A lot of reports have linked him to us

And now Matt Law of the Telegraph said

[size=small][font='Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]According to the respected Football journalist Matt Law, a move to Arsenal would be a match made in heaven for both parties, as reported on [size=small]SkySports[/size]. When asked if Arsenal are interested in the goalkeeping legend, Law replied:

“Yes, they definitely want him. They’ve had a look at him and enquired about him last summer when they saw Thibaut Courtois was coming back.”
[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]“If they could get Petr Cech that could be a really big signing. The move would certainly suit him because he can stay in London and it gives him another shot at titles. It’s whether they can convince Chelsea to allow him to do that."
[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]“With the service Cech has given Chelsea over 11 years I do get the feeling that they will let him have his pick.”
[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]“It would be a really big signing because I don’t think they’ve got a top-quality goalkeeper which sides that generally win the title normally have,”
[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]“Ospina has been better than I thought he would be but I don’t think he’s a top-quality ‘keeper for a whole season."
[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Open Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]“The mentality of someone like Cech, who has won everything at club level, in the dressing room would be huge for Arsenal.”[/font][/size]

Since we went ahead and signed Ospina, I can't see why any interest in Cech last summer would be repeated this summer.

I'm not very keen and I also think there's nothing in this.

Matt Law is a massive houseboater too.

Dreamland. Mourinho would sooner hang himself than deal Cech to Arsene Wenger.

I'll take either to be honest.

Burnsy, so what's your plan? Keep Ospina as 1 and Szczesny as 2?

Im am sure Wenger would like that but also sure that Chesney wants to play Euro 2016 and since he's been on the bench for Arsenal he's been on the bench for Poland. I think he'll leave this summer.

Cech would be an amazing signing. Main obstacle may be that Cech wouldn't want to play for us. I actually believe that Chelsea will show him the respect he deserves after his contributions to the club. He even agreed to that smiley on his skull for them.

Chelsea might be willing to let him leave, but not to us. This is not going to happen. Mourinho did let Mata leave for United, but that's because he doesn't rate Mata. He rates Cech. This is the same manager who wouldn't let us loan a nobody like Demba Ba.

If Cech demands a move to Arsenal then sure, Mourinho would probably let him join. Can't see any other big clubs will be after him. And he's in his last year of contract.

I reckon he'd 'allow' the transfer, but I'd imagine it would be for a hugely inflated fee, probably double what other clubs would ask for.

These rumours annoy me. We're trying to deal with Mourinho - there is zero chance he would strengthen our title challenge for next season. 100% guaranteed he will absolutely not let Cech join us this summer. I believe his contract is up in 2016, maybe he could join us then if we're still interested.

Sounds better than going cap in hand to Mou for his skullcapped second stringer.

I don't think Cech is all that. Not fussed.

DO not want. Though it would be fun if we win the league with him  😆

I hope its just lazy journalists speculating, I'm about 99% sure thats what it is. It would be a massive waste of time trying to deal with Chelsea this summer.

Not 100% sold on Ospina. Too quick to judge him as keeper. Need a full year tbh.
