Arsene Wenger says that the consistency shown by Petr Cech in his career firmly establishes him as one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.
The Czech international signed for the Gunners last summer for £10m with Chelsea, and in his time at the club he’s impressed the Arsenal manager with his professionalism and the way he approaches the game.
One more clean sheet would equal David James Premier League record, and it’s unthinkable that he won’t break that this season.
“Knowing him well now after a few months, I’m not surprised by this kind of achievement because he is absolutely dedicated to his job,” said Wenger. “He analyses absolutely everything and is gifted as well.
“He is a super talent. He is certainly one of the greatest goalkeepers we have ever seen here in this country.
And at 33, his longevity is testament to his talent, according to the boss.
“I believe that there is no coincidence,” he said. “What is repeated is not coincidence, it is just class. As well, not only class but dedication and consistency of quality.”
Let’s hope he makes Sunday the day he equals that record.
Still waiting for video of that Cech rap initiation performance, you know somebody has it on their mobile. Someone get that cunt Piers Morgan on it, he has experience hacking into people’s phones.
Word! MC Pete C is the best there is, yo!
More like… “Cech Cech Cech on the mic, yo!” *drops the mic after saving every kick against ‘arry Kane on sunday*
COYG!!!
I hope he doesn’t save EVERY kick from Kane… Some of those will probably be at the other end!
Let’s hope he gets the (joint) record with a clean sheet at Sp*rs, that would be sweet.
And the absolute record the week after, no point in waiting around.
If he didn’t say ‘You better Cech yourself before you wreck yourself’ with emphasis on the Cech, then he missed a massive opportunity
You Petr Cech you’self…
Cech is another master transfer that Wenger pulled out, on the same level as Ozil and Sanchez.
When we completed this transfer, I thought we had surplus but not a huge improvement in terms of skill – I stand corrected.
A very good addition, hope He will be the reason for us winning the EPL
He already is but a league title with us and he really will go down as an all time great, what an incentive. The hat is cool too, I never made fun of it, never :-X
Me neither. Never once ripped the piss when he was on the wrong side of London. Not once.
Sorry for thumbs down – icons are too small on my phone.
Blogs – can I have bigger thumbs please?!
It’s all good, I can justify giving myself a thumbs up. Never done that before either!
Be careful what you wish for
So what happens now to Szczęsny?
Cech will be around for at least another 2 years minimum…
Just having read the article about our injuries, seeing Wenger here saying “What is repeated is not coincidence” made me chuckle…
Wow! Good point, you brainy….
I still cant believe cech is gunner. Class is permanent and it can only be found in Arsenal
I salute Petr Cech for not giving two fucks about what Maureen had to say and do what he thought was best for himself and his family and sign for the Gunners!
Just watched the press conference on AFC website.
Wenger is so impressive with his knowledge and honesty these days…
