There is a long list of reasons why Cech’s transfer to Arsenal should be a no-brainer. There are the statistics, there is the experience, the character and a lot of other reasons why Wenger should insist on signing the Czech international even with Mourinho’s adversity.
All these have been mentioned over and over but one very important detail slipped everyone’s attention. According to ESPN, probably the most important reason for which Cech should come to the Emirates is to give Arsenal time to try and also improve their staff. In 2003 when David Seaman ended his 13 year long career Wenger brought in Gerry Peyton as goalkeeping coach and since then none of the stoppers who defended Arsenal’s goal managed to stand out and most importantly, to provide the much needed continuity and reliability that gives a team confidence.
Even though Lehmann was great, he was bought while he was 33 and had only a limited time to play. Almunia was the first to get under Peyton’s guidance and lack consistency.
There was also Mart Proom who went by unnoticed and spent only one year at the Emirates. Then there were Vito Mannone, Lukasz Fabianski and even Szczesny, none of which managed to reach their full potential.
They struggled, lacked confidence, and failed to be on the same level as the rest of the team on several occasions. Now, there is Ospina who seems very likely to be going down the same path as the others.
Hopefully, Wenger will sign Cech and find a way to upgrade yet another part of his staff that seems to be failing alongside the medical staff who cannot find a way to prevent players from getting injured over and over again.
