Will Cech do a RvP? Aubameyang set to join our speedy attack?

Morning all.

No, I don’t mean have one good season then fade away, I mean win the league at the first attempt for the club he’s about to join……? Maybe, just maybe.

I don’t know many Arsenal fans who think that signing Petr Cech would be anything other than great news but it’s not done yet:

A tweet from the The Sports PR Company that appeared in Cech’s timeline confirmed that:

 “SportsPRCompany … as we told you, No transfer deal has been done yet for PetrCech – as soon as any news PetrCech will confirm.”

Cech is a proven winner with great experience and he’s got many a year left in him yet. If he brings his coach with him then all the better as Szczesny, who is expected to stay, will only benefit, as will young Martinez.

John Terry said yesterday that whichever club signed him, he’d earn them 12/15 points a season as he’s that good. Bearing in mind we lost out on the league by 12 points to the Chavs, that’s perhaps an odd thing for Terry to say…..

This is what he’s won:

FA Premier League (4): 2004–05, 2005–06, 2009–10, 2014–15
FA Cup (4): 2006–07, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2011–12
Football League Cup (3): 2004–05, 2006–07, 2014–15
FA Community Shield (2): 2005, 2009
UEFA Champions League (1): 2011–12
UEFA Europa League (1): 2012–13

That’s the level of experience and winning mentality he’ll bring to Arsenal….

To be honest, it’s a shock to me that the Chelsea owner is prepared to sanction this deal but perhaps there’s more to it.

Rumour has it that Roman and Petr struck a deal a while back when having signed Courtois, the big Cech would be granted a move on to any club of his choice as long as he accepted playing second fiddle to the Belgian for just one season…

But, and call me mad all you like, I think that Roman is trying to build bridges between the two clubs, especially the managers. The dwarf has been nothing other than rude and insulting towards Arsene Wenger since the day he first took steps on England’s fine land. There are times when Jose has done nothing other than prove exactly why so many football fans think Chelsea are a club with little to no class. He’s arrogant, pigheaded and takes himself a bit too seriously.

Should a fee finally be agreed and the reports in all the newspapers are true, we could very well hear today that Petr Cech is finally an Arsenal player meaning at last we’ll have a top class goalkeeper. Our opening game of the new season could be very interesting as we face Chelsea at Wembley in the Charity Shield Cup.

But after that game, the real season begins and Arsenal need more than just Petr Cech if we are going to be serious title challengers this time around and certainly if we are going to win the league.

I just hope that the big guy from Czechoslovakia is the first in what will be a very good transfer window for Arsenal FC. We are so close, the club cannot afford to let another great opportunity to win the league go by having failed to address our needs in the summer.

Talking transfer rumours, according to German newspaper Bild,  Arsenal are expected to make a £28 million bid for Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The front man is thought to be ready to leave the German Cup finalists this summer after Jurgen Klopp decided to end his time as manager of the club.

Aubameyang, a Gabon international, scored 25 goals last season and could become part of one of the fastest front lines in the Premier League if he signed for the us.

Apparently, well according to French website Footmercato, we are trying to sign teenager Charly Musonda from Chelsea. Jose’ll never let it happen!

Finally, it’s Patrick Vieira’s birthday today, he’s 39 years old. There’s a bit about him on the official site if anyone is interested. Click HERE to read.

Oh how I wish Arsene Wenger could find a player like him out there somewhere. Some sports writers believe that man could be Imbula….

That’s your lot for today, have a good one.
