Is he still recovering from that? I've seen him still wear the headgear when playing
He's fully recovered but uses it as a safety precausion.
It was found that he has a thin skull and was very lucky he didn't suffer a much more serious injury, one that would have ended his career or even worse
Now that it's signed, I'm very happy that Cech is ours. A top quality keeper shouldn't be sniffed at. Also good to see some good business done relatively early for a change. Hopefully some more will be joining him, but that's to be seen.
Good to see we've done our first signing early on. Should make us feel much more secure with Cech in goal.
Agreed, I think the back 4 will be more confident now and Cech will marshall them better. Ospina is a good shot stopper but that's it, if he stays hopefully he will learn from Cech.

Our 1st great GK since mad Jens.
I wouldn't even say Ospina is a good shot stopper. He had let through some long range shots but is a calming influence at the back which is what kept him in the team.
Cech is a massive improvement and will help keep the goals against column down. Just need to score the big goals in the biggest games. Sanchez is certainly capable of it but we need a few more.
Abou Diaby has been released having reached the end of his contract. Shame his career ended with that horror tackle from Dan Smith as he showed glimpses of a great player.
The Telegraph reporting we are ready to listen to offers for David Ospina, Lukas Podolski, Joel Campbell and Mathieu Flamini to free up space in the squad for transfers.
Also Abou Diaby will be allowed to train at Arsenal whilst looking for another club. Nice gesture and leaves open the possibility of keeping him should his injury problems improve.
Regarding transfers our interest seems to have switched from Vidal to William Carvalho after scouts were sent to watch the Euro U21 Champs final where he was named player of the tournament.
Personally I would much prefer him to Vidal to add physicality and height to our midfield. He is also alot younger so we should get a good few years out of him.
Ospina - Keep him, make him our No.2 get rid of Chesney.
Podolski - Had plenty of chances to be consistant. Get rid.
Joel Campbell - Hasn't had any chances to prove himself. Give him playtime.
Flamini - Served us well but no longer needed. Let him go.

Don't agree with you about Campbell. He's not the level required to move us to the next level.
Agreed with the other 3 though.
How do we know Campbell is not the required level if he's never had any chances to show what he can do at this level?
I'm still puzzled as to why he's not been given a real chance to prove himself. I know that a few good matches in the World Cup might not necessarily prove his worth, but they sure piqued my interest. I mean, maybe he's not material we can use, but considering the lack of chances he's been shown to prove himself, it does feel a waste.
Podolski has always been the same. He has moments of genius but they're so rare you hardly notice them. He was the same at Munich as at Arsenal, he comes across as a lazy player.
Ozil is in the same kind of mold as well.

You shouldn't need a membership as the Emirates Cup is on General Sale to those without a membership. You might need an online account though to sign in which is free.

Sanchez is just out of this world incredible! What a player!!! And so modest and completely low maintenance. Absolutely world class! If Wenger doesn't injure him, I believe he can lead Arsenal to the PL title

Wenger and his training field full blooded challenges, he strips off his puffa coat and gets stuck in.

He was a sensational player at his best.

Cut him loose.

Good player who could have been great. Shame.
