Why Petr Cech can easily rival Manchester United goalkeeping legend - Arsene Wenger
PETR CECH is "one of the greatest goalkeepers ever seen in this country", claims his manager Arsene Wenger.

Cech, 33, has impressed between the Arsenal sticks since his switch from Chelsea in the summer.
The four-time Premier League title winner cost Wenger £10million.
Discussing Cech's future, Wenger insisted the player - who was ousted at Chelsea by Belgium international Thibaut Courtois - could play for as long as Manchester United legend Edwin van der Sar did.
“He plays in a position where age is less of a restriction than in any other job," Wenger said. "I think (he can last until) 37 or 38.
“Some go longer but once you start to have a “four” the intensity is more difficult.
"Van der Sar was close to 40 and still doing well.”
