Saw the announcement on the train to work and punched the air and let out a little celebration. As I've said before, this is my dream signing. I can't believe it. I've never bought a shirt with a name on the back before, and I don't think I've ever bought the goalkeeper shirt either even as a keeper myself. Fucking tempted to get a goalkeeper shirt with Cech now. He could give us 4 or 5 top seasons like Van der Sar did for United.
To get him from Mourinho too. All that experience and those titles coming into the dressing room. As well as his own performances, the leadership and influence he will bring could be massive. This feels like a game changing signing. For Wenger to spend that much on a 33 year old in a position we're quite well stocked. To move ahead of someone he has developed for years and someone he only signed a year ago feels like that ruthlessness we haven't seen often enough.
We do need to make some other big signings though. This is fantastic but can't be the only "marquee" signing of the summer.
