal is not the best for the club, and I'm not going to blindly defend it just because they screwed up.

 

Sorry, but Arsenal have clearly got one over us here. Some might want to pop open the champagne over selling the 6th most expensive keeper or something, but not me.

That doesn't make it true at all now does it?

Gerrard loves Mourinho, could have moved to Chelsea 3 times but rejected because he loves Liverpool. That's a legend.

 

 

In no sense I'm saying I like Gerrard or anything.

11mil is not a lot but better than nothing. He had only one more year on the contract so that was also a factor in that deal. I think Arsenal will make other upgrades to their team and they will be probably our biggest rival this season.

I'm not happy with this transfer to say the least but I fail to see how exactly Arsenal got one over us. It's not a stroke of genius by them, it's all about Chelsea being nice to a long time player. We could have blocked the move this summer (Cech did not buy out his remaining one year of the contract) but decided to be gallant and not to. It has nothing to do with Arsenal.

Gerrard loves Mourinho, could have moved to Chelsea 3 times but rejected because he loves Liverpool he got death threat from his own fans. That's a legend.

Fixed that for you ;)

On a more serious note, Stevie Me was not spending most of his time on the bench like Cech did this season. Huge difference.

From everything I've heard it's true. Your sources may disagree though.

I'm not hiding. I've stated it explicitly a number of times. If you didn't pick up on that then that's a failing on your part and I've explained what type of fan I am. Do you need me to explain that further. Wouldn't want to upset tyke by going further.

I think arsenal have got a good deal. I think they've benefited from I being in a bit of a corner but we've got a fantastic team and I'm confident we'll win the league again next year.

Edited by Blue Daze

ladies and gentleman it would appear yet again that because Blue Daze goes to matches he's more of a fan than those that don't and it's only his opinion that matters.

Sorry, but I think you've got the wrong end of that stick. Someone asked what type of fan I was so I responded. If that's an issue for you then I don't apologise. Sorry. You deal with your own insecurities ok.

And that's deserving of wishingban injury to nba player that has helped us to be in everything? Grow up, wishing injury on any player is stupid, wishing it on someone like cech is a c**ts trick

What degree of a clueless dumbass you are to not see the difference. 

 

I am just wishing the player who wants us to lose the league to his team has a bad season, while having fond menories of him having won us the CL final.

No fecking spite in that. I just love Chelsea more than any one player. Piss off if you dont.

If you believe in reputations then youre just way to dumb to respond to and i'd ideally tell you to piss off, but will still humour you on this one.

 

There are plenty of teams that will take him as no1. He wants to go to arsenal because he can help win them stuff, by beating Chelsea.

 

well im flattered that you ahve bothered to humour me on this one. you are right, one of us is incredibly dumb. it's either:

a) the guy who thinks our goalkeeper of the last 10 years is f**king us over by wanting to be number 1, and NOT uproot his family, or

b)the guy who appreciates the service given to us by a great goalkeeper and a great man, and wishes him all the best in future.

One of us sounds mature and reasonable, the other sounds, frankly, like a bit of a c**t. I'll give you a clue... option b sounds more mature

HA, think you should re read what you out and it's not my own insecurities, it annoys me that you always bring up the fact you go to games like it makes you opinion mo aloud. Note to you, it doesn't.

From everything I've heard it's true. Your sources may disagree though.

From everything you've heard, which part is true? That this agreement included a move to Arsenal? That JM gave it his blessing? You seem to be basing your argument on a gentleman's agreement that you only know vague details of.

 

Yes I've seen all your innuendos about being a proper fan. That says a lot about the type of fan you are.

 

Arsenal have got a good deal. We haven't. They now have a much better chance of winning the league. I suspect that £11m will not buy us someone to have a similar impact on our chances.

But who benefits from this deal? It's all Arsenal.

What a terrible decision to sell to those c**ts of all people, the one thing they have been lacking. This is now the first transfer Jose hasnt signed off onand he has clearly stated several times this is a bad decision and will only hurt Chelsea yet the board just don't seem to care what he thinks on this one. Really hope this isn't the beginning of their relationship going bad again. And f**k Le Arse

Also I wasn't sure where to post this but I'm going to the Community Shield in August and wasnt sure where to ask which pubs would be best for the game since its at Wembley? I've been to the bridge a couple times but didnt know the best place to go for Wembley. Thanks for any advice, can't wait for the match!

Naah. Option b is making a right c**t of himself. He just wont realise it till he gets one in there.

The agreement was apparently to allow him to go wherever he chose if he gave us last season. Any club was a possibility so long as we got a fair price. That's what I've heard from people I trust.

As for the type of fan I am, I'm the type who recognises that a players personal life will take precedence over what a tiny minority of fans might think. I won't say what type of fan I think you are.
