IF EDWIN VAN der SAR CAN DO IT SO CAN PETR CECH.

The big question on the mind of many people are , Will the buy of Petr Cech from Chelsea to Arsenal b for a sum of eleven million pounds be worth it in the end as Petr Cech will be thirty three years old. Now goalkeepers do not retire at thirty four years or so. They can play well up to the age of forty years,, Dino Zoff won the world cup at the ripe old age of forty years in 1982. Edwin Van der Sar joined Manchester United from Fulham , at thirty four years of age, and played for a few more years at Manchester United. So why can not Petr Cech win trophies at Arsenal , after all speaking honestly here all three are just fantastic goalkeepers.

THERE IS A LONG TIME FOR PETR CECH TO RETIRE .

The new Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Ceh , who has made a 10.9 million pounds move from Chelsea to Arsenal. Has now clearly said that he is not thinking of retiring soon, he has in him seven years of football left in him. After all Dino Zoff won the world cup at 40,forty years for Italy in 1982. He is the oldest captain to lift the world cup, Gianlughi Buffon is 37 , thirty seven years now and is still playing very well. So why not Petr Cech may I ask.

THE LONG WAIT FOR PETR CECH IS WELL AND TRULY OVER.

At long last the long wait for the transfer of Petr Cech from Chelsea to Arsenal is well and truly over. Petr Cech passed the medical at Arsenal and has now signed a four year contract at Arsenal till the year 2019. Arsenal paid a amount of ten. nine million pounds to Chelsea for the very talented goalkeeper. In the year 2019 Petr Cech will be 37 years old . No problem here at all Dino Zoff the Italian goalkeeper won the world cup at 40 years in 1982.He is also the oldest captain at forty years to lift the famous world cup. So Petr Cech can still play on. The main reason he chose Arsenal over P.S.G was as his family are settled in London for eleven years.
