It seems pretty clear to me that the thinking behind the Arsenal manager's decision to make the Chelsea and
Czech Republic keeper Petr Cech his one and only first team signing of the summer transfer window was not based purely on the veteran stopper's ability between the posts.
After his less than impressive Premier League Gunners debut at home to West Ham last weekend, I reckon that the number of Gooners getting the name of Petr Cech printed on the backs of their shirts will have dried up dramatically, but as long as he puts that behind him and helps the Gunners to a much needed win away to Crystal Palace on Sunday, I can see
the Czech Republic keeper being a popular choice with the fans.

If the Arsenal transfer rumours are true and Arsene Wenger really is keen on bringing the Chelsea and
Czech Republic keeper Petr Cech to north London this summer, it could be a key addition and could really help to give Arsenal a little extra edge in our quest to end the wait for a Premier League title.
There is one last bit of anxious waiting for Arsenal fans today, but as long as the medical team at the club do not find that
the Czech Republic keeper has some never before realised problem that stops him getting the all clear, then Petr Cech will soon be confirmed as an Arsenal player, joining his international captain Tomas Rosicky in north London.
According to a Metro report, they have today stopped taking any more bets concerning the widespread Arsenal transfer rumour linking us to the Chelsea and
Czech Republic keeper Petr Cech.
The players in question are the Southampton and France star Morgan Schneiderlin, the Chelsea and
Czech Republic keeper Petr Cech and the Borussia Dortmund and Serbia defender Neven Subotic.
Wenger has made just one high - profile signing this summer, the capture of
Czech Republic keeper Petr Cech, and moves to bring in Rabiot and Cavani would happily address two areas of weakness in the Arsenal manager's squad.
