Wenger praise for ‘amazing’ Cech

Petr Cech’s signing last summer from Chelsea was the only one Arsenal made last summer, and due to that fact was resigned to ‘only’ status in some quarters.

However, the Czech international has played a key role in the Gunners topping the table at the end of 2015, and his importance to the side is now obvious.

Speaking about the 33 year old’s contribution, Wenger said, “When you look at his record it is absolutely fantastic, because considering the number of games he played and the number of games he had a clean sheet, that speaks for itself.

“On top of that I must say I am surprised how quickly he integrated into our team. It looks like he has always played here for us… how quickly he became comfortable inside and important inside the team, is amazing.”

And on a title race that is as open as it has been for years, the Arsenal manager said, “I heard last night the cliché… ‘nobody wants to win this league’. I can say as well that everybody wants to win it.

“And if you were in the game you would think that’s not the case – everybody wants to win it but it’s difficult.”

I don’t usually give a rat’s testicle about what John Terry says but someone should really do a study about how many points have been won by an unbelievable Cech save *cough 7amkickoff cough* and also continue the study for the rest of the season.

“Nobody wants to win the league.”

Nobody wants herpes either but hell, a lot of undeserving people get it.

Let’s get us an EPL trophy nobody wants, guys.

You sound a bit angsty about herpes. Is someone speaking from personal experience? ?

You must be bonkers.

it took me a minute, but I love it

So apparently if we don’t win the league this season, we won’t win it for another decade.

Thanks, Carragher. Wish I had your powers of foresight, I’d make a killing on the lottery numbers.

All I want is the calendar year trophy.

I’ve read the exact same praise for like fifth time today and I just can’t get bored with it. Great, great lad.

It was long overdue that Peter moves to a bigger club, bigger stadium. He seems like he’s really happy here.

There is absolutely no doubt Cech has been mainly responsible for Arsenal challenging.
Since Lehman,Arsenal have had a series of sub std goalies. His arrival has changed the
situation.
With Arsenal challenging strongly,its better Wenger gets the guys now instead of in summer
who could finally end Arsenal’s title drought.

11m. Not a bad buy from a relegation contender.

They may say he made most of his clean sheets with them but he’s ours now and where are their clean sheets? Not with terry.;)

Worth also noting Wenger sent Dick Law to chase down Campbell’s signature, once derided by some as pointless.

Or said we needed Jenkinson instead of Bellerin or said Coquelin should get out while he can (like they later said of Campbell)

Before you think you know better than Wenger, think about these.;)

Wenger's love child

Peter Cech “the only one”

He doesn’t attempt spectacular stuff while being closed down by pressure like our mad sczesny. Still love the madness.

One thing I found comical is despite it all arsenal has brought out the sczesny in him a little. What game was it that he dallied outside the box not knowing there was a striker behind him…

He’s so good am already worried about what will happen should he get injured or retire in some seasons but here’s to hoping we win significant titles during his time

Most of the news articles on here appear to be x praises player x? I say let them win the league and then they can praise each other until their tounges fall out!

Smart-Arse

I fucking love him. He’s not a kid like a lot of our squad, he’s a real man. A man’s man. I’d take him as my father if I didn’t already have a great one. Love you dad. Happy new year

Dial square

Even when a opposition striker is “one on one” with him..I still feel it’s 70% – 30% in our favour.
